A `PangoGlyph` represents a single glyph in the output form of a string.

The `PangoGlyphUnit` type is used to store dimensions within Pango. Dimensions are stored in 1/PANGO_SCALE of a device unit. (A device unit might be a pixel for screen display, or a point on a printer.) PANGO_SCALE is currently 1024, and may change in the future (unlikely though), but you should not depend on its exact value. The PANGO_PIXELS() macro can be used to convert from glyph units into device units with correct rounding.

A `PangoLayoutRun` represents a single run within a `PangoLayoutLine`. It is simply an alternate name for [struct@Pango.GlyphItem]. See the [struct@Pango.GlyphItem] docs for details on the fields.

Whether the segment should be shifted to center around the baseline. This is mainly used in vertical writing directions.

Whether this run holds ellipsized text.

Whether to add a hyphen at the end of the run during shaping.

Extracts the *ascent* from a `PangoRectangle` representing glyph extents. The ascent is the distance from the baseline to the highest point of the character. This is positive if the glyph ascends above the baseline.

a `PangoRectangle`

Value for @start_index in `PangoAttribute` that indicates the beginning of the text.

Value for @end_index in `PangoAttribute` that indicates the end of the text.

`PangoAlignment` describes how to align the lines of a `PangoLayout` within the available space. If the `PangoLayout` is set to justify using [method@Pango.Layout.set_justify], this only affects partial lines. See [method@Pango.Layout.set_auto_dir] for how text direction affects the interpretation of `PangoAlignment` values. Put all available space on the right Center the line within the available space Put all available space on the left The `PangoAnalysis` structure stores information about the properties of a segment of text.

unused, reserved unused, reserved the font for this segment. the bidirectional level for this segment. the glyph orientation for this segment (A `PangoGravity`). boolean flags for this segment (Since: 1.16). the detected script for this segment (A `PangoScript`) (Since: 1.18). the detected language for this segment. extra attributes for this segment.

The `PangoAttrClass` structure stores the type and operations for a particular type of attribute. The functions in this structure should not be called directly. Instead, one should use the wrapper functions provided for `PangoAttribute`.

The `PangoAttrFontFeatures` structure is used to represent OpenType font features as an attribute.

the common portion of the attribute the features, as a string in CSS syntax Create a new font features tag attribute. You can use this attribute to select OpenType font features like small-caps, alternative glyphs, ligatures, etc. for fonts that support them.

a string with OpenType font features, with the syntax of the [CSS font-feature-settings property](https://www.w3.org/TR/css-fonts-4/#font-rend-desc)

The `PangoAttrInt` structure is used to represent attributes with an integer or enumeration value.

the common portion of the attribute the value of the attribute

A `PangoAttrIterator` is used to iterate through a `PangoAttrList`. A new iterator is created with [method@Pango.AttrList.get_iterator]. Once the iterator is created, it can be advanced through the style changes in the text using [method@Pango.AttrIterator.next]. At each style change, the range of the current style segment and the attributes currently in effect can be queried.

Copy a `PangoAttrIterator`.

a `PangoAttrIterator`

Destroy a `PangoAttrIterator` and free all associated memory.

a `PangoAttrIterator`

Find the current attribute of a particular type at the iterator location. When multiple attributes of the same type overlap, the attribute whose range starts closest to the current location is used.

a `PangoAttrIterator`

Get the font and other attributes at the current iterator position.

a `PangoAttrIterator`

a `PangoFontDescription` to fill in with the current values. The family name in this structure will be set using [method@Pango.FontDescription.set_family_static] using values from an attribute in the `PangoAttrList` associated with the iterator, so if you plan to keep it around, you must call: `pango_font_description_set_family (desc, pango_font_description_get_family (desc))`. location to store language tag for item, or %NULL if none is found. location in which to store a list of non-font attributes at the the current position; only the highest priority value of each attribute will be added to this list. In order to free this value, you must call [method@Pango.Attribute.destroy] on each member.

Advance the iterator until the next change of style.

%FALSE if the iterator is at the end of the list, otherwise %TRUE

a `PangoAttrIterator`

Get the range of the current segment. Note that the stored return values are signed, not unsigned like the values in `PangoAttribute`. To deal with this API oversight, stored return values that wouldn't fit into a signed integer are clamped to %G_MAXINT.

A `PangoAttrList` represents a list of attributes that apply to a section of text. The attributes in a `PangoAttrList` are, in general, allowed to overlap in an arbitrary fashion. However, if the attributes are manipulated only through [method@Pango.AttrList.change], the overlap between properties will meet stricter criteria. Since the `PangoAttrList` structure is stored as a linear list, it is not suitable for storing attributes for large amounts of text. In general, you should not use a single `PangoAttrList` for more than one paragraph of text.

Create a new empty attribute list with a reference count of one.

the newly allocated `PangoAttrList`, which should be freed with [method@Pango.AttrList.unref]

Insert the given attribute into the `PangoAttrList`. It will replace any attributes of the same type on that segment and be merged with any adjoining attributes that are identical. This function is slower than [method@Pango.AttrList.insert] for creating an attribute list in order (potentially much slower for large lists). However, [method@Pango.AttrList.insert] is not suitable for continually changing a set of attributes since it never removes or combines existing attributes.

a `PangoAttrList`

Copy @list and return an identical new list.

the newly allocated `PangoAttrList`, with a reference count of one, which should be freed with [method@Pango.AttrList.unref]. Returns %NULL if @list was %NULL.

Increase the reference count of the given attribute list by one.

The attribute list passed in

a `PangoAttrList`

This function opens up a hole in @list, fills it in with attributes from the left, and then merges @other on top of the hole. This operation is equivalent to stretching every attribute that applies at position @pos in @list by an amount @len, and then calling [method@Pango.AttrList.change] with a copy of each attribute in @other in sequence (offset in position by @pos, and limited in length to @len). This operation proves useful for, for instance, inserting a pre-edit string in the middle of an edit buffer. For backwards compatibility, the function behaves differently when @len is 0. In this case, the attributes from @other are not imited to @len, and are just overlayed on top of @list. This mode is useful for merging two lists of attributes together.

a `PangoAttrList`

another `PangoAttrList` the position in @list at which to insert @other the length of the spliced segment. (Note that this must be specified since the attributes in @other may only be present at some subsection of this range)

Serializes a `PangoAttrList` to a string. No guarantees are made about the format of the string, it may change between Pango versions. The intended use of this function is testing and debugging. The format is not meant as a permanent storage format.

a newly allocated string

a `PangoAttrList`

Decrease the reference count of the given attribute list by one. If the result is zero, free the attribute list and the attributes it contains.

a `PangoAttrList`

Update indices of attributes in @list for a change in the text they refer to. The change that this function applies is removing @remove bytes at position @pos and inserting @add bytes instead. Attributes that fall entirely in the (@pos, @pos + @remove) range are removed. Attributes that start or end inside the (@pos, @pos + @remove) range are shortened to reflect the removal. Attributes start and end positions are updated if they are behind @pos + @remove.

a `PangoAttrList`

the position of the change the number of removed bytes the number of added bytes

Deserializes a `PangoAttrList` from a string. This is the counterpart to [method@Pango.AttrList.to_string]. See that functions for details about the format.

The `PangoAttrShape` structure is used to represent attributes which impose shape restrictions.

the common portion of the attribute the ink rectangle to restrict to the logical rectangle to restrict to user data set (see [func@Pango.AttrShape.new_with_data]) copy function for the user data destroy function for the user data Create a new shape attribute. A shape is used to impose a particular ink and logical rectangle on the result of shaping a particular glyph. This might be used, for instance, for embedding a picture or a widget inside a `PangoLayout`.

The `PangoAttrSize` structure is used to represent attributes which set font size.

the common portion of the attribute size of font, in units of 1/%PANGO_SCALE of a point (for %PANGO_ATTR_SIZE) or of a device unit (for %PANGO_ATTR_ABSOLUTE_SIZE) whether the font size is in device units or points. This field is only present for compatibility with Pango-1.8.0 (%PANGO_ATTR_ABSOLUTE_SIZE was added in 1.8.1); and always will be %FALSE for %PANGO_ATTR_SIZE and %TRUE for %PANGO_ATTR_ABSOLUTE_SIZE. Create a new font-size attribute in fractional points.

The `PangoAttrString` structure is used to represent attributes with a string value.

the common portion of the attribute the string which is the value of the attribute

The `PangoAttrType` distinguishes between different types of attributes. Along with the predefined values, it is possible to allocate additional values for custom attributes using [func@AttrType.register]. The predefined values are given below. The type of structure used to store the attribute is listed in parentheses after the description. does not happen language ([struct@Pango.AttrLanguage]) font family name list ([struct@Pango.AttrString]) font slant style ([struct@Pango.AttrInt]) font weight ([struct@Pango.AttrInt]) font variant (normal or small caps) ([struct@Pango.AttrInt]) font stretch ([struct@Pango.AttrInt]) font size in points scaled by %PANGO_SCALE ([struct@Pango.AttrInt]) font description ([struct@Pango.AttrFontDesc]) foreground color ([struct@Pango.AttrColor]) background color ([struct@Pango.AttrColor]) whether the text has an underline ([struct@Pango.AttrInt]) whether the text is struck-through ([struct@Pango.AttrInt]) baseline displacement ([struct@Pango.AttrInt]) shape ([struct@Pango.AttrShape]) font size scale factor ([struct@Pango.AttrFloat]) whether fallback is enabled ([struct@Pango.AttrInt]) letter spacing ([struct@PangoAttrInt]) underline color ([struct@Pango.AttrColor]) strikethrough color ([struct@Pango.AttrColor]) font size in pixels scaled by %PANGO_SCALE ([struct@Pango.AttrInt]) base text gravity ([struct@Pango.AttrInt]) gravity hint ([struct@Pango.AttrInt]) OpenType font features ([struct@Pango.AttrFontFeatures]).

