const char* evas_load_error_str ( Evas_Load_Error error )

Converts the given Evas image load error code into a string describing it in english.

Parameters:

error the error code, a value in ::Evas_Load_Error.

Returns:: Always returns a valid string. If the given error is not supported, "Unknown error" is returned.

Mostly evas_object_image_file_set() would be the function setting that error value afterwards, but also evas_object_image_load(), evas_object_image_save(), evas_object_image_data_get(), evas_object_image_data_convert(), evas_object_image_pixels_import() and evas_object_image_is_inside(). This function is meant to be used in conjunction with evas_object_image_load_error_get(), as in:

Example code:

   d.img1 = evas_object_image_add(d.evas);
   evas_object_image_file_set(d.img1, valid_path, NULL);
   err = evas_object_image_load_error_get(d.img1);
   if (err != EVAS_LOAD_ERROR_NONE)
     {
        fprintf(stderr, "could not load image '%s'. error string is \"%s\"\n",
                valid_path, evas_load_error_str(err));
     }
   else
     {
        fprintf(stdout,
                "loaded image '%s' with succes! error string is \"%s\"\n",
                valid_path, evas_load_error_str(err));

        evas_object_move(d.img1, 3, 3);
        evas_object_image_fill_set(d.img1, 0, 0, WIDTH / 2, HEIGHT / 2);
        evas_object_resize(d.img1, WIDTH / 2, HEIGHT / 2);
        evas_object_show(d.img1);

        evas_object_focus_set(d.bg, EINA_TRUE);
        evas_object_event_callback_add(
          d.bg, EVAS_CALLBACK_KEY_DOWN, _on_keydown, NULL);
     }

   /* this is a border around the image above, here just to emphasize
    * its geometry */
   d.border = evas_object_image_filled_add(d.evas);
   evas_object_image_file_set(d.border, border_img_path, NULL);
   evas_object_image_border_set(d.border, 3, 3, 3, 3);
   evas_object_image_border_center_fill_set(d.border, EVAS_BORDER_FILL_NONE);

   evas_object_move(d.border, 0, 0);
   evas_object_resize(d.border, (WIDTH / 2) + 6, (HEIGHT / 2) + 6);
   evas_object_show(d.border);

   /* image loading will fail for this one -- unless one cheats and
    * puts a valid image on that path */
   d.img2 = evas_object_image_add(d.evas);
   evas_object_image_file_set(d.img2, bogus_path, NULL);
   err = evas_object_image_load_error_get(d.img2);
   if (err != EVAS_LOAD_ERROR_NONE)
     {
        fprintf(stderr, "could not load image '%s': error string is \"%s\"\n",
                bogus_path, evas_load_error_str(err));
     }
   else
     {
        evas_object_move(d.img2, WIDTH / 2, HEIGHT / 2);
        evas_object_image_fill_set(d.img2, 0, 0, WIDTH / 2, HEIGHT / 2);
        evas_object_resize(d.img2, WIDTH / 2, HEIGHT / 2);
        evas_object_show(d.img2);
     }

   puts(commands);
   ecore_main_loop_begin();

Here, being valid_path the path to a valid image and bogus_path a path to a file which does not exist, the two outputs of evas_load_error_str() would be (if no other errors occur): "No error on load" and "File (or file path) does not exist", respectively. See the full example.

int evas_string_char_len_get ( const char * str )

Get the length in characters of the string.

Parameters:

str	The string to get the length of.

Returns:: The length in characters (not bytes)

Since :: 2.3.1

int evas_string_char_next_get	(	const char *	str,
		int	pos,
		int *	decoded
	)

Gets the next character in the string

Given the UTF-8 string in str, and starting byte position in pos, this function will place in decoded the decoded code point at pos and return the byte index for the next character in the string.

The only boundary check done is that pos must be >= 0. Other than that, no checks are performed, so passing an index value that's not within the length of the string will result in undefined behavior.

Parameters:

str	The UTF-8 string
pos	The byte index where to start
decoded	Address where to store the decoded code point. Optional.

Returns:: The byte index of the next character

Since :: 2.3.1

int evas_string_char_prev_get	(	const char *	str,
		int	pos,
		int *	decoded
	)

Gets the previous character in the string

Given the UTF-8 string in str, and starting byte position in pos, this function will place in decoded the decoded code point at pos and return the byte index for the previous character in the string.

The only boundary check done is that pos must be >= 1. Other than that, no checks are performed, so passing an index value that's not within the length of the string will result in undefined behavior.

Parameters:

str	The UTF-8 string
pos	The byte index where to start
decoded	Address where to store the decoded code point. Optional.

Returns:: The byte index of the previous character

Since :: 2.3.1
