### Method

# Gtk Text set_visibility

#### Declaration [src]

    void
    gtk_text_set_visibility (
      GtkText* self,
      gboolean visible
    )

#### Description [src]

Sets whether the contents of the `GtkText` are visible or not.

When visibility is set to `FALSE`, characters are displayed as the invisible char, and will also appear that way when the text in the widget is copied to the clipboard.

By default, GTK picks the best invisible character available in the current font, but it can be changed with `gtk_text_set_invisible_char()`.

Note that you probably want to set `GtkText:input-purpose` to `GTK_INPUT_PURPOSE_PASSWORD` or `GTK_INPUT_PURPOSE_PIN` to inform input methods about the purpose of this self, in addition to setting visibility to `FALSE`.

Sets property | `Gtk.Text:visibility`

#### Parameters

`visible`

  Type: `gboolean`

  `TRUE` if the contents of the `GtkText` are displayed as plaintext.