The `PangoAttribute` structure represents the common portions of all attributes. Particular types of attributes include this structure as their initial portion. The common portion of the attribute holds the range to which the value in the type-specific part of the attribute applies and should be initialized using [method@Pango.Attribute.init]. By default, an attribute will have an all-inclusive range of [0,%G_MAXUINT].

(Taken from the CSS Color [specification](https://www.w3.org/TR/css-color-4/#named-colors), or it can be a hexadecimal value in the form `#rgb`, `#rrggbb`, `#rrrgggbbb` or `#rrrrggggbbbb` where `r`, `g` and `b` are hex digits of the red, green, and blue components of the color, respectively. (White in the four forms is `#fff`, `#ffffff`, `#fffffffff` and `#ffffffffffff`.) Additionally, parse strings of the form `#rgba`, `#rrggbbaa`, `#rrrrggggbbbbaaaa`, if @alpha is not %NULL, and set @alpha to the value specified by the hex digits for `a`. If no alpha component is found in @spec, @alpha is set to 0xffff (for a solid color).

A `PangoContext` stores global information used to control the itemization process. The information stored by `PangoContext` includes the fontmap used to look up fonts, and default values such as the default language, default gravity, or default font. To obtain a `PangoContext`, use [method@Pango.FontMap.create_context].

Creates a new `PangoContext` initialized to default values. This function is not particularly useful as it should always be followed by a [method@Pango.Context.set_font_map] call, and the function [method@Pango.FontMap.create_context] does these two steps together and hence users are recommended to use that. If you are using Pango as part of a higher-level system, that system may have it's own way of create a `PangoContext`. For instance, the GTK toolkit has, among others, `gtk_widget_get_pango_context()`. Use those instead.

the newly allocated `PangoContext`, which should be freed with g_object_unref().

Forces a change in the context, which will cause any `PangoLayout` using this context to re-layout. This function is only useful when implementing a new backend for Pango, something applications won't do. Backends should call this function if they have attached extra data to the context and such data is changed.

a `PangoContext`

Get overall metric information for a particular font description. Since the metrics may be substantially different for different scripts, a language tag can be provided to indicate that the metrics should be retrieved that correspond to the script(s) used by that language. The `PangoFontDescription` is interpreted in the same way as by [func@itemize], and the family name may be a comma separated list of names. If characters from multiple of these families would be used to render the string, then the returned fonts would be a composite of the metrics for the fonts loaded for the individual families.

If no language tag is set on the context, metrics for the default language (as determined by [func@Pango.Language.get_default] will be returned.

Returns whether font rendering with this context should round glyph positions and widths.

a `PangoContext`

Returns the current serial number of @context. The serial number is initialized to an small number larger than zero when a new context is created and is increased whenever the context is changed using any of the setter functions, or the `PangoFontMap` it uses to find fonts has changed. The serial may wrap, but will never have the value 0. Since it can wrap, never compare it with "less than", always use "not equals". This can be used to automatically detect changes to a `PangoContext`, and is only useful when implementing objects that need update when their `PangoContext` changes, like `PangoLayout`.

Sets the base direction for the context. The base direction is used in applying the Unicode bidirectional algorithm; if the @direction is %PANGO_DIRECTION_LTR or %PANGO_DIRECTION_RTL, then the value will be used as the paragraph direction in the Unicode bidirectional algorithm. A value of %PANGO_DIRECTION_WEAK_LTR or %PANGO_DIRECTION_WEAK_RTL is used only for paragraphs that do not contain any strong characters themselves.

Sets the gravity hint for the context. The gravity hint is used in laying vertical text out, and is only relevant if gravity of the context as returned by [method@Pango.Context.get_gravity] is set to %PANGO_GRAVITY_EAST or %PANGO_GRAVITY_WEST.

a `PangoContext`

Sets the global language tag for the context. The default language for the locale of the running process can be found using [func@Pango.Language.get_default].

a `PangoContext`

the new language tag.

Sets the transformation matrix that will be applied when rendering with this context. Note that reported metrics are in the user space coordinates before the application of the matrix, not device-space coordinates after the application of the matrix. So, they don't scale with the matrix, though they may change slightly for different matrices, depending on how the text is fit to the pixel grid.

a `PangoContext`

a `PangoMatrix`, or %NULL to unset any existing matrix. (No matrix set is the same as setting the identity matrix.)

Sets whether font rendering with this context should round glyph positions and widths to integral positions, in device units. This is useful when the renderer can't handle subpixel positioning of glyphs. The default value is to round glyph positions, to remain compatible with previous Pango behavior.

A `PangoCoverage` structure is a map from Unicode characters to [enum@Pango.CoverageLevel] values. It is often necessary in Pango to determine if a particular font can represent a particular character, and also how well it can represent that character. The `PangoCoverage` is a data structure that is used to represent that information. It is an opaque structure with no public fields. Create a new `PangoCoverage`

`PangoCoverageLevel` is used to indicate how well a font can represent a particular Unicode character for a particular script. Since 1.44, only %PANGO_COVERAGE_NONE and %PANGO_COVERAGE_EXACT will be returned. The character is not representable with the font. The character is represented in a way that may be comprehensible but is not the correct graphical form. For instance, a Hangul character represented as a a sequence of Jamos, or a Latin transliteration of a Cyrillic word. The character is represented as basically the correct graphical form, but with a stylistic variant inappropriate for the current script. The character is represented as the correct graphical form.

Extracts the *descent* from a `PangoRectangle` representing glyph extents. The descent is the distance from the baseline to the lowest point of the character. This is positive if the glyph descends below the baseline.

a `PangoRectangle`

`PangoDirection` represents a direction in the Unicode bidirectional algorithm. Not every value in this enumeration makes sense for every usage of `PangoDirection`; for example, the return value of [func@unichar_direction] and [func@find_base_dir] cannot be `PANGO_DIRECTION_WEAK_LTR` or `PANGO_DIRECTION_WEAK_RTL`, since every character is either neutral or has a strong direction; on the other hand `PANGO_DIRECTION_NEUTRAL` doesn't make sense to pass to [func@itemize_with_base_dir]. The `PANGO_DIRECTION_TTB_LTR`, `PANGO_DIRECTION_TTB_RTL` values come from an earlier interpretation of this enumeration as the writing direction of a block of text and are no longer used. See `PangoGravity` for how vertical text is handled in Pango. If you are interested in text direction, you should really use fribidi directly. `PangoDirection` is only retained because it is used in some public apis. A strong left-to-right direction A strong right-to-left direction Deprecated value; treated the same as `PANGO_DIRECTION_RTL`. Deprecated value; treated the same as `PANGO_DIRECTION_LTR` A weak left-to-right direction A weak right-to-left direction No direction specified `PangoEllipsizeMode` describes what sort of ellipsization should be applied to text. In the ellipsization process characters are removed from the text in order to make it fit to a given width and replaced with an ellipsis. No ellipsization Omit characters at the start of the text Omit characters in the middle of the text Omit characters at the end of the text

A `PangoFont` is used to represent a font in a rendering-system-independent manner.

Obtain the OpenType features that are provided by the font. These are passed to the rendering system, together with features that have been explicitly set via attributes. Note that this does not include OpenType features which the rendering system enables by default.

a `PangoFont`

Array to features in the length of @features the number of used items in @features

Gets the font map for which the font was created. Note that the font maintains a *weak* reference to the font map, so if all references to font map are dropped, the font map will be finalized even if there are fonts created with the font map that are still alive. In that case this function will return %NULL. It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that the font map is kept alive. In most uses this is not an issue as a `PangoContext` holds a reference to the font map.

the `PangoFontMap` for the font

a `PangoFont`

Gets the logical and ink extents of a glyph within a font. The coordinate system for each rectangle has its origin at the base line and horizontal origin of the character with increasing coordinates extending to the right and down. The macros PANGO_ASCENT(), PANGO_DESCENT(), PANGO_LBEARING(), and PANGO_RBEARING() can be used to convert from the extents rectangle to more traditional font metrics. The units of the rectangles are in 1/PANGO_SCALE of a device unit. If @font is %NULL, this function gracefully sets some sane values in the output variables and returns.

a `PangoFont`

the glyph index rectangle used to store the extents of the glyph as drawn rectangle used to store the logical extents of the glyph

Gets overall metric information for a font. Since the metrics may be substantially different for different scripts, a language tag can be provided to indicate that the metrics should be retrieved that correspond to the script(s) used by that language. If @font is %NULL, this function gracefully sets some sane values in the output variables and returns.

the `hb_font_t` object backing the font

a `PangoFont`

Returns the languages that are supported by @font. If the font backend does not provide this information, %NULL is returned. For the fontconfig backend, this corresponds to the FC_LANG member of the FcPattern. The returned array is only valid as long as the font and its fontmap are valid.

Serializes the @font in a way that can be uniquely identified. There are no guarantees about the format of the output across different versions of Pango. The intended use of this function is testing, benchmarking and debugging. The format is not meant as a permanent storage format.

A `PangoFontDescription` describes a font in an implementation-independent manner. `PangoFontDescription` structures are used both to list what fonts are available on the system and also for specifying the characteristics of a font to load.

Creates a new font description structure with all fields unset.

the newly allocated `PangoFontDescription`, which should be freed using [method@Pango.FontDescription.free].

