gtkTextBufferCreateMark {RGtk2} | R Documentation

## gtkTextBufferCreateMark

### Description

Creates a mark at position `where`. If `mark.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

    gtkTextBufferCreateMark(object, mark.name = NULL, where, left.gravity = FALSE)

### Arguments

``object`` | a `GtkTextBuffer`
``mark.name`` | name for mark, or `NULL`. [ allow-none ]
``where`` | location to place mark
``left.gravity`` | whether the mark has left gravity

### Details

The caller of this function does not own a reference to the returned `GtkTextMark`, so you can ignore the return value if you like.

Emits the "mark-set" signal as notification of the mark's initial placement.

### Value

[`GtkTextMark`] the new `GtkTextMark` object
