A couple improvements to centered and right-aligned text edits:
- Fix text selection in centered and right aligned text edits
(ironically, this broke in #8076)
- Fix cursor movement in centered and right aligned text edits
(horizontal cursor position will be retained on vertical movement)
- Multiline text edit exceeding available width if there are atoms
- Added atoms & alignment options to text edit demo
- Improve how vertical_align and horizontal_align are applied
- Textedit atom is grow now, removing the need for the extra seperate
grow atom
- This allows us to apply the `align` on the text edit atom instead of
the whole AtomLayout
- Fixes https://github.com/emilk/egui/pull/8022
- Fixes https://github.com/emilk/egui/issues/7999
* Related to #56 (Improve text — tracking issue)
## Summary
This PR integrates [harfrust](https://crates.io/crates/harfrust) (a
pure-Rust port of HarfBuzz) into epaint's text layout pipeline,
replacing the character-by-character glyph positioning with proper
OpenType text shaping.
### What this enables
- **GPOS kerning**: most modern fonts only ship kerning in GPOS tables
(not the legacy `kern` table). Pairs like "AV", "VA", "AT" are now
properly tightened.
- **GSUB substitutions**: ligatures (fi, fl), contextual alternates, and
other OpenType features.
- **Combining marks**: diacritics (e.g. ɔ̃) are positioned via anchor
tables instead of being rendered as standalone replacement glyphs.
### Before/After
#### Kerning, etc.

/>
### Architecture
The shaping integrates into the existing pipeline without changing the
public API:
1. **`Font::segment_into_runs`** — segments text into contiguous runs by
font face (grapheme-cluster aware, never splits combining sequences)
2. **`FontFace::shape_text`** — calls harfrust to shape each run,
returning glyph IDs + positioned advances/offsets
3. **`layout_shaped_run`** — emits `Glyph` structs from the shaping
output, with NOTDEF fallback to other font faces for missing glyphs
4. **Buffer recycling** — `FontsImpl` pools a `harfrust::UnicodeBuffer`
to avoid per-layout allocations
### Disclaimer
I'm far from being a good Rust programmer. Claude Code did most of the
heavy lifting here. I did my best and used my limited knowledge to avoid
making too many mistakes. If this PR isn't up to quality standards,
please don't hesitate to close it.
## Test plan
- [x] `cargo test -p epaint` — all 18 text tests pass, including 6 new
ones
- [x] `cargo clippy -p epaint --all-features` — clean
- [x] `cargo fmt` — clean
- [ ] Snapshot tests need regeneration (expected: shaping changes glyph
positions)
- New tests added:
- `test_gpos_kerning` — verifies GPOS kerning tightens "AV", "VA", "AT"
pairs
- `test_combining_diacritics` — combining tilde doesn't add extra width
- `test_shaping_basic_latin` — sanity check for Latin text
- `test_shaping_empty_string` — empty input doesn't panic
- `test_shaping_multiple_newlines` — newline splitting works correctly
- `test_shaping_mixed_font_fallback` — Latin + emoji in same string

Added the ability to rotate rectangles and ellipses. Similar to the
existing text implementation

This PR have two commits:
* **First commit** - introduction of tests and their canonization image.
Expected behaviour is that `horizontal_wrapped_multiline_row_height`
would match `horizontal_wrapped_multiline_row_height_reference`, but it
doesn't. There is a bug in `horizontal_wrapped` that breaks line height
after using `text_edit_multiline`.
* **Second commit** - fix. You can see that
`horizontal_wrapped_multiline_row_height` now looks like
`horizontal_wrapped_multiline_row_height_reference` (although it's not a
perfect match, upd: found, this is because of this issue:
https://github.com/emilk/egui/issues/4921).
I have used LLM to help me with this PR (codex + claude code).
BTW, I'm using horizontal_wrapped with end_row instead of vertical +
horizontal alternation, because I automatically generate my UI through
some complex interactions between elements in my code, and it's can be
that my `horizontal` starts in one function, and ends in another.
Something like `begin_horizontal`/`end_horizontal`/`get_current_layout`
would be very handy, related to
https://github.com/emilk/egui/issues/1004.
Also, I would like indent to be supported in `horizontal_wrapped`, or
also, to have `indent_start`/`indent_end`. This is why I used
`monospace("| ")` in my example, it simulates my use-case.