Determines if the style attributes of @new_match are a closer match for @desc than those of @old_match are, or if @old_match is %NULL, determines if @new_match is a match at all. Approximate matching is done for weight and style; other style attributes must match exactly. Style attributes are all attributes other than family and size-related attributes. Approximate matching for style considers %PANGO_STYLE_OBLIQUE and %PANGO_STYLE_ITALIC as matches, but not as good a match as when the styles are equal. Note that @old_match must match @desc.

%TRUE if @new_match is a better match

a `PangoFontDescription`

a `PangoFontDescription`, may be %NULL

Make a copy of a `PangoFontDescription`, but don't duplicate allocated fields. This is like [method@Pango.FontDescription.copy], but only a shallow copy is made of the family name and other allocated fields. The result can only be used until @desc is modified or freed. This is meant to be used when the copy is only needed temporarily.

the newly allocated `PangoFontDescription`, which should be freed with [method@Pango.FontDescription.free], or %NULL if @desc was %NULL.

a `PangoFontDescription`, may be %NULL

Compares two font descriptions for equality. Two font descriptions are considered equal if the fonts they describe are provably identical. This means that their masks do not have to match, as long as other fields are all the same. (Two font descriptions may result in identical fonts being loaded, but still compare %FALSE.)

%TRUE if the two font descriptions are identical, %FALSE otherwise.

a `PangoFontDescription`

another `PangoFontDescription`

Frees a font description.

a `PangoFontDescription`, may be %NULL

Gets the family name field of a font description. See [method@Pango.FontDescription.set_family].

a `PangoFontDescription`

Gets the size field of a font description. See [method@Pango.FontDescription.set_size].

the size field for the font description in points or device units. You must call [method@Pango.FontDescription.get_size_is_absolute] to find out which is the case. Returns 0 if the size field has not previously been set or it has been set to 0 explicitly. Use [method@Pango.FontDescription.get_set_fields] to find out if the field was explicitly set or not.

a `PangoFontDescription`

Determines whether the size of the font is in points (not absolute) or device units (absolute). See [method@Pango.FontDescription.set_size] and [method@Pango.FontDescription.set_absolute_size].

whether the size for the font description is in points or device units. Use [method@Pango.FontDescription.get_set_fields] to find out if the size field of the font description was explicitly set or not.

a `PangoFontDescription`

Gets the stretch field of a font description. See [method@Pango.FontDescription.set_stretch].

the stretch field for the font description. Use [method@Pango.FontDescription.get_set_fields] to find out if the field was explicitly set or not.

a `PangoFontDescription`.

Gets the style field of a `PangoFontDescription`. See [method@Pango.FontDescription.set_style].

the style field for the font description. Use [method@Pango.FontDescription.get_set_fields] to find out if the field was explicitly set or not.

a `PangoFontDescription`

Gets the variant field of a `PangoFontDescription`. See [method@Pango.FontDescription.set_variant].

a `PangoFontDescription`

Gets the weight field of a font description. See [method@Pango.FontDescription.set_weight].

the weight field for the font description. Use [method@Pango.FontDescription.get_set_fields] to find out if the field was explicitly set or not.

a `PangoFontDescription`

Computes a hash of a `PangoFontDescription` structure. This is suitable to be used, for example, as an argument to g_hash_table_new(). The hash value is independent of @desc->mask.

the hash value.

a `PangoFontDescription`

Merges the fields that are set in @desc_to_merge into the fields in @desc. If @replace_existing is %FALSE, only fields in @desc that are not already set are affected. If %TRUE, then fields that are already set will be replaced as well. If @desc_to_merge is %NULL, this function performs nothing.

a `PangoFontDescription`

the `PangoFontDescription` to merge from, or %NULL if %TRUE, replace fields in @desc with the corresponding values from @desc_to_merge, even if they are already exist.

Merges the fields that are set in @desc_to_merge into the fields in @desc, without copying allocated fields. This is like [method@Pango.FontDescription.merge], but only a shallow copy is made of the family name and other allocated fields. @desc can only be used until @desc_to_merge is modified or freed. This is meant to be used when the merged font description is only needed temporarily.

a `PangoFontDescription`

the `PangoFontDescription` to merge from if %TRUE, replace fields in @desc with the corresponding values from @desc_to_merge, even if they are already exist.

Sets the size field of a font description, in device units. This is mutually exclusive with [method@Pango.FontDescription.set_size] which sets the font size in points.

a `PangoFontDescription`

the new size, in Pango units. There are %PANGO_SCALE Pango units in one device unit. For an output backend where a device unit is a pixel, a @size value of 10 * PANGO_SCALE gives a 10 pixel font.

Sets the family name field of a font description. The family name represents a family of related font styles, and will resolve to a particular `PangoFontFamily`. In some uses of `PangoFontDescription`, it is also possible to use a comma separated list of family names for this field.

a `PangoFontDescription`.

a string representing the family name.

Sets the family name field of a font description, without copying the string. This is like [method@Pango.FontDescription.set_family], except that no copy of @family is made. The caller must make sure that the string passed in stays around until @desc has been freed or the name is set again. This function can be used if @family is a static string such as a C string literal, or if @desc is only needed temporarily.

a `PangoFontDescription`

a string representing the family name

Sets the gravity field of a font description. The gravity field specifies how the glyphs should be rotated. If @gravity is %PANGO_GRAVITY_AUTO, this actually unsets the gravity mask on the font description. This function is seldom useful to the user. Gravity should normally be set on a `PangoContext`.

a `PangoFontDescription`

the gravity for the font description.

Sets the size field of a font description in fractional points. This is mutually exclusive with [method@Pango.FontDescription.set_absolute_size].

a `PangoFontDescription`

the size of the font in points, scaled by %PANGO_SCALE. (That is, a @size value of 10 * PANGO_SCALE is a 10 point font. The conversion factor between points and device units depends on system configuration and the output device. For screen display, a logical DPI of 96 is common, in which case a 10 point font corresponds to a 10 * (96 / 72) = 13.3 pixel font. Use [method@Pango.FontDescription.set_absolute_size] if you need a particular size in device units.

Sets the stretch field of a font description. The [enum@Pango.Stretch] field specifies how narrow or wide the font should be.

a `PangoFontDescription`

the stretch for the font description

Sets the style field of a `PangoFontDescription`. The [enum@Pango.Style] enumeration describes whether the font is slanted and the manner in which it is slanted; it can be either %PANGO_STYLE_NORMAL, %PANGO_STYLE_ITALIC, or %PANGO_STYLE_OBLIQUE. Most fonts will either have a italic style or an oblique style, but not both, and font matching in Pango will match italic specifications with oblique fonts and vice-versa if an exact match is not found.

a `PangoFontDescription`

the style for the font description

Sets the variant field of a font description. The [enum@Pango.Variant] can either be %PANGO_VARIANT_NORMAL or %PANGO_VARIANT_SMALL_CAPS.

a `PangoFontDescription`

the variant type for the font description.

Sets the variations field of a font description. OpenType font variations allow to select a font instance by specifying values for a number of axes, such as width or weight. The format of the variations string is AXIS1=VALUE,AXIS2=VALUE... with each AXIS a 4 character tag that identifies a font axis, and each VALUE a floating point number. Unknown axes are ignored, and values are clamped to their allowed range. Pango does not currently have a way to find supported axes of a font. Both harfbuzz and freetype have API for this. See for example [hb_ot_var_get_axis_infos](https://harfbuzz.github.io/harfbuzz-hb-ot-var.html#hb-ot-var-get-axis-infos).

a `PangoFontDescription`.

a string representing the variations

Sets the variations field of a font description. This is like [method@Pango.FontDescription.set_variations], except that no copy of @variations is made. The caller must make sure that the string passed in stays around until @desc has been freed or the name is set again. This function can be used if @variations is a static string such as a C string literal, or if @desc is only needed temporarily.

a `PangoFontDescription`

a string representing the variations

Sets the weight field of a font description. The weight field specifies how bold or light the font should be. In addition to the values of the [enum@Pango.Weight] enumeration, other intermediate numeric values are possible.

a `PangoFontDescription`

the weight for the font description.

Creates a filename representation of a font description. The filename is identical to the result from calling [method@Pango.FontDescription.to_string], but with underscores instead of characters that are untypical in filenames, and in lower case only.

a new string that must be freed with g_free().

a `PangoFontDescription`

Creates a string representation of a font description. See [func@Pango.FontDescription.from_string] for a description of the format of the string representation. The family list in the string description will only have a terminating comma if the last word of the list is a valid style option.

a new string that must be freed with g_free().

a `PangoFontDescription`

Unsets some of the fields in a `PangoFontDescription`. The unset fields will get back to their default values.

a `PangoFontDescription`

bitmask of fields in the @desc to unset.

Creates a new font description from a string representation. The string must have the form "\[FAMILY-LIST] \[STYLE-OPTIONS] \[SIZE] \[VARIATIONS]", where FAMILY-LIST is a comma-separated list of families optionally terminated by a comma, STYLE_OPTIONS is a whitespace-separated list of words where each word describes one of style, variant, weight, stretch, or gravity, and SIZE is a decimal number (size in points) or optionally followed by the unit modifier "px" for absolute size. VARIATIONS is a comma-separated list of font variation specifications of the form "\@axis=value" (the = sign is optional). The following words are understood as styles: "Normal", "Roman", "Oblique", "Italic". The following words are understood as variants: "Small-Caps", "All-Small-Caps", "Petite-Caps", "All-Petite-Caps", "Unicase", "Title-Caps". The following words are understood as weights: "Thin", "Ultra-Light", "Extra-Light", "Light", "Semi-Light", "Demi-Light", "Book", "Regular", "Medium", "Semi-Bold", "Demi-Bold", "Bold", "Ultra-Bold", "Extra-Bold", "Heavy", "Black", "Ultra-Black", "Extra-Black". The following words are understood as stretch values: "Ultra-Condensed", "Extra-Condensed", "Condensed", "Semi-Condensed", "Semi-Expanded", "Expanded", "Extra-Expanded", "Ultra-Expanded". The following words are understood as gravity values: "Not-Rotated", "South", "Upside-Down", "North", "Rotated-Left", "East", "Rotated-Right", "West". Any one of the options may be absent. If FAMILY-LIST is absent, then the family_name field of the resulting font description will be initialized to %NULL. If STYLE-OPTIONS is missing, then all style options will be set to the default values. If SIZE is missing, the size in the resulting font description will be set to 0. A typical example: "Cantarell Italic Light 15 \@wght=200"

a new `PangoFontDescription`.

string representation of a font description.

