Description
Pango is the text layout system used by GDK and GTK+. The functions and types in this section are used to obtain clip regions for PangoLayouts, and to get PangoContexts that can be used with GDK.
Creating a PangoLayout object is the first step in rendering text,
and requires getting a handle to a PangoContext. For GTK+ programs,
you’ll usually want to use gtk_widget_get_pango_context()
, or
gtk_widget_create_pango_layout()
, rather than using the lowlevel
gdk_pango_context_get_for_screen()
. Once you have a PangoLayout, you
can set the text and attributes of it with Pango functions like
pango_layout_set_text()
and get its size with pango_layout_get_size()
.
(Note that Pango uses a fixed point system internally, so converting
between Pango units and pixels using PANGO_SCALE
or the PANGO_PIXELS()
macro.)
Rendering a Pango layout is done most simply with pango_cairo_show_layout()
;
you can also draw pieces of the layout with pango_cairo_show_layout_line()
.

Functions
gdk_pango_layout_get_clip_region ()
cairo_region_t * gdk_pango_layout_get_clip_region (PangoLayout *layout
,gint x_origin
,gint y_origin
,const gint *index_ranges
,gint n_ranges
);
Obtains a clip region which contains the areas where the given ranges
of text would be drawn. x_origin
and y_origin
are the top left point
to center the layout. index_ranges
should contain
ranges of bytes in the layout’s text.
Note that the regions returned correspond to logical extents of the text ranges, not ink extents. So the drawn layout may in fact touch areas out of the clip region. The clip region is mainly useful for highlightling parts of text, such as when text is selected.
Parameters
layout |
||
x_origin |
X pixel where you intend to draw the layout with this clip |
|
y_origin |
Y pixel where you intend to draw the layout with this clip |
|
index_ranges |
array of byte indexes into the layout, where even members of array are start indexes and odd elements are end indexes |
|
n_ranges |
number of ranges in |
gdk_pango_layout_line_get_clip_region ()
cairo_region_t * gdk_pango_layout_line_get_clip_region (PangoLayoutLine *line
,gint x_origin
,gint y_origin
,const gint *index_ranges
,gint n_ranges
);
Obtains a clip region which contains the areas where the given
ranges of text would be drawn. x_origin
and y_origin
are the top left
position of the layout. index_ranges
should contain ranges of bytes in the layout’s text. The clip
region will include space to the left or right of the line (to the
layout bounding box) if you have indexes above or below the indexes
contained inside the line. This is to draw the selection all the way
to the side of the layout. However, the clip region is in line coordinates,
not layout coordinates.
Note that the regions returned correspond to logical extents of the text ranges, not ink extents. So the drawn line may in fact touch areas out of the clip region. The clip region is mainly useful for highlightling parts of text, such as when text is selected.
Parameters
line |
||
x_origin |
X pixel where you intend to draw the layout line with this clip |
|
y_origin |
baseline pixel where you intend to draw the layout line with this clip |
|
index_ranges |
array of byte indexes into the layout, where even members of array are start indexes and odd elements are end indexes. |
[array] |
n_ranges |
number of ranges in |
gdk_pango_context_get ()
PangoContext *
gdk_pango_context_get (void
);
Creates a PangoContext for the default GDK screen.
The context must be freed when you’re finished with it.
When using GTK+, normally you should use gtk_widget_get_pango_context()
instead of this function, to get the appropriate context for
the widget you intend to render text onto.
The newly created context will have the default font options (see
cairo_font_options_t) for the default screen; if these options
change it will not be updated. Using gtk_widget_get_pango_context()
is more convenient if you want to keep a context around and track
changes to the screen’s font rendering settings.
gdk_pango_context_get_for_screen ()
PangoContext *
gdk_pango_context_get_for_screen (GdkScreen *screen
);
Creates a PangoContext for screen
.
The context must be freed when you’re finished with it.

instead of this function, to get the appropriate context for
