### Method

# Clutter TextBuffer set_text

#### Declaration [src]

    void
    clutter_text_buffer_set_text (
      ClutterTextBuffer* buffer,
      const gchar* chars,
      gint n_chars
    )

#### Description [src]

Note that `n_chars` is in characters, not in bytes.

#### Parameters

  The new text.

  The data is owned by the caller of the function.
  The value is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string.

`n_chars`

  Type: `gint`

  The number of characters in `text`, or -1