A `PangoFontFace` is used to represent a group of fonts with the same family, slant, weight, and width, but varying sizes.

Returns a font description that matches the face. The resulting font description will have the family, style, variant, weight and stretch of the face, but its size field will be unset.

Gets the `PangoFontFace` of @family with the given name.

the `PangoFontFace`, or %NULL if no face with the given name exists.

a `PangoFontFamily`

the name of a face. If the name is %NULL, the family's default face (fontconfig calls it "Regular") will be returned.

Gets the name of the family. The name is unique among all fonts for the font backend and can be used in a `PangoFontDescription` to specify that a face from this family is desired.

the name of the family. This string is owned by the family object and must not be modified or freed.

a `PangoFontFamily`

A monospace font is a font designed for text display where the the characters form a regular grid. For Western languages this would mean that the advance width of all characters are the same, but this categorization also includes Asian fonts which include double-width characters: characters that occupy two grid cells. g_unichar_iswide() returns a result that indicates whether a character is typically double-width in a monospace font. The best way to find out the grid-cell size is to call [method@Pango.FontMetrics.get_approximate_digit_width], since the results of [method@Pango.FontMetrics.get_approximate_char_width] may be affected by double-width characters.

%TRUE if the family is monospace.

a `PangoFontFamily`

A variable font is a font which has axes that can be modified to produce different faces. Such axes are also known as _variations_; see [method@Pango.FontDescription.set_variations] for more information.

%TRUE if the family is variable

a `PangoFontFamily`

Lists the different font faces that make up @family. The faces in a family share a common design, but differ in slant, weight, width and other aspects. Note that the returned faces are not in any particular order, and multiple faces may have the same name or characteristics. `PangoFontFamily` also implemented the [iface@Gio.ListModel] interface for enumerating faces.

A `PangoFontMap` represents the set of fonts available for a particular rendering system. This is a virtual object with implementations being specific to particular rendering systems.

Forces a change in the context, which will cause any `PangoContext` using this fontmap to change. This function is only useful when implementing a new backend for Pango, something applications won't do. Backends should call this function if they have attached extra data to the context and such data is changed.

a `PangoFontMap`

Gets a font family by name.

Returns the current serial number of @fontmap. The serial number is initialized to an small number larger than zero when a new fontmap is created and is increased whenever the fontmap is changed. It may wrap, but will never have the value 0. Since it can wrap, never compare it with "less than", always use "not equals". The fontmap can only be changed using backend-specific API, like changing fontmap resolution. This can be used to automatically detect changes to a `PangoFontMap`, like in `PangoContext`.

OpenType font variations are specified (Since: 1.42) A `PangoFontMetrics` structure holds the overall metric information for a font. The information in a `PangoFontMetrics` structure may be restricted to a script. The fields of this structure are private to implementations of a font backend. See the documentation of the corresponding getters for documentation of their meaning.

A `PangoFontset` is the result of resolving a `PangoFontDescription` against a particular `PangoContext`. It has operations for finding the component font for a particular Unicode character, and for finding a composite set of metrics for the entire fontset.

The `PangoGlyphGeometry` structure contains width and positioning information for a single glyph. Note that @width is not guaranteed to be the same as the glyph extents. Kerning and other positioning applied during shaping will affect both the @width and the @x_offset for the glyphs in the glyph string that results from shaping. The information in this struct is intended for rendering the glyphs, as follows: 1. Assume the current point is (x, y) 2. Render the current glyph at (x + x_offset, y + y_offset), 3. Advance the current point to (x + width, y) 4. Render the next glyph

A `PangoGlyphInfo` structure represents a single glyph with positioning information and visual attributes.

the glyph itself. the positional information about the glyph. the visual attributes of the glyph.

A `PangoGlyphItem` is a pair of a `PangoItem` and the glyphs resulting from shaping the items text. As an example of the usage of `PangoGlyphItem`, the results of shaping text with `PangoLayout` is a list of `PangoLayoutLine`, each of which contains a list of `PangoGlyphItem`.

corresponding `PangoItem` corresponding `PangoGlyphString` shift of the baseline, relative to the baseline of the containing line. Positive values shift upwards horizontal displacement to apply before the glyph item. Positive values shift right horizontal displacement to apply after th glyph item. Positive values shift right Splits a shaped item (`PangoGlyphItem`) into multiple items based on an attribute list. The idea is that if you have attributes that don't affect shaping, such as color or underline, to avoid affecting shaping, you filter them out ([method@Pango.AttrList.filter]), apply the shaping process and then reapply them to the result using this function. All attributes that start or end inside a cluster are applied to that cluster; for instance, if half of a cluster is underlined and the other-half strikethrough, then the cluster will end up with both underline and strikethrough attributes. In these cases, it may happen that @item->extra_attrs for some of the result items can have multiple attributes of the same type. This function takes ownership of @glyph_item; it will be reused as one of the elements in the list.

Given a `PangoGlyphItem` and the corresponding text, determine the width corresponding to each character. When multiple characters compose a single cluster, the width of the entire cluster is divided equally among the characters. See also [method@Pango.GlyphString.get_logical_widths].

a `PangoGlyphItem`

text that @glyph_item corresponds to (glyph_item->item->offset is an offset from the start of @text) an array whose length is the number of characters in glyph_item (equal to glyph_item->item->num_chars) to be filled in with the resulting character widths.

Adds spacing between the graphemes of @glyph_item to give the effect of typographic letter spacing.

a `PangoGlyphItem`

text that @glyph_item corresponds to (glyph_item->item->offset is an offset from the start of @text) logical attributes for the item (the first logical attribute refers to the position before the first character in the item) amount of letter spacing to add in Pango units. May be negative, though too large negative values will give ugly results.

Modifies @orig to cover only the text after @split_index, and returns a new item that covers the text before @split_index that used to be in @orig. You can think of @split_index as the length of the returned item. @split_index may not be 0, and it may not be greater than or equal to the length of @orig (that is, there must be at least one byte assigned to each item, you can't create a zero-length item). This function is similar in function to pango_item_split() (and uses it internally.)

a `PangoItem`

text to which positions in @orig apply byte index of position to split item, relative to the start of the item

A `PangoGlyphItemIter` is an iterator over the clusters in a `PangoGlyphItem`. The *forward direction* of the iterator is the logical direction of text. That is, with increasing @start_index and @start_char values. If @glyph_item is right-to-left (that is, if `glyph_item->item->analysis.level` is odd), then @start_glyph decreases as the iterator moves forward. Moreover, in right-to-left cases, @start_glyph is greater than @end_glyph. An iterator should be initialized using either pango_glyph_item_iter_init_start() or pango_glyph_item_iter_init_end(), for forward and backward iteration respectively, and walked over using any desired mixture of pango_glyph_item_iter_next_cluster() and pango_glyph_item_iter_prev_cluster(). A common idiom for doing a forward iteration over the clusters is: ``` PangoGlyphItemIter cluster_iter; gboolean have_cluster; for (have_cluster = pango_glyph_item_iter_init_start (&cluster_iter, glyph_item, text); have_cluster; have_cluster = pango_glyph_item_iter_next_cluster (&cluster_iter)) { ... } ``` Note that @text is the start of the text for layout, which is then indexed by `glyph_item->item->offset` to get to the text of @glyph_item. The @start_index and @end_index values can directly index into @text. The @start_glyph, @end_glyph, @start_char, and @end_char values however are zero-based for the @glyph_item. For each cluster, the item pointed at by the start variables is included in the cluster while the one pointed at by end variables is not. None of the members of a `PangoGlyphItemIter` should be modified manually.

Computes the logical width of the glyph string. This can also be computed using [method@Pango.GlyphString.extents]. However, since this only computes the width, it's much faster. This is in fact only a convenience function that computes the sum of @geometry.width for each glyph in the @glyphs.

Convert from x offset to character position. Character positions are computed by dividing up each cluster into equal portions.

A `PangoGlyphVisAttr` structure communicates information between the shaping and rendering phases. Currently, it contains cluster start and color information. More attributes may be added in the future. Clusters are stored in visual order, within the cluster, glyphs are always ordered in logical order, since visual order is meaningless; that is, in Arabic text, accent glyphs follow the glyphs for the base character.

`PangoGravity` represents the orientation of glyphs in a segment of text. This is useful when rendering vertical text layouts. In those situations, the layout is rotated using a non-identity [struct@Pango.Matrix], and then glyph orientation is controlled using `PangoGravity`. Not every value in this enumeration makes sense for every usage of `PangoGravity`; for example, %PANGO_GRAVITY_AUTO only can be passed to [method@Pango.Context.set_base_gravity] and can only be returned by [method@Pango.Context.get_base_gravity]. See also: [enum@Pango.GravityHint] Glyphs stand upright (default) <img align="right" valign="center" src="m-south.png"> Glyphs are rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise. <img align="right" valign="center" src="m-east.png"> Glyphs are upside-down. <img align="right" valign="cener" src="m-north.png"> Glyphs are rotated 90 degrees clockwise. <img align="right" valign="center" src="m-west.png"> Gravity is resolved from the context matrix Finds the gravity that best matches the rotation component in a `PangoMatrix`.