This is a fix/improvement that makes all kinds of alignments work in
`TextEdit` when a custom `LayoutJob` with halign is used.
I used the simplest approach possible to avoid unwanted bugs as I wasn't
sure what's safe to change, but there's potentially better ways to
achieve this. In particular, I'm not sure I fully understand the
rationale behind aligning rows in a `Galley` based on the latter's
leftmost border, considering the size is what's ultimately used in
widgets (in `TextEdit` at least).
Regardless, here's a demo of this PR:

If turned on (default in debug builds), if the exact same `Rect` exist
in two subsequent frames but with different `Id`s, a warning is logged
an a red rect is flashed on the screen.
- fix for https://github.com/rerun-io/reality/pull/1075
The galleys row size was calculated by looking at the last glyphs pos_x,
which got changed to be rounded to integers when we added subpixel
binning. This introduced a subtle bug which caused the width of galleys
to be slightly off.
This PR fixes this by looking at the actual cursor position instead,
which is not rounded.
Also added a test to ensure this is correct. Previously, for the second
and last line, the `x` was too close to the `0`.

* Part of https://github.com/emilk/egui/issues/5605
This changes the default style of egui.
The problem with "expanding" widgets is that they now want to paint
outside their own bounds, which then requires all parent UIs to have
proper margins.
It also means hovered things are no longer properly aligned with every
other widget.

I'll probably come back to this and clean it up a bit. This PR
reimplements ab_glyph's functionality on top of Skrifa, a somewhat
lower-level font API that's being used in Chrome now.
Skrifa doesn't perform rasterization itself, so I'm using
[vello_cpu](https://github.com/linebender/vello) from the Linebender
project for rasterization. It's still in its early days, but I believe
it's already quite fast. It also supports color and gradient fills, so
color emoji support will be easier.
Skrifa also supports font hinting, which should make text look a bit
nicer / less blurry.
Here's the current ab_glyph rendering:
<img width="1592" height="1068" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/2385b66e-23f8-4c6e-b8c2-ea90e0eea4e4"
/>
Here's Skrifa *without* hinting--it looks almost identical, but there
are some subpixel differences, probably due to rasterizer behavior:
<img width="1592" height="1068" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/a815f3e9-65ac-4940-bc00-571177bef53d"
/>
Here's Skrifa *with* hinting:
<img width="1592" height="1068" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/d6cc0669-3537-4377-bba9-ed5ef09664db"
/>
Hinting does make the horizontal strokes look a bit bolder, which makes
me wonder once again about increasing the font weight from "light" to
"regular".

This fixes calls to `ui.response().interact(Sense::click())` being
flakey. Since egui checks widget interactions at the beginning of the
frame, based on the responses from last frame, we need to ensure that we
always call `create_widget` on `interact` calls, otherwise there can be
a feedback loop where the `Sense` egui acts on flips back and forth
between frames.
Without the fix in `interact`, both the asserts in the new test fail.
Here is a video where I experienced the bug, showing the sense switching
every frame. Every other click would fail to be detected.
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/6be7ca0e-b50f-4d30-bf87-bbb80c319f3b
Also note, usually it's better to use `UiBuilder::sense()` to give a Ui
some sense, but sometimes you don't have the flexibility, e.g. in a `Ui`
callback from some code external to your project.
Changed it to use labeled_by to avoid kittest finding the label when
searching for the ComboBox and also set the value so a screen reader
will know what's selected.
* closes https://github.com/emilk/egui/issues/5674
This changes egui to create an AccessKit node for each `Ui`. I'm not
sure if this alone will directly improve accessibility, but it should
make it easier to create the correct parent / child relations (e.g.
grouping menus as children of menu buttons).
Instead of having a global stack of parent ids, they are now passed via
a parent_id field in `UiBuilder`.
If having all these `GenericContainer` nodes somehow is bad for
accessibility, the PR could also be changed to only create nodes if
there is actually some accessibility info with it (the relevant is
currently commented-out in the PR). But I think screen readers should
just ignore these nodes, so it should be fine? We could also use this as
motivation to git red of some unnecessary wrapped `Ui`s, e.g.
CentralPanel creates 3 Uis when 2 should be enough (the initial Ui and a
Frame, maybe we could even only show the `Frame` if we can give it an
UiBuilder and somehow show the Frame with `Ui::new`).
Here is a screenshot from the accessibility inspector
(https://github.com/emilk/egui/pull/7368) with this PR:

That PR changed the tooltip to preserve the wrapping, which made the
tooltip kind of useless. With this PR the wrapping is reset for the
tooltip.
This adds a new mode, `UPDATE_SNAPSHOTS=force`, which will lower the
threshold to zero, overwriting every image that is not _exactly_ the
same.
Most comparisons has a threshold because different GPUs render slightly
differently. However, setting that threshold accurately can be hard.
Sometimes a test will pass locally, but fail on CI. In those cases you
want to force an update of the failing test. You can use
`UPDATE_SNAPSHOTS=force` for that.
And sometimes a small change _should_ update all images, but the change
is so tiny that it falls under the threshold. Still, you want to make a
point of showing that these images have changes. You can use
`UPDATE_SNAPSHOTS=force` for that.
This adds a custom Node struct with proper support for egui types
(`Key`, `Modifiers`, `egui::Event`, `Rect`) instead of needing to use
the kittest / accesskit types.
I also changed the `click` function to do a proper mouse move / mouse
down instead of the accesskit click. Also added `accesskit_click` to
trigger the accesskit event. This resulted in some changed snapshots,
since the elements are now hovered.
Also renamed `press_key` to `key_press` for consistency with
`key_down/key_up`.
Also removed the Deref to the AccessKit Node, to make it clearer when to
expect egui and when to expect accesskit types.

Today each widget does its own custom layout, which has some drawbacks:
- not very flexible
- you can add an `Image` to `Button` but it will always be shown on the
left side
- you can't add a `Image` to a e.g. a `SelectableLabel`
- a lot of duplicated code
This PR introduces `Atoms` and `AtomLayout` which abstracts over "widget
content" and layout within widgets, so it'd be possible to add images /
text / custom rendering (for e.g. the checkbox) to any widget.
A simple custom button implementation is now as easy as this:
```rs
pub struct ALButton<'a> {
al: AtomicLayout<'a>,
}
impl<'a> ALButton<'a> {
pub fn new(content: impl IntoAtomics) -> Self {
Self { al: content.into_atomics() }
}
}
impl<'a> Widget for ALButton<'a> {
fn ui(mut self, ui: &mut Ui) -> Response {
let response = ui.ctx().read_response(ui.next_auto_id());
let visuals = response.map_or(&ui.style().visuals.widgets.inactive, |response| {
ui.style().interact(&response)
});
self.al.frame = self
.al
.frame
.inner_margin(ui.style().spacing.button_padding)
.fill(visuals.bg_fill)
.stroke(visuals.bg_stroke)
.corner_radius(visuals.corner_radius);
self.al.show(ui)
}
}
```
The initial implementation only does very basic layout, just enough to
be able to implement most current egui widgets, so:
- only horizontal layout
- everything is centered
- a single item may grow/shrink based on the available space
- everything can be contained in a Frame
There is a trait `IntoAtoms` that conveniently allows you to construct
`Atoms` from a tuple
```
ui.button((Image::new("image.png"), "Click me!"))
```
to get a button with image and text.
This PR reimplements three egui widgets based on the new AtomLayout:
- Button
- matches the old button pixel-by-pixel
- Button with image is now [properly
aligned](https://github.com/emilk/egui/pull/5830/files#diff-962ce2c68ab50724b01c6b64c683c4067edd9b79fcdcb39a6071021e33ebe772)
in justified layouts
- selected button style now matches SelecatbleLabel look
- For some reason the DragValue text seems shifted by a pixel almost
everywhere, but I think it's more centered now, yay?
- Checkbox
- basically pixel-perfect but apparently the check mesh is very slightly
different so I had to update the snapshot
- somehow needs a bit more space in some snapshot tests?
- RadioButton
- pixel-perfect
- somehow needs a bit more space in some snapshot tests?
I plan on updating TextEdit based on AtomLayout in a separate PR (so
you could use it to add a icon within the textedit frame).
