The terminal widget uses a 28-color model comprised of the default foreground and background colors, the bold foreground color, the dim foreground color, an eight color palette, bold versions of the eight color palette, and a dim version of the the eight color palette.

palette_size must be either 0, 8, 16, or 24. If foreground is NULL and palette_size is greater than 0, the new foreground color is taken from palette[7]. If background is NULL and palette_size is greater than 0, the new background color is taken from palette[0]. If palette_size is 8 or 16, the third (dim) and possibly the second (bold) 8-color palettes are extrapolated from the new background color and the items in palette.

vte_terminal_set_default_colors ()

void                vte_terminal_set_default_colors     (VteTerminal *terminal);

Sets a background image for the widget. Text which would otherwise be drawn using the default background color will instead be drawn over the specified image. If necessary, the image will be tiled to cover the widget's entire visible area. If specified by vte_terminal_set_background_saturation(), the terminal will tint its in-memory copy of the image before applying it to the terminal.

vte_terminal_set_background_image_file ()

void                vte_terminal_set_background_image_file
                                                        (VteTerminal *terminal,

                                                         double saturation);

If a background image has been set using vte_terminal_set_background_image(), vte_terminal_set_background_image_file(), or vte_terminal_set_background_transparent(), and the saturation value is less than 1.0, the terminal will adjust the colors of the image before drawing the image. To do so, the terminal will create a copy of the background image (or snapshot of the root window) and modify its pixel values.

vte_terminal_set_background_transparent ()

void                vte_terminal_set_background_transparent
                                                        (VteTerminal *terminal,

void                vte_terminal_set_background_tint_color
                                                        (VteTerminal *terminal,
                                                         const GdkColor *color);

If a background image has been set using vte_terminal_set_background_image(), vte_terminal_set_background_image_file(), or vte_terminal_set_background_transparent(), and the value set by vte_terminal_set_background_saturation() is less than one, the terminal will adjust the color of the image before drawing the image. To do so, the terminal will create a copy of the background image (or snapshot of the root window) and modify its pixel values. The initial tint color is black.

Since 0.11

vte_terminal_set_scroll_background ()

void                vte_terminal_set_scroll_background  (VteTerminal *terminal,

Sets whether or not the cursor will blink. The length of the blinking cycle is controlled by the "gtk-cursor-blink-time" GTK+ setting.

vte_terminal_set_scrollback_lines ()

void                vte_terminal_set_scrollback_lines   (VteTerminal *terminal,
                                                         glong lines);

Sets the length of the scrollback buffer used by the terminal. The size of the scrollback buffer will be set to the larger of this value and the number of visible rows the widget can display, so 0 can safely be used to disable scrollback. Note that this setting only affects the normal screen buffer. For terminal types which have an alternate screen buffer, no scrollback is allowed on the alternate screen buffer.

vte_terminal_set_font ()

void                vte_terminal_set_font               (VteTerminal *terminal,

Sets the font used for rendering all text displayed by the terminal, overriding any fonts set using gtk_widget_modify_font(). The terminal will immediately attempt to load the desired font, retrieve its metrics, and attempt to resize itself to keep the same number of rows and columns.

Since 0.11.11

vte_terminal_get_font ()

const PangoFontDescription* vte_terminal_get_font       (VteTerminal *terminal);

Queries the terminal for information about the fonts which will be used to draw text in the terminal.

vte_terminal_get_using_xft ()

gboolean            vte_terminal_get_using_xft          (VteTerminal *terminal);

A VteTerminal can use multiple methods to draw text. This function allows an application to determine whether or not the current method uses fontconfig to find fonts. This setting cannot be changed by the caller, but in practice usually matches the behavior of GTK+ itself.

vte_terminal_get_has_selection ()

gboolean            vte_terminal_get_has_selection      (VteTerminal *terminal);

Checks if the terminal currently contains selected text. Note that this is different from determining if the terminal is the owner of any GtkClipboard items.

vte_terminal_set_word_chars ()

void                vte_terminal_set_word_chars         (VteTerminal *terminal,

When the user double-clicks to start selection, the terminal will extend the selection on word boundaries. It will treat characters included in spec as parts of words, and all other characters as word separators. Ranges of characters can be specified by separating them with a hyphen.

As a special case, if spec is NULL or the empty string, the terminal will treat all graphic non-punctuation non-space characters as word characters.

vte_terminal_is_word_char ()

gboolean            vte_terminal_is_word_char           (VteTerminal *terminal,

Checks if a particular character is considered to be part of a word or not, based on the values last passed to vte_terminal_set_word_chars().

vte_terminal_set_backspace_binding ()

void                vte_terminal_set_backspace_binding  (VteTerminal *terminal,
                                                         VteTerminalEraseBinding binding);

Modifies the terminal's backspace key binding, which controls what string or control sequence the terminal sends to its child when the user presses the backspace key.

vte_terminal_set_delete_binding ()

void                vte_terminal_set_delete_binding     (VteTerminal *terminal,

Changes the value of the terminal's mouse autohide setting. When autohiding is enabled, the mouse cursor will be hidden when the user presses a key and shown when the user moves the mouse. This setting can be read using vte_terminal_get_mouse_autohide().

vte_terminal_get_mouse_autohide ()

gboolean            vte_terminal_get_mouse_autohide     (VteTerminal *terminal);

Determines the value of the terminal's mouse autohide setting. When autohiding is enabled, the mouse cursor will be hidden when the user presses a key and shown when the user moves the mouse. This setting can be changed using vte_terminal_set_mouse_autohide().

Extracts a view of the visible part of the terminal. If is_selected is not NULL, characters will only be read if is_selected returns TRUE after being passed the column and row, respectively. A VteCharAttributes structure is added to attributes for each byte added to the returned string detailing the character's position, colors, and other characteristics.

vte_terminal_get_text_include_trailing_spaces ()

char*               vte_terminal_get_text_include_trailing_spaces
                                                        (VteTerminal *terminal,

Extracts a view of the visible part of the terminal. If is_selected is not NULL, characters will only be read if is_selected returns TRUE after being passed the column and row, respectively. A VteCharAttributes structure is added to attributes for each byte added to the returned string detailing the character's position, colors, and other characteristics. This function differs from vte_terminal_get_text in that trailing spaces at the end of lines are included.

Since 0.11.11

vte_terminal_get_text_range ()

Determines the amount of additional space the widget is using to pad the edges of its visible area. This is necessary for cases where characters in the selected font don't themselves include a padding area and the text itself would otherwise be contiguous with the window border. Applications which use the widget's row_count, column_count, char_height, and char_width fields to set geometry hints using gtk_window_set_geometry_hints() will need to add this value to the base size. The values returned in xpad and ypad are the total padding used in each direction, and do not need to be doubled.