Returns the gravity to use in laying out a `PangoItem`. The gravity is determined based on the script, base gravity, and hint. If @base_gravity is %PANGO_GRAVITY_AUTO, it is first replaced with the preferred gravity of @script. To get the preferred gravity of a script, pass %PANGO_GRAVITY_AUTO and %PANGO_GRAVITY_HINT_STRONG in.

`PangoScript` to query base gravity of the paragraph orientation hint

Returns the gravity to use in laying out a single character or `PangoItem`. The gravity is determined based on the script, East Asian width, base gravity, and hint, This function is similar to [func@Pango.Gravity.get_for_script] except that this function makes a distinction between narrow/half-width and wide/full-width characters also. Wide/full-width characters always stand *upright*, that is, they always take the base gravity, whereas narrow/full-width characters are always rotated in vertical context. If @base_gravity is %PANGO_GRAVITY_AUTO, it is first replaced with the preferred gravity of @script.

Converts a `PangoGravity` value to its natural rotation in radians. Note that [method@Pango.Matrix.rotate] takes angle in degrees, not radians. So, to call [method@Pango.Matrix,rotate] with the output of this function you should multiply it by (180. / G_PI).

the rotation value corresponding to @gravity.

gravity to query, should not be %PANGO_GRAVITY_AUTO

`PangoGravityHint` defines how horizontal scripts should behave in a vertical context. That is, English excerpts in a vertical paragraph for example. See also [enum@Pango.Gravity] scripts will take their natural gravity based on the base gravity and the script. This is the default. always use the base gravity set, regardless of the script. for scripts not in their natural direction (eg. Latin in East gravity), choose per-script gravity such that every script respects the line progression. This means, Latin and Arabic will take opposite gravities and both flow top-to-bottom for example.

The `PangoItem` structure stores information about a segment of text. You typically obtain `PangoItems` by itemizing a piece of text with [func@itemize].

Add attributes to a `PangoItem`. The idea is that you have attributes that don't affect itemization, such as font features, so you filter them out using [method@Pango.AttrList.filter], itemize your text, then reapply the attributes to the resulting items using this function. The @iter should be positioned before the range of the item, and will be advanced past it. This function is meant to be called in a loop over the items resulting from itemization, while passing the iter to each call.

Modifies @orig to cover only the text after @split_index, and returns a new item that covers the text before @split_index that used to be in @orig. You can think of @split_index as the length of the returned item. @split_index may not be 0, and it may not be greater than or equal to the length of @orig (that is, there must be at least one byte assigned to each item, you can't create a zero-length item). @split_offset is the length of the first item in chars, and must be provided because the text used to generate the item isn't available, so `pango_item_split()` can't count the char length of the split items itself.

The `PangoLanguage` structure is used to represent a language. `PangoLanguage` pointers can be efficiently copied and compared with each other.

Get a string that is representative of the characters needed to render a particular language. The sample text may be a pangram, but is not necessarily. It is chosen to be demonstrative of normal text in the language, as well as exposing font feature requirements unique to the language. It is suitable for use as sample text in a font selection dialog. If @language is %NULL, the default language as found by [func@Pango.Language.get_default] is used. If Pango does not have a sample string for @language, the classic "The quick brown fox..." is returned. This can be detected by comparing the returned pointer value to that returned for (non-existent) language code "xx". That is, compare to: ``` pango_language_get_sample_string (pango_language_from_string ("xx")) ```

the sample string

a `PangoLanguage`

Determines the scripts used to to write @language. If nothing is known about the language tag @language, or if @language is %NULL, then %NULL is returned. The list of scripts returned starts with the script that the language uses most and continues to the one it uses least. The value @num_script points at will be set to the number of scripts in the returned array (or zero if %NULL is returned). Most languages use only one script for writing, but there are some that use two (Latin and Cyrillic for example), and a few use three (Japanese for example). Applications should not make any assumptions on the maximum number of scripts returned though, except that it is positive if the return value is not %NULL, and it is a small number. The [method@Pango.Language.includes_script] function uses this function internally. Note: while the return value is declared as `PangoScript`, the returned values are from the `GUnicodeScript` enumeration, which may have more values. Callers need to handle unknown values.

An array of `PangoScript` values, with the number of entries in the array stored in @num_scripts, or %NULL if Pango does not have any information about this particular language tag (also the case if @language is %NULL).

a `PangoLanguage`

location to return number of scripts

Determines if @script is one of the scripts used to write @language. The returned value is conservative; if nothing is known about the language tag @language, %TRUE will be returned, since, as far as Pango knows, @script might be used to write @language. This routine is used in Pango's itemization process when determining if a supplied language tag is relevant to a particular section of text. It probably is not useful for applications in most circumstances. This function uses [method@Pango.Language.get_scripts] internally.

%TRUE if @script is one of the scripts used to write @language or if nothing is known about @language (including the case that @language is %NULL), %FALSE otherwise.

a `PangoLanguage`

a `PangoScript`

Checks if a language tag matches one of the elements in a list of language ranges. A language tag is considered to match a range in the list if the range is '*', the range is exactly the tag, or the range is a prefix of the tag, and the character after it in the tag is '-'.

%TRUE if a match was found

a language tag (see [func@Pango.Language.from_string]), %NULL is allowed and matches nothing but '*'

a list of language ranges, separated by ';', ':', ',', or space characters. Each element must either be '*', or a RFC 3066 language range canonicalized as by [func@Pango.Language.from_string]

Gets the RFC-3066 format string representing the given language tag. Returns (transfer none): a string representing the language tag

a language tag.

Convert a language tag to a `PangoLanguage`. The language tag must be in a RFC-3066 format. `PangoLanguage` pointers can be efficiently copied (copy the pointer) and compared with other language tags (compare the pointer.) This function first canonicalizes the string by converting it to lowercase, mapping '_' to '-', and stripping all characters other than letters and '-'. Use [func@Pango.Language.get_default] if you want to get the `PangoLanguage` for the current locale of the process.

a `PangoLanguage`

a string representing a language tag

Returns the `PangoLanguage` for the current locale of the process. On Unix systems, this is the return value is derived from `setlocale (LC_CTYPE, NULL)`, and the user can affect this through the environment variables LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE or LANG (checked in that order). The locale string typically is in the form lang_COUNTRY, where lang is an ISO-639 language code, and COUNTRY is an ISO-3166 country code. For instance, sv_FI for Swedish as written in Finland or pt_BR for Portuguese as written in Brazil. On Windows, the C library does not use any such environment variables, and setting them won't affect the behavior of functions like ctime(). The user sets the locale through the Regional Options in the Control Panel. The C library (in the setlocale() function) does not use country and language codes, but country and language names spelled out in English. However, this function does check the above environment variables, and does return a Unix-style locale string based on either said environment variables or the thread's current locale. Your application should call `setlocale(LC_ALL, "")` for the user settings to take effect. GTK does this in its initialization functions automatically (by calling gtk_set_locale()). See the setlocale() manpage for more details. Note that the default language can change over the life of an application. Also note that this function will not do the right thing if you use per-thread locales with uselocale(). In that case, you should just call pango_language_from_string() yourself.

the default language as a `PangoLanguage`

Returns the list of languages that the user prefers. The list is specified by the `PANGO_LANGUAGE` or `LANGUAGE` environment variables, in order of preference. Note that this list does not necessarily include the language returned by [func@Pango.Language.get_default]. When choosing language-specific resources, such as the sample text returned by [method@Pango.Language.get_sample_string], you should first try the default language, followed by the languages returned by this function.

a %NULL-terminated array of `PangoLanguage`*

A `PangoLayout` structure represents an entire paragraph of text. While complete access to the layout capabilities of Pango is provided using the detailed interfaces for itemization and shaping, using that functionality directly involves writing a fairly large amount of code. `PangoLayout` provides a high-level driver for formatting entire paragraphs of text at once. This includes paragraph-level functionality such as line breaking, justification, alignment and ellipsization. A `PangoLayout` is initialized with a `PangoContext`, UTF-8 string and set of attributes for that string. Once that is done, the set of formatted lines can be extracted from the object, the layout can be rendered, and conversion between logical character positions within the layout's text, and the physical position of the resulting glyphs can be made. There are a number of parameters to adjust the formatting of a `PangoLayout`. The following image shows adjustable parameters (on the left) and font metrics (on the right): <picture> <source srcset="layout-dark.png" media="(prefers-color-scheme: dark)"> <img alt="Pango Layout Parameters" src="layout-light.png"> </picture> The following images demonstrate the effect of alignment and justification on the layout of text: | | | | --- | --- | | ![align=left](align-left.png) | ![align=left, justify](align-left-justify.png) | | ![align=center](align-center.png) | ![align=center, justify](align-center-justify.png) | | ![align=right](align-right.png) | ![align=right, justify](align-right-justify.png) | It is possible, as well, to ignore the 2-D setup, and simply treat the results of a `PangoLayout` as a list of lines.

Create a new `PangoLayout` object with attributes initialized to default values for a particular `PangoContext`.

the newly allocated `PangoLayout`

a `PangoContext`

Loads data previously created via [method@Pango.Layout.serialize]. For a discussion of the supported format, see that function. Note: to verify that the returned layout is identical to the one that was serialized, you can compare @bytes to the result of serializing the layout again.

a new `PangoLayout`

a `PangoContext` the bytes containing the data `PangoLayoutDeserializeFlags`

Forces recomputation of any state in the `PangoLayout` that might depend on the layout's context. This function should be called if you make changes to the context subsequent to creating the layout.

