arkui::fit · arkui::line · arkui::format · arkui::clipboard

One name cut to fit: through the middle for a name, at the end for a heading.

arkui::format
`clock(261.0)`	`4:21`
`clock(3725.0)`	`1:02:05`
`spell(3_725_000)`	`1 hr 2 min`
`plural(1, "place")`	`place`
`plural(12, "place")`	`places`
`span(1685, 1750)`	`1685–1750`
`fit::middle(LONG, 24)`	`A name far t…ddle (2026)`

arkui::fit

Cutting text to a width: from the end or through the middle, measured in pixels, and the characters the typeface cannot draw spelt in ones it can.

Cut::{End, Middle}
tail(s, chars)
middle(s, chars)
within(body, px, cut, measure)
drawable(s)

Rules

A name loses its middle, a heading its end.

rust/arkui/src/fit.rs

arkui::line

One line of text cut, at layout, to the width it is given; gives_way lays it out after the rest of its row.

Line::new(body, size, cut, colour)
Line::gives_way()

Rules

A row lays out in order, so a line first in it would take everything; giving way puts it last.

rust/arkui/src/line.rs

arkui::format

Words for numbers: a clock, a count spelt out, a plural, a span of time, a day.

clock(secs)
spell(ms)
plural(n, word)
span(born, died)
day(ms, now)

Rules

A length past an hour is h:mm:ss.

rust/arkui/src/format.rs

arkui::clipboard

Copy, cut and paste in every text box, in a browser too: the window's view handed the browser's clipboard, and a paste put in where the keys are once the browser hands it over.

view(view): the whole window's, once
pastes() -> Subscription<()>

Rules

A paste is asked for and arrives later; it goes into whichever box has the keys, at its cursor, as typed text does.
On the desktop it is iced's own clipboard, untouched.
