This group discusses functions of the external section of Edje.

The programmer can create new types for parts, that will be called generically EXTERNALS as they are not native of Edje. The developer must also create plugins that will define the meaning of each extra properties carried by these parts of type EXTERNAL.

As long as there are new types properly registered with the plugins created, the user can use the parts of type EXTERNAL as all the parts of native types.

Functions
const char *	edje_external_param_type_str (Edje_External_Param_Type type)
	Converts type identifier to string nicer representation.

Define Documentation

#define EDJE_EXTERNAL_DOUBLE_UNSET DBL_MAX

Helper macro to indicate an EXTERNAL's double parameter is undefined.

#define EDJE_EXTERNAL_INT_UNSET INT_MAX

Helper macro to indicate an EXTERNAL's integer parameter is undefined.

#define EDJE_EXTERNAL_TYPE_ABI_VERSION (3)

Version of the EDJE External ABI used by this library .

Typedef Documentation

typedef struct _Edje_External_Param Edje_External_Param

Struct that holds parameters for parts of type EXTERNAL.

typedef enum _Edje_External_Param_Flags Edje_External_Param_Flags

Flags that determine how a parameter may be accessed in different circumstances.

typedef struct _Edje_External_Param_Info Edje_External_Param_Info

Struct holding information about an EXTERNAL part's parameters.

When creating types to use with EXTERNAL parts, an array of this type is used to describe the different parameters the object uses.

This struct holds the name, type and flags that define how and when the parameter is used, as well as information specific to each type, like the maximum or minimum value, that can be used by editors to restrict the range of values to set for each parameter.

typedef struct _Edje_External_Type Edje_External_Type

Alias for _Edje_External_Type

typedef struct _Edje_External_Type_Info Edje_External_Type_Info

Alias for _Edje_External_Type_Info

Enumeration Type Documentation

enum _Edje_External_Param_Flags

Flags that determine how a parameter may be accessed in different circumstances.

Enumerator:

EDJE_EXTERNAL_PARAM_FLAGS_NONE	Property is incapable of operations, this is used to catch bogus flags.
EDJE_EXTERNAL_PARAM_FLAGS_GET	Property can be read/get.
EDJE_EXTERNAL_PARAM_FLAGS_SET	Property can be written/set. This only enables edje_object_part_external_param_set() and Embryo scripts. To enable the parameter being set from state description whenever it changes state, use EDJE_EXTERNAL_PARAM_FLAGS_STATE.
EDJE_EXTERNAL_PARAM_FLAGS_STATE	Property can be set from state description.
EDJE_EXTERNAL_PARAM_FLAGS_CONSTRUCTOR	This property is only set once when the object is constructed using its value from "default" 0.0 state description. Setting this overrides EDJE_EXTERNAL_PARAM_FLAGS_STATE.
EDJE_EXTERNAL_PARAM_FLAGS_REGULAR	Convenience flag that sets property as GET, SET and STATE.

enum Edje_External_Param_Type

The possible types the parameters of an EXTERNAL part can be.

Enumerator:

EDJE_EXTERNAL_PARAM_TYPE_INT	Parameter value is an integer.
EDJE_EXTERNAL_PARAM_TYPE_DOUBLE	Parameter value is a double.
EDJE_EXTERNAL_PARAM_TYPE_STRING	Parameter value is a string.
EDJE_EXTERNAL_PARAM_TYPE_BOOL	Parameter value is boolean.
EDJE_EXTERNAL_PARAM_TYPE_CHOICE	Parameter value is one of a set of predefined string choices.
EDJE_EXTERNAL_PARAM_TYPE_MAX	Sentinel value to indicate last enum field during iteration

Function Documentation

const char* edje_external_param_type_str ( Edje_External_Param_Type type )

Converts type identifier to string nicer representation.

This may be used to debug or other informational purposes.

Parameters:

type	the identifier to convert.

Returns:: the string with the string representation, or "(unknown)".