Given an index within a layout, determines the positions that of the strong and weak cursors if the insertion point is at that index. This is a variant of [method@Pango.Layout.get_cursor_pos] that applies font metric information about caret slope and offset to the positions it returns. <picture> <source srcset="caret-metrics-dark.png" media="(prefers-color-scheme: dark)"> <img alt="Caret metrics" src="caret-metrics-light.png"> </picture>

Given an index within a layout, determines the positions that of the strong and weak cursors if the insertion point is at that index. The position of each cursor is stored as a zero-width rectangle with the height of the run extents. <picture> <source srcset="cursor-positions-dark.png" media="(prefers-color-scheme: dark)"> <img alt="Cursor positions" src="cursor-positions-light.png"> </picture> The strong cursor location is the location where characters of the directionality equal to the base direction of the layout are inserted. The weak cursor location is the location where characters of the directionality opposite to the base direction of the layout are inserted. The following example shows text with both a strong and a weak cursor. <picture> <source srcset="split-cursor-dark.png" media="(prefers-color-scheme: dark)"> <img alt="Strong and weak cursors" src="split-cursor-light.png"> </picture> The strong cursor has a little arrow pointing to the right, the weak cursor to the left. Typing a 'c' in this situation will insert the character after the 'b', and typing another Hebrew character, like 'ג', will insert it at the end.

the current ellipsization mode for @layout

a `PangoLayout`

Computes the logical and ink extents of @layout. Logical extents are usually what you want for positioning things. Note that both extents may have non-zero x and y. You may want to use those to offset where you render the layout. Not doing that is a very typical bug that shows up as right-to-left layouts not being correctly positioned in a layout with a set width. The extents are given in layout coordinates and in Pango units; layout coordinates begin at the top left corner of the layout.

a `PangoLayout`

rectangle used to store the extents of the layout as drawn rectangle used to store the logical extents of the layout

Gets the font description for the layout, if any.

Retrieves an array of logical attributes for each character in the @layout.

a `PangoLayout`

location to store a pointer to an array of logical attributes. This value must be freed with g_free(). location to store the number of the attributes in the array. (The stored value will be one more than the total number of characters in the layout, since there need to be attributes corresponding to both the position before the first character and the position after the last character.)

Retrieves an array of logical attributes for each character in the @layout. This is a faster alternative to [method@Pango.Layout.get_log_attrs]. The returned array is part of @layout and must not be modified. Modifying the layout will invalidate the returned array. The number of attributes returned in @n_attrs will be one more than the total number of characters in the layout, since there need to be attributes corresponding to both the position before the first character and the position after the last character.

an array of logical attributes

a `PangoLayout`

Computes the logical and ink extents of @layout in device units. This function just calls [method@Pango.Layout.get_extents] followed by two [func@extents_to_pixels] calls, rounding @ink_rect and @logical_rect such that the rounded rectangles fully contain the unrounded one (that is, passes them as first argument to [func@Pango.extents_to_pixels]).

a `PangoLayout`

rectangle used to store the extents of the layout as drawn rectangle used to store the logical extents of the layout

Determines the logical width and height of a `PangoLayout` in device units. [method@Pango.Layout.get_size] returns the width and height scaled by %PANGO_SCALE. This is simply a convenience function around [method@Pango.Layout.get_pixel_extents].

a `PangoLayout`

location to store the logical width location to store the logical height

Returns the current serial number of @layout. The serial number is initialized to an small number larger than zero when a new layout is created and is increased whenever the layout is changed using any of the setter functions, or the `PangoContext` it uses has changed. The serial may wrap, but will never have the value 0. Since it can wrap, never compare it with "less than", always use "not equals". This can be used to automatically detect changes to a `PangoLayout`, and is useful for example to decide whether a layout needs redrawing. To force the serial to be increased, use [method@Pango.Layout.context_changed].

The current serial number of @layout.

a `PangoLayout`

Obtains whether @layout is in single paragraph mode. See [method@Pango.Layout.set_single_paragraph_mode].

%TRUE if the layout does not break paragraphs at paragraph separator characters, %FALSE otherwise

Gets the amount of spacing between the lines of the layout.

the spacing in Pango units

a `PangoLayout`

Gets the current `PangoTabArray` used by this layout. If no `PangoTabArray` has been set, then the default tabs are in use and %NULL is returned. Default tabs are every 8 spaces. The return value should be freed with [method@Pango.TabArray.free].

Counts the number of unknown glyphs in @layout. This function can be used to determine if there are any fonts available to render all characters in a certain string, or when used in combination with %PANGO_ATTR_FALLBACK, to check if a certain font supports all the characters in the string.

The number of unknown glyphs in @layout

a `PangoLayout`

Converts from byte @index_ within the @layout to line and X position. The X position is measured from the left edge of the line.

a `PangoLayout`

the byte index of a grapheme within the layout an integer indicating the edge of the grapheme to retrieve the position of. If > 0, the trailing edge of the grapheme, if 0, the leading of the grapheme location to store resulting line index. (which will between 0 and pango_layout_get_line_count(layout) - 1) location to store resulting position within line (%PANGO_SCALE units per device unit)

Converts from an index within a `PangoLayout` to the onscreen position corresponding to the grapheme at that index. The return value is represented as rectangle. Note that `pos->x` is always the leading edge of the grapheme and `pos->x + pos->width` the trailing edge of the grapheme. If the directionality of the grapheme is right-to-left, then `pos->width` will be negative.

a `PangoLayout`

byte index within @layout rectangle in which to store the position of the grapheme

Queries whether the layout had to ellipsize any paragraphs. This returns %TRUE if the ellipsization mode for @layout is not %PANGO_ELLIPSIZE_NONE, a positive width is set on @layout, and there are paragraphs exceeding that width that have to be ellipsized.

%TRUE if any paragraphs had to be ellipsized, %FALSE otherwise

a `PangoLayout`

Queries whether the layout had to wrap any paragraphs. This returns %TRUE if a positive width is set on @layout, ellipsization mode of @layout is set to %PANGO_ELLIPSIZE_NONE, and there are paragraphs exceeding the layout width that have to be wrapped.

%TRUE if any paragraphs had to be wrapped, %FALSE otherwise

a `PangoLayout`

Computes a new cursor position from an old position and a direction. If @direction is positive, then the new position will cause the strong or weak cursor to be displayed one position to right of where it was with the old cursor position. If @direction is negative, it will be moved to the left. In the presence of bidirectional text, the correspondence between logical and visual order will depend on the direction of the current run, and there may be jumps when the cursor is moved off of the end of a run. Motion here is in cursor positions, not in characters, so a single call to this function may move the cursor over multiple characters when multiple characters combine to form a single grapheme.

a `PangoLayout`

whether the moving cursor is the strong cursor or the weak cursor. The strong cursor is the cursor corresponding to text insertion in the base direction for the layout. the byte index of the current cursor position if 0, the cursor was at the leading edge of the grapheme indicated by @old_index, if > 0, the cursor was at the trailing edge. direction to move cursor. A negative value indicates motion to the left location to store the new cursor byte index. A value of -1 indicates that the cursor has been moved off the beginning of the layout. A value of %G_MAXINT indicates that the cursor has been moved off the end of the layout. number of characters to move forward from the location returned for @new_index to get the position where the cursor should be displayed. This allows distinguishing the position at the beginning of one line from the position at the end of the preceding line. @new_index is always on the line where the cursor should be displayed.

Serializes the @layout for later deserialization via [func@Pango.Layout.deserialize]. There are no guarantees about the format of the output across different versions of Pango and [func@Pango.Layout.deserialize] will reject data that it cannot parse. The intended use of this function is testing, benchmarking and debugging. The format is not meant as a permanent storage format.

a `GBytes` containing the serialized form of @layout

a `PangoLayout`

`PangoLayoutSerializeFlags`

Sets the alignment for the layout: how partial lines are positioned within the horizontal space available. The default alignment is %PANGO_ALIGN_LEFT.

a `PangoLayout`

the alignment

Sets the text attributes for a layout object. References @attrs, so the caller can unref its reference.

a `PangoLayout`

a `PangoAttrList`

Sets whether to calculate the base direction for the layout according to its contents. When this flag is on (the default), then paragraphs in @layout that begin with strong right-to-left characters (Arabic and Hebrew principally), will have right-to-left layout, paragraphs with letters from other scripts will have left-to-right layout. Paragraphs with only neutral characters get their direction from the surrounding paragraphs. When %FALSE, the choice between left-to-right and right-to-left layout is done according to the base direction of the layout's `PangoContext`. (See [method@Pango.Context.set_base_dir]). When the auto-computed direction of a paragraph differs from the base direction of the context, the interpretation of %PANGO_ALIGN_LEFT and %PANGO_ALIGN_RIGHT are swapped.

a `PangoLayout`

if %TRUE, compute the bidirectional base direction from the layout's contents

Sets the type of ellipsization being performed for @layout. Depending on the ellipsization mode @ellipsize text is removed from the start, middle, or end of text so they fit within the width and height of layout set with [method@Pango.Layout.set_width] and [method@Pango.Layout.set_height]. If the layout contains characters such as newlines that force it to be layed out in multiple paragraphs, then whether each paragraph is ellipsized separately or the entire layout is ellipsized as a whole depends on the set height of the layout. The default value is %PANGO_ELLIPSIZE_NONE. See [method@Pango.Layout.set_height] for details.

a `PangoLayout`

the new ellipsization mode for @layout

Sets the default font description for the layout. If no font description is set on the layout, the font description from the layout's context is used.

a `PangoLayout`

the new `PangoFontDescription` to unset the current font description

Sets the height to which the `PangoLayout` should be ellipsized at. There are two different behaviors, based on whether @height is positive or negative. If @height is positive, it will be the maximum height of the layout. Only lines would be shown that would fit, and if there is any text omitted, an ellipsis added. At least one line is included in each paragraph regardless of how small the height value is. A value of zero will render exactly one line for the entire layout. If @height is negative, it will be the (negative of) maximum number of lines per paragraph. That is, the total number of lines shown may well be more than this value if the layout contains multiple paragraphs of text. The default value of -1 means that the first line of each paragraph is ellipsized. This behavior may be changed in the future to act per layout instead of per paragraph. File a bug against pango at [https://gitlab.gnome.org/gnome/pango](https://gitlab.gnome.org/gnome/pango) if your code relies on this behavior. Height setting only has effect if a positive width is set on @layout and ellipsization mode of @layout is not %PANGO_ELLIPSIZE_NONE. The behavior is undefined if a height other than -1 is set and ellipsization mode is set to %PANGO_ELLIPSIZE_NONE, and may change in the future.

a `PangoLayout`.

the desired height of the layout in Pango units if positive, or desired number of lines if negative.

