Space center is a multi line view, add “\n” in you input string and a new line is being added

good luck!

I would use a spaceCenter object to manage input and change it there

from mojo.UI import OpenSpaceCenter

# open a space center or get the current one
spaceCenter = OpenSpaceCenter(CurrentFont())

# get the input as a list
print spaceCenter.get()
# get the input as raw string (same as you see in the edit text view)
print spaceCenter.getRaw()

# set the input as raw string
spaceCenter.setRaw("hello\\nworld")

oke, you want to use a MultiLineView, I misunderstood :)

a small example:

from mojo.UI import MultiLineView

from vanilla import *

inputText = """Hello
world"""

class LineController(object):
    
    def __init__(self):
        
        self.w = Window((400, 400), minSize=(200, 200))
        
        self.w.lineView = MultiLineView((0, 0, -0, -0))
        
        font = CurrentFont()
        charMap = font.getCharacterMapping()

        glyphs = []
        for char in inputText:
            if char == "\n":
                glyph = self.w.lineView.createNewLineGlyph()
            else:
                uni = ord(char)
                glyphName = charMap.get(uni)
                if glyphName:
                    glyphName = glyphName[0]
                    glyph = font[glyphName]
            glyphs.append(glyph)
        
        self.w.lineView.set(glyphs)
        self.w.open()

LineController()

see what the getDisplayStates() returns :)

from mojo.UI import MultiLineView

view = MultiLineView((0, 0, 0, 0))
print view.getDisplayStates()

{
    'Inverse': False, 
    'xHeight Cut': False, 
    'Show Kerning': True, 
    'Left to Right': True, 
    'Show Metrics': False, 
    'Show Space Matrix': True, 
    'Upside Down': False, 
    'Right to Left': False, 
    'Stroke': False, 
    'Beam': False, 
    'Water Fall': False, 
    'Multi Line': True, 
    'Single Line': False, 
    'Show Control glyphs': False, 
    'Fill': True
}

good luck

I see

bug will be solved in the next update

good luck
