positionInlineChildren method

  1. @protected
void positionInlineChildren(
  1. List<TextBox> boxes
)

Positions each inline child according to the coordinates provided in the boxes list.

The boxes list must be in logical order, which is the order each child is encountered when the user reads the text. Usually the length of the list equals childCount, but it can be less than that, when some children are ommitted due to ellipsing. It never exceeds childCount.

@protected
void positionInlineChildren(List<ui.TextBox> boxes) {
  RenderBox? child = firstChild;
  for (final ui.TextBox box in boxes) {
    if (child == null) {
      assert(false, 'The length of boxes (${boxes.length}) should be greater than childCount ($childCount)');
      return;
    }
    final TextParentData textParentData = child.parentData! as TextParentData;
    textParentData._offset = Offset(box.left, box.top);
    child = childAfter(child);
  }
  while (child != null) {
    final TextParentData textParentData = child.parentData! as TextParentData;
    textParentData._offset = null;
    child = childAfter(child);
  }