Sets the width in Pango units to indent each paragraph. A negative value of @indent will produce a hanging indentation. That is, the first line will have the full width, and subsequent lines will be indented by the absolute value of @indent. The indent setting is ignored if layout alignment is set to %PANGO_ALIGN_CENTER. The default value is 0.

a `PangoLayout`

the amount by which to indent

Sets whether each complete line should be stretched to fill the entire width of the layout. Stretching is typically done by adding whitespace, but for some scripts (such as Arabic), the justification may be done in more complex ways, like extending the characters. Note that this setting is not implemented and so is ignored in Pango older than 1.18. Note that tabs and justification conflict with each other: Justification will move content away from its tab-aligned positions. The default value is %FALSE. Also see [method@Pango.Layout.set_justify_last_line].

a `PangoLayout`

whether the lines in the layout should be justified

Sets whether the last line should be stretched to fill the entire width of the layout. This only has an effect if [method@Pango.Layout.set_justify] has been called as well. The default value is %FALSE.

a `PangoLayout`

whether the last line in the layout should be justified

Sets a factor for line spacing. Typical values are: 0, 1, 1.5, 2. The default values is 0. If @factor is non-zero, lines are placed so that baseline2 = baseline1 + factor * height2 where height2 is the line height of the second line (as determined by the font(s)). In this case, the spacing set with [method@Pango.Layout.set_spacing] is ignored. If @factor is zero (the default), spacing is applied as before. Note: for semantics that are closer to the CSS line-height property, see [func@Pango.attr_line_height_new].

a `PangoLayout`

the new line spacing factor

Sets the layout text and attribute list from marked-up text. See [Pango Markup](pango_markup.html)). Replaces the current text and attribute list. This is the same as [method@Pango.Layout.set_markup_with_accel], but the markup text isn't scanned for accelerators.

a `PangoLayout`

marked-up text length of marked-up text in bytes, or -1 if @markup is `NUL`-terminated

Sets the layout text and attribute list from marked-up text. See [Pango Markup](pango_markup.html)). Replaces the current text and attribute list. If @accel_marker is nonzero, the given character will mark the character following it as an accelerator. For example, @accel_marker might be an ampersand or underscore. All characters marked as an accelerator will receive a %PANGO_UNDERLINE_LOW attribute, and the first character so marked will be returned in @accel_char. Two @accel_marker characters following each other produce a single literal @accel_marker character.

a `PangoLayout`

marked-up text (see [Pango Markup](pango_markup.html)) length of marked-up text in bytes, or -1 if @markup is `NUL`-terminated marker for accelerators in the text return location for first located accelerator

Sets the single paragraph mode of @layout. If @setting is %TRUE, do not treat newlines and similar characters as paragraph separators; instead, keep all text in a single paragraph, and display a glyph for paragraph separator characters. Used when you want to allow editing of newlines on a single text line. The default value is %FALSE.

a `PangoLayout`

new setting

Sets the amount of spacing in Pango units between the lines of the layout. When placing lines with spacing, Pango arranges things so that line2.top = line1.bottom + spacing The default value is 0. Note: Since 1.44, Pango is using the line height (as determined by the font) for placing lines when the line spacing factor is set to a non-zero value with [method@Pango.Layout.set_line_spacing]. In that case, the @spacing set with this function is ignored. Note: for semantics that are closer to the CSS line-height property, see [func@Pango.attr_line_height_new].

a `PangoLayout`

the amount of spacing

Sets the tabs to use for @layout, overriding the default tabs. `PangoLayout` will place content at the next tab position whenever it meets a Tab character (U+0009). By default, tabs are every 8 spaces. If @tabs is %NULL, the default tabs are reinstated. @tabs is copied into the layout; you must free your copy of @tabs yourself. Note that tabs and justification conflict with each other: Justification will move content away from its tab-aligned positions. The same is true for alignments other than %PANGO_ALIGN_LEFT.

a `PangoLayout`

a `PangoTabArray`

Sets the text of the layout. This function validates @text and renders invalid UTF-8 with a placeholder glyph. Note that if you have used [method@Pango.Layout.set_markup] or [method@Pango.Layout.set_markup_with_accel] on @layout before, you may want to call [method@Pango.Layout.set_attributes] to clear the attributes set on the layout from the markup as this function does not clear attributes.

a `PangoLayout`

the text maximum length of @text, in bytes. -1 indicates that the string is nul-terminated and the length should be calculated. The text will also be truncated on encountering a nul-termination even when @length is positive.

Sets the width to which the lines of the `PangoLayout` should wrap or ellipsized. The default value is -1: no width set.

a `PangoLayout`.

the desired width in Pango units, or -1 to indicate that no wrapping or ellipsization should be performed.

Sets the wrap mode. The wrap mode only has effect if a width is set on the layout with [method@Pango.Layout.set_width]. To turn off wrapping, set the width to -1. The default value is %PANGO_WRAP_WORD.

a `PangoLayout`

the wrap mode

A convenience method to serialize a layout to a file. It is equivalent to calling [method@Pango.Layout.serialize] followed by [func@GLib.file_set_contents]. See those two functions for details on the arguments. It is mostly intended for use inside a debugger to quickly dump a layout to a file for later inspection.

%TRUE if saving was successful

a `PangoLayout`

`PangoLayoutSerializeFlags` the file to save it to

Converts from X and Y position within a layout to the byte index to the character at that logical position. If the Y position is not inside the layout, the closest position is chosen (the position will be clamped inside the layout). If the X position is not within the layout, then the start or the end of the line is chosen as described for [method@Pango.LayoutLine.x_to_index]. If either the X or Y positions were not inside the layout, then the function returns %FALSE; on an exact hit, it returns %TRUE.

%TRUE if the coordinates were inside text, %FALSE otherwise

a `PangoLayout`

the X offset (in Pango units) from the left edge of the layout the Y offset (in Pango units) from the top edge of the layout location to store calculated byte index location to store a integer indicating where in the grapheme the user clicked. It will either be zero, or the number of characters in the grapheme. 0 represents the leading edge of the grapheme.

To obtain a `PangoLayoutIter`, use [method@Pango.Layout.get_iter]. The `PangoLayoutIter` structure is opaque, and has no user-visible fields.

Determines whether @iter is on the last line of the layout.

%TRUE if @iter is on the last line

a `PangoLayoutIter`

a `PangoLayoutIter`

Frees an iterator that's no longer in use.

a `PangoLayoutIter`, may be %NULL

Gets the Y position of the current line's baseline, in layout coordinates. Layout coordinates have the origin at the top left of the entire layout.

baseline of current line

a `PangoLayoutIter`

Gets the extents of the current character, in layout coordinates. Layout coordinates have the origin at the top left of the entire layout. Only logical extents can sensibly be obtained for characters; ink extents make sense only down to the level of clusters.

a `PangoLayoutIter`

rectangle to fill with logical extents

Gets the extents of the current cluster, in layout coordinates. Layout coordinates have the origin at the top left of the entire layout.

a `PangoLayoutIter`

rectangle to fill with ink extents rectangle to fill with logical extents

Gets the current byte index. Note that iterating forward by char moves in visual order, not logical order, so indexes may not be sequential. Also, the index may be equal to the length of the text in the layout, if on the %NULL run (see [method@Pango.LayoutIter.get_run]).

current byte index

a `PangoLayoutIter`

Gets the layout associated with a `PangoLayoutIter`.

the layout associated with @iter

a `PangoLayoutIter`

Obtains the extents of the `PangoLayout` being iterated over.

a `PangoLayoutIter`

rectangle to fill with ink extents rectangle to fill with logical extents

Gets the current line. Use the faster [method@Pango.LayoutIter.get_line_readonly] if you do not plan to modify the contents of the line (glyphs, glyph widths, etc.).

the current line

a `PangoLayoutIter`

Obtains the extents of the current line. Extents are in layout coordinates (origin is the top-left corner of the entire `PangoLayout`). Thus the extents returned by this function will be the same width/height but not at the same x/y as the extents returned from [method@Pango.LayoutLine.get_extents].

a `PangoLayoutIter`

rectangle to fill with ink extents rectangle to fill with logical extents

Gets the current line for read-only access. This is a faster alternative to [method@Pango.LayoutIter.get_line], but the user is not expected to modify the contents of the line (glyphs, glyph widths, etc.).

