text property

InlineSpan? get text

The (potentially styled) text to paint.

After this is set, you must call layout before the next call to paint. This and textDirection must be non-null before you call layout.

The InlineSpan this provides is in the form of a tree that may contain multiple instances of TextSpans and WidgetSpans. To obtain a plain text representation of the contents of this TextPainter, use plainText.

Implementation

InlineSpan? get text => _text;
set text (InlineSpan? value)

Implementation

set text(InlineSpan? value) {
  assert(value == null || value.debugAssertIsValid());
  if (_text == value) {
    return;
  }
  if (_text?.style != value?.style) {
    _layoutTemplate?.dispose();
    _layoutTemplate = null;
  }

  final RenderComparison comparison = value == null
      ? RenderComparison.layout
      : _text?.compareTo(value) ?? RenderComparison.layout;

  _text = value;
  _cachedPlainText = null;

  if (comparison.index >= RenderComparison.layout.index) {
    markNeedsLayout();
  } else if (comparison.index >= RenderComparison.paint.index) {
    // Don't invalid the _layoutCache just yet. It still contains valid layout
    // information.
    _rebuildParagraphForPaint = true;
  }
  // Neither relayout or repaint is needed.
}
