An actor for displaying and editing text

`ClutterText` is an actor that displays custom text using Pango as the text rendering engine.

`ClutterText` also allows inline editing of the text if the actor is set editable using `clutter_text_set_editable()`.

Selection using keyboard or pointers can be enabled using `clutter_text_set_selectable()`.

since: 13

###### Clutter.Actor:x-align

The alignment of an actor on the X axis, if the actor has been given extra space for its allocation. See also the `ClutterActor:x-expand` property.

since: 13

###### Clutter.Actor:x-expand

Whether a layout manager should assign more space to the actor on the X axis.

since: 13

###### Clutter.Actor:y

Y coordinate of the actor in pixels. If written, forces a fixed position for the actor. If read, returns the fixed position if any, otherwise the allocation if available, otherwise 0.

###### Clutter.Actor:y-align

The alignment of an actor on the Y axis, if the actor has been given extra space for its allocation.

#### Signals

###### Clutter.Text::activate

The signal is emitted each time the actor is ‘activated’ by the user, normally by pressing the ‘Enter’ key. The signal is emitted only if `ClutterText:activatable` is set to `TRUE`.

since: 13

###### Clutter.Text::cursor-changed

The signal is emitted whenever the cursor position or size changes.

since: 13

###### Clutter.Text::cursor-event

The signal is emitted whenever the cursor position changes inside a `ClutterText` actor. Inside `rect` it is stored the current position and size of the cursor, relative to the actor itself.

deprecated: 1.16 since: 13

###### Clutter.Text::delete-text

This signal is emitted when text is deleted from the actor by the user. It is emitted before `self` text changes.

since: 13

###### Clutter.Text::insert-text

This signal is emitted when text is inserted into the actor by the user. It is emitted before `self` text changes.

since: 13

###### Clutter.Text::text-changed

The signal is emitted after `actor`‘s text changes.

since: 13

##### Signals inherited from ClutterActor (27)

###### ClutterActor::button-press-event

The signal is emitted each time a mouse button is pressed on `actor`.

since: 13

###### ClutterActor::button-release-event

The signal is emitted each time a mouse button is released on `actor`.

since: 13

###### ClutterActor::captured-event

The signal is emitted when an event is captured by Clutter. This signal will be emitted starting from the top-level container (the `ClutterStage`) to the actor which received the event going down the hierarchy. This signal can be used to intercept every event before the specialized events (like ClutterActor::button-press-event or ::key-released-event) are emitted.

###### ClutterActor::destroy

The signal notifies that all references held on the actor which emitted it should be released.

since: 13

###### ClutterActor::enter-event

The signal is emitted when the pointer enters the `actor`.

since: 13

###### ClutterActor::event

The signal is emitted each time an event is received by the `actor`. This signal will be emitted on every actor, following the hierarchy chain, until it reaches the top-level container (the `ClutterStage`).

###### ClutterActor::hide

The signal is emitted when an actor is no longer rendered on the stage.

since: 13

###### ClutterActor::key-focus-in

###### ClutterActor::parent-set

This signal is emitted when the parent of the actor changes.

###### ClutterActor::pick

deprecated: 1.12 since: 13

###### ClutterActor::queue-relayout

The signal is emitted when `clutter_actor_queue_relayout()` is called on an actor.
