NAME
FcPatternBuild, FcPatternVaBuild, FcPatternVapBuild - Create patterns
from arguments
SYNOPSIS
#include <fontconfig.h>
FcPattern * FcPatternBuild (FcPattern *orig, ...);
FcPattern * FcPatternVaBuild (FcPattern *orig, va_list va);
void FcPatternVapBuild (FcPattern *result, FcPattern *orig, va_list
va);
DESCRIPTION
Builds a pattern using a list of objects, types and values. Each value
to be entered in the pattern is specified with three arguments:
1. Object name, a string describing the property to be added.
2. Object type, one of the FcType enumerated values
3. Value, not an FcValue, but the raw type as passed to any of the
FcPatternAdd<type> functions. Must match the type of the second
argument.
The argument list is terminated by a null object name, no object type
nor value need be passed for this. The values are added to `pattern',
if `pattern' is null, a new pattern is created. In either case, the
pattern is returned. Example
pattern = FcPatternBuild (0, FC_FAMILY, FcTypeString, "Times", (char *) 0);
FcPatternVaBuild is used when the arguments are already in the form of
a varargs value. FcPatternVapBuild is a macro version of FcPat-
ternVaBuild which returns its result directly in the result variable.
