## Description

A StThemeNode represents the CSS style information (the set of CSS properties) for one node in a tree of themed objects. In typical usage, it represents the style information for a single ClutterActor. A StThemeNode is immutable: attributes such as the CSS classes for the node are passed in at construction. If the attributes of the node or any parent node change, the node should be discarded and a new node created. StThemeNode has generic accessors to look up properties by name and specific accessors for standard CSS properties that add caching and handling of various details of the CSS specification. StThemeNode also has convenience functions to help in implementing a ClutterActor with borders and padding.

Copy cached painting state from `other` to `node`. This function can be used to optimize redrawing cached background images when the style on an element changess in a way that doesn't affect background drawing. This function must only be called if st_theme_node_paint_equal (node, other) returns `TRUE`.

`node` : | a StThemeNode

Compare two StThemeNodes. Two nodes which compare equal will match the same CSS rules and have the same style properties. However, two nodes that have ended up with identical style properties do not necessarily compare equal. In detail, `node_a` and `node_b` are considered equal iff

- they share the same StTheme and StThemeContext

- they have the same parent

- they have the same element type

- their id, class, pseudo-class and inline-style match

Generically looks up a property containing a single length value. When specific getters (like `st_theme_node_get_border_width()`) exist, they should be used instead. They are cached, so more efficient, and have handling for shortcut properties and other details of CSS.

Gets the box used to paint the actor, including the area occupied by properties which paint outside the actor's assigned allocation. When painting `node` to an offscreen buffer, this function can be used to determine the necessary size of the buffer.

Generically looks up a property containing a set of shadow values. When specific getters (like `st_theme_node_get_box_shadow()`) exist, they should be used instead. They are cached, so more efficient, and have handling for shortcut properties and other details of CSS.

Like `st_theme_get_length()`, this does not print a warning if the property is not found; it just returns `NULL`

See also `st_theme_node_lookup_shadow()`, which provides more options.

`node` : | a StThemeNode

`inherit` : | if `TRUE`, if a value is not found for the property on the node, then it will be looked up on the parent node, and then on the parent's parent, and so forth. Note that if the property has a value of 'inherit' it will be inherited even if `FALSE` is passed in for `inherit`; this only affects the default behavior for inheritance.
`value` : | location to store the value that was determined. If the property is not found, the value in this location will not be changed. [out]
Returns : | `TRUE` if the property was found in the properties for this theme node (or in the properties of parent nodes when inheriting.)

### st_theme_node_lookup_length ()

    gboolean            st_theme_node_lookup_length         (StThemeNode *node,
                                                             const char *property_name,
                                                             gboolean inherit,
                                                             gdouble *length);

Generically looks up a property containing a single length value. When specific getters (like `st_theme_node_get_border_width()`) exist, they should be used instead. They are cached, so more efficient, and have handling for shortcut properties and other details of CSS.

See also `st_theme_node_get_length()`, which provides a simpler API.

`node` : | a StThemeNode
`property_name` : | The name of the length property
`inherit` : | if `TRUE`, if a value is not found for the property on the node, then it will be looked up on the parent node, and then on the parent's parent, and so forth. Note that if the property has a value of 'inherit' it will be inherited even if `FALSE` is passed in for `inherit`; this only affects the default behavior for inheritance.
`length` : | location to store the length that was determined. If the property is not found, the value in this location will not be changed. The returned length is resolved to pixels. [out]
Returns : | `TRUE` if the property was found in the properties for this theme node (or in the properties of parent nodes when inheriting.)

### st_theme_node_lookup_shadow ()

    gboolean            st_theme_node_lookup_shadow         (StThemeNode *node,
                                                             const char *property_name,
                                                             gboolean inherit,
                                                             StShadow **shadow);

If the property is not found, the value in the shadow variable will not be changed.

Generically looks up a property containing a set of shadow values. When specific getters (like `st_theme_node_get_box_shadow()`) exist, they should be used instead. They are cached, so more efficient, and have handling for shortcut properties and other details of CSS.

See also `st_theme_node_get_shadow()`, which provides a simpler API.

`node` : | a StThemeNode
`property_name` : | The name of the shadow property
`inherit` : | if `TRUE`, if a value is not found for the property on the node, then it will be looked up on the parent node, and then on the parent's parent, and so forth. Note that if the property has a value of 'inherit' it will be inherited even if `FALSE` is passed in for `inherit`; this only affects the default behavior for inheritance.
`shadow` : | location to store the shadow. [out]
Returns : | `TRUE` if the property was found in the properties for this theme node (or in the properties of parent nodes when inheriting.)

### st_theme_node_new ()

    StThemeNode *       st_theme_node_new                   (StThemeContext *context,
                                                             StThemeNode *parent_node,
                                                             StTheme *theme,
                                                             GType element_type,
                                                             const char *element_id,
                                                             const char *element_class,
                                                             const char *pseudo_class,
                                                             const char *inline_style);

Creates a new StThemeNode. Once created, a node is immutable. Of any of the attributes of the node (like the `element_class`) change the node and its child nodes must be destroyed and recreated.

`context` : | the context representing global state for this themed tree
`parent_node` : | the parent node of this node. [allow-none]
`theme` : | a theme (stylesheet set) that overrides the theme inherited from the parent node. [allow-none]
`element_type` : | the type of the GObject represented by this node in the tree (corresponding to an element if we were theming an XML document. `G_TYPE_NONE` means this style was created for the stage actor and matches a selector element name of 'stage'.
`element_id` : | the ID to match CSS rules against. [allow-none]
`element_class` : | a whitespace-separated list of classes to match CSS rules against. [allow-none]
`pseudo_class` : | a whitespace-separated list of pseudo-classes (like 'hover' or 'visited') to match CSS rules against. [allow-none]
Returns : | the theme node. [transfer full]

### st_theme_node_paint ()

    void                st_theme_node_paint                 (StThemeNode *node,
                                                             const ClutterActorBox *box,
                                                             guint8 paint_opacity);

### st_theme_node_paint_equal ()

    gboolean            st_theme_node_paint_equal           (StThemeNode *node,
                                                             StThemeNode *other);

Check if `st_theme_node_paint()` will paint identically for `node` as it does for `other`. Note that in some cases this function may return `TRUE` even if there is no visible difference in the painting.

`node` : | a StThemeNode
`other` : | a different StThemeNode
Returns : | `TRUE` if the two theme nodes paint identically. `FALSE` if the two nodes potentially paint differently.
