## Description

## Functions

### gtk_text_tag_new ()

    GtkTextTag *
    gtk_text_tag_new (const gchar *name);

Creates a GtkTextTag. Configure the tag using object arguments, i.e. using `g_object_set()`.

#### Parameters

name | tag name, or `NULL`. | [allow-none]

#### Returns

a new GtkTextTag

### gtk_text_tag_get_priority ()

    gint
    gtk_text_tag_get_priority (GtkTextTag *tag);

Get the tag priority.

#### Parameters

tag | a GtkTextTag |

#### Returns

The tag's priority.

### gtk_text_tag_set_priority ()

    void
    gtk_text_tag_set_priority (GtkTextTag *tag,
                               gint priority);

Sets the priority of a GtkTextTag. Valid priorities are start at 0 and go to one less than `gtk_text_tag_table_get_size()`. Each tag in a table has a unique priority; setting the priority of one tag shifts the priorities of all the other tags in the table to maintain a unique priority for each tag. Higher priority tags "win" if two tags both set the same text attribute. When adding a tag to a tag table, it will be assigned the highest priority in the table by default; so normally the precedence of a set of tags is the order in which they were added to the table, or created with `gtk_text_buffer_create_tag()`, which adds the tag to the buffer's table automatically.

#### Parameters

tag | a GtkTextTag |
priority | the new priority |

### gtk_text_tag_event ()

    gboolean
    gtk_text_tag_event (GtkTextTag *tag,
                        GObject *event_object,
                        GdkEvent *event,
                        const GtkTextIter *iter);

Emits the "event" signal on the GtkTextTag.

#### Parameters

tag | a GtkTextTag |
event_object | object that received the event, such as a widget |
event | the event |
iter | location where the event was received |

#### Returns

result of signal emission (whether the event was handled)

### gtk_text_attributes_new ()

    GtkTextAttributes *
    gtk_text_attributes_new (void);

Creates a GtkTextAttributes, which describes a set of properties on some text.

#### Returns

a new GtkTextAttributes

### gtk_text_attributes_copy ()

    GtkTextAttributes *

Copies the values from `src` to `dest` so that `dest` has the same values as `src` . Frees existing values in `dest` .

#### Parameters

src | a GtkTextAttributes |
dest | another GtkTextAttributes |

### gtk_text_attributes_unref ()

    void
    gtk_text_attributes_unref (GtkTextAttributes *values);

Decrements the reference count on `values` , freeing the structure if the reference count reaches 0.

#### Parameters

values | a GtkTextAttributes |

### gtk_text_attributes_ref ()

    GtkTextAttributes *
    gtk_text_attributes_ref (GtkTextAttributes *values);

Increments the reference count on `values` .
