gtkTextMarkNew {RGtk2} | R Documentation

## gtkTextMarkNew

### Description

Creates a text mark. Add it to a buffer using `gtkTextBufferAddMark`. If `name` is `NULL`, the mark is anonymous; otherwise, the mark can be retrieved by name using `gtkTextBufferGetMark`. If a mark has left gravity, and text is inserted at the mark's current location, the mark will be moved to the left of the newly-inserted text. If the mark has right gravity (`left.gravity` = `FALSE`), the mark will end up on the right of newly-inserted text. The standard left-to-right cursor is a mark with right gravity (when you type, the cursor stays on the right side of the text you're typing).

### Usage

    gtkTextMarkNew(name, left.gravity)

### Arguments

``name`` | mark name or `NULL`. [ allow-none ]
``left.gravity`` | whether the mark should have left gravity
