------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- Tooltip module for awesome objects. -- -- A tooltip is a small hint displayed when the mouse cursor -- hovers a specific item. -- In awesome, a tooltip can be linked with almost any -- object having a `:connect_signal()` method and receiving -- `mouse::enter` and `mouse::leave` signals. -- -- How to create a tooltip?

-- --- -- -- myclock_t:add_to_object(obj1) -- myclock_t:add_to_object(obj2) -- -- Now the same tooltip is attached to `myclock`, `obj1`, `obj2`. -- -- How to remove tooltip from many objects? -- --- -- -- myclock_t:remove_from_object(obj1) -- myclock_t:remove_from_object(obj2) -- -- Now the same tooltip is only attached to `myclock`. -- -- @author Sébastien Gross <seb•ɱɩɲʋʃ•awesome•ɑƬ•chezwam•ɖɵʈ•org> -- @copyright 2009 Sébastien Gross -- @release @AWESOME_VERSION@ -- @module awful.tooltip ------------------------------------------------------------------------- local mouse = mouse local screen = screen local timer = require("gears.timer") local wibox = require("wibox") local a_placement = require("awful.placement") local beautiful = require("beautiful") local textbox = require("wibox.widget.textbox") local background = require("wibox.widget.background") local dpi = require("beautiful").xresources.apply_dpi local setmetatable = setmetatable local ipairs = ipairs --- Tooltip object definition. -- @table tooltip -- @tfield wibox wibox The wibox displaying the tooltip. -- @tfield boolean visible True if tooltip is visible. local tooltip = { mt = {} } --- Tooltip private data. -- @local -- @table tooltip.data -- @tfield string fg tooltip foreground color. -- @tfield string font Tooltip font. -- @tfield function hide The hide() function. -- @tfield function show The show() function. -- @tfield gears.timer timer The text update timer. -- @tfield function timer_function The text update timer function. local data = setmetatable({}, { __mode = 'k' }) -- Place the tooltip on the screen. -- @tparam tooltip self A tooltip object. local function place(self) a_placement.under_mouse(self.wibox) a_placement.no_offscreen(self.wibox) end -- Place the tooltip under the mouse. -- -- @tparam tooltip self A tooltip object. local function set_geometry(self) local my_geo = self.wibox:geometry() -- calculate width / height local n_w, n_h = self.textbox:fit(-1, -1) n_w = n_w + self.marginbox.left + self.marginbox.right n_h = n_h + self.marginbox.top + self.marginbox.bottom if my_geo.width ~= n_w or my_geo.height ~= n_h then self.wibox:geometry({ width = n_w, height = n_h }) end end -- Show a tooltip. -- -- @tparam tooltip self The tooltip to show. local function show(self) -- do nothing if the tooltip is already shown if self.visible then return end if data[self].timer then if not data[self].timer.started then data[self].timer_function() data[self].timer:start() end end set_geometry(self) place(self) self.wibox.visible = true self.visible = true end -- Hide a tooltip. -- -- @tparam tooltip self The tooltip to hide. local function hide(self) -- do nothing if the tooltip is already hidden if not self.visible then return end if data[self].timer then if data[self].timer.started then data[self].timer:stop() end end self.visible = false self.wibox.visible = false end --- Change displayed text. -- -- @tparam tooltip self The tooltip object. -- @tparam string text New tooltip text, passed to -- `wibox.widget.textbox.set_text`. tooltip.set_text = function(self, text) self.textbox:set_text(text) set_geometry(self) end --- Change displayed text. -- -- @tparam tooltip self The tooltip object. -- @tparam string text New tooltip markup, passed to -- `wibox.widget.textbox.set_markup`. tooltip.set_markup = function(self, text) self.textbox:set_markup(text) set_geometry(self) end --- Change the tooltip's update interval. -- -- @tparam tooltip self A tooltip object. -- @tparam number timeout The timeout value. tooltip.set_timeout = function(self, timeout) if data[self].timer then data[self].timer.timeout = timeout end end --- Add tooltip to an object. -- -- @tparam tooltip self The tooltip. -- @tparam gears.object object An object with `mouse::enter` and -- `mouse::leave` signals. tooltip.add_to_object = function(self, object) object:connect_signal("mouse::enter", data[self].show) object:connect_signal("mouse::leave", data[self].hide) end --- Remove tooltip from an object. -- -- @tparam tooltip self The tooltip. -- @tparam gears.object object An object with `mouse::enter` and -- `mouse::leave` signals. tooltip.remove_from_object = function(self, object) object:disconnect_signal("mouse::enter", data[self].show) object:disconnect_signal("mouse::leave", data[self].hide) end --- Create a new tooltip and link it to a widget. -- @tparam table args Arguments for tooltip creation. -- @tparam[opt=1] number args.timeout The timeout value for -- `timer_function`. -- @tparam function args.timer_function A function to dynamically set the -- tooltip text.