the current line, that should not be modified

a `PangoLayoutIter`

Divides the vertical space in the `PangoLayout` being iterated over between the lines in the layout, and returns the space belonging to the current line. A line's range includes the line's logical extents. plus half of the spacing above and below the line, if [method@Pango.Layout.set_spacing] has been called to set layout spacing. The Y positions are in layout coordinates (origin at top left of the entire layout). Note: Since 1.44, Pango uses line heights for placing lines, and there may be gaps between the ranges returned by this function.

a `PangoLayoutIter`

start of line end of line

Gets the current run. When iterating by run, at the end of each line, there's a position with a %NULL run, so this function can return %NULL. The %NULL run at the end of each line ensures that all lines have at least one run, even lines consisting of only a newline. Use the faster [method@Pango.LayoutIter.get_run_readonly] if you do not plan to modify the contents of the run (glyphs, glyph widths, etc.).

the current run

a `PangoLayoutIter`

Gets the Y position of the current run's baseline, in layout coordinates. Layout coordinates have the origin at the top left of the entire layout. The run baseline can be different from the line baseline, for example due to superscript or subscript positioning.

a `PangoLayoutIter`

Gets the extents of the current run in layout coordinates. Layout coordinates have the origin at the top left of the entire layout.

a `PangoLayoutIter`

rectangle to fill with ink extents rectangle to fill with logical extents

Gets the current run for read-only access. When iterating by run, at the end of each line, there's a position with a %NULL run, so this function can return %NULL. The %NULL run at the end of each line ensures that all lines have at least one run, even lines consisting of only a newline. This is a faster alternative to [method@Pango.LayoutIter.get_run], but the user is not expected to modify the contents of the run (glyphs, glyph widths, etc.).

a `PangoLayoutIter`

A `PangoLayoutLine` represents one of the lines resulting from laying out a paragraph via `PangoLayout`. `PangoLayoutLine` structures are obtained by calling [method@Pango.Layout.get_line] and are only valid until the text, attributes, or settings of the parent `PangoLayout` are modified.

the layout this line belongs to, might be %NULL start of line as byte index into layout->text length of line in bytes list of runs in the line, from left to right #TRUE if this is the first line of the paragraph #Resolved PangoDirection of line Computes the logical and ink extents of a layout line. See [method@Pango.Font.get_glyph_extents] for details about the interpretation of the rectangles.

a `PangoLayoutLine`

rectangle used to store the extents of the glyph string as drawn rectangle used to store the logical extents of the glyph string

Computes the height of the line, as the maximum of the heights of fonts used in this line. Note that the actual baseline-to-baseline distance between lines of text is influenced by other factors, such as [method@Pango.Layout.set_spacing] and [method@Pango.Layout.set_line_spacing].

a `PangoLayoutLine`

return location for the line height

Returns the length of the line, in bytes.

the length of the line

a `PangoLayoutLine`

Computes the logical and ink extents of @layout_line in device units. This function just calls [method@Pango.LayoutLine.get_extents] followed by two [func@extents_to_pixels] calls, rounding @ink_rect and @logical_rect such that the rounded rectangles fully contain the unrounded one (that is, passes them as first argument to [func@extents_to_pixels]).

a `PangoLayoutLine`

rectangle used to store the extents of the glyph string as drawn rectangle used to store the logical extents of the glyph string

Returns the resolved direction of the line.

the resolved direction of the line

a `PangoLayoutLine`

Returns the start index of the line, as byte index into the text of the layout.

the start index of the line

a `PangoLayoutLine`

Gets a list of visual ranges corresponding to a given logical range. This list is not necessarily minimal - there may be consecutive ranges which are adjacent. The ranges will be sorted from left to right. The ranges are with respect to the left edge of the entire layout, not with respect to the line.

a `PangoLayoutLine`

Start byte index of the logical range. If this value is less than the start index for the line, then the first range will extend all the way to the leading edge of the layout. Otherwise, it will start at the leading edge of the first character. Ending byte index of the logical range. If this value is greater than the end index for the line, then the last range will extend all the way to the trailing edge of the layout. Otherwise, it will end at the trailing edge of the last character. location to store a pointer to an array of ranges. The array will be of length `2*n_ranges`, with each range starting at `(*ranges)[2*n]` and of width `(*ranges)[2*n + 1] - (*ranges)[2*n]`. This array must be freed with g_free(). The coordinates are relative to the layout and are in Pango units. The number of ranges stored in @ranges

Converts an index within a line to a X position.

a `PangoLayoutLine`

Returns whether this is the first line of the paragraph.

%TRUE if this is the first line

a `PangoLayoutLine`

Increase the reference count of a `PangoLayoutLine` by one.

the line passed in.

a `PangoLayoutLine`

Decrease the reference count of a `PangoLayoutLine` by one. If the result is zero, the line and all associated memory will be freed.

a `PangoLayoutLine`

Converts from x offset to the byte index of the corresponding character within the text of the layout. If @x_pos is outside the line, @index_ and @trailing will point to the very first or very last position in the line. This determination is based on the resolved direction of the paragraph; for example, if the resolved direction is right-to-left, then an X position to the right of the line (after it) results in 0 being stored in @index_ and @trailing. An X position to the left of the line results in @index_ pointing to the (logical) last grapheme in the line and @trailing being set to the number of characters in that grapheme. The reverse is true for a left-to-right line.

%FALSE if @x_pos was outside the line, %TRUE if inside

a `PangoLayoutLine`

the X offset (in Pango units) from the left edge of the line. location to store calculated byte index for the grapheme in which the user clicked location to store an integer indicating where in the grapheme the user clicked. It will either be zero, or the number of characters in the grapheme. 0 represents the leading edge of the grapheme.

Flags that influence the behavior of [method@Pango.Layout.serialize]. New members may be added to this enumeration over time. Default behavior Include context information Include information about the formatted output The `PangoLogAttr` structure stores information about the attributes of a single character.

if set, can break line in front of character if set, must break line in front of character if set, can break here when doing character wrapping is whitespace character if set, cursor can appear in front of character. i.e. this is a grapheme boundary, or the first character in the text. This flag implements Unicode's [Grapheme Cluster Boundaries](http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr29/) semantics. is first character in a word is first non-word char after a word Note that in degenerate cases, you could have both @is_word_start and @is_word_end set for some character. is a sentence boundary. There are two ways to divide sentences. The first assigns all inter-sentence whitespace/control/format chars to some sentence, so all chars are in some sentence; @is_sentence_boundary denotes the boundaries there. The second way doesn't assign between-sentence spaces, etc. to any sentence, so @is_sentence_start/@is_sentence_end mark the boundaries of those sentences. is first character in a sentence is first char after a sentence. Note that in degenerate cases, you could have both @is_sentence_start and @is_sentence_end set for some character. (e.g. no space after a period, so the next sentence starts right away) if set, backspace deletes one character rather than the entire grapheme cluster. This field is only meaningful on grapheme boundaries (where @is_cursor_position is set). In some languages, the full grapheme (e.g. letter + diacritics) is considered a unit, while in others, each decomposed character in the grapheme is a unit. In the default implementation of [func@break], this bit is set on all grapheme boundaries except those following Latin, Cyrillic or Greek base characters. is a whitespace character that can possibly be expanded for justification purposes. (Since: 1.18) is a word boundary, as defined by UAX#29. More specifically, means that this is not a position in the middle of a word. For example, both sides of a punctuation mark are considered word boundaries. This flag is particularly useful when selecting text word-by-word. This flag implements Unicode's [Word Boundaries](http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr29/) semantics. (Since: 1.22) when breaking lines before this char, insert a hyphen. Since: 1.50 when breaking lines before this char, remove the preceding char. Since 1.50

A `PangoMatrix` specifies a transformation between user-space and device coordinates. The transformation is given by ``` x_device = x_user * matrix->xx + y_user * matrix->xy + matrix->x0; y_device = x_user * matrix->yx + y_user * matrix->yy + matrix->y0; ```

1st component of the transformation matrix 2nd component of the transformation matrix 3rd component of the transformation matrix 4th component of the transformation matrix x translation y translation Changes the transformation represented by @matrix to be the transformation given by first applying transformation given by @new_matrix then applying the original transformation.

a `PangoMatrix`, may be %NULL

Returns the scale factor of a matrix on the height of the font. That is, the scale factor in the direction perpendicular to the vector that the X coordinate is mapped to. If the scale in the X coordinate is needed as well, use [method@Pango.Matrix.get_font_scale_factors].

the scale factor of @matrix on the height of the font, or 1.0 if @matrix is %NULL.

a `PangoMatrix`, may be %NULL

Calculates the scale factor of a matrix on the width and height of the font. That is, @xscale is the scale factor in the direction of the X coordinate, and @yscale is the scale factor in the direction perpendicular to the vector that the X coordinate is mapped to. Note that output numbers will always be non-negative.

a `PangoMatrix`

amount to scale by in X direction amount to scale by in Y direction

Transforms the distance vector (@dx,@dy) by @matrix. This is similar to [method@Pango.Matrix.transform_point], except that the translation components of the transformation are ignored. The calculation of the returned vector is as follows: ``` dx2 = dx1 * xx + dy1 * xy; dy2 = dx1 * yx + dy1 * yy; ``` Affine transformations are position invariant, so the same vector always transforms to the same vector. If (@x1,@y1) transforms to (@x2,@y2) then (@x1+@dx1,@y1+@dy1) will transform to (@x1+@dx2,@y1+@dy2) for all values of @x1 and @x2.

a `PangoMatrix`

in/out X component of a distance vector in/out Y component of a distance vector

First transforms the @rect using @matrix, then calculates the bounding box of the transformed rectangle. This function is useful for example when you want to draw a rotated @PangoLayout to an image buffer, and want to know how large the image should be and how much you should shift the layout when rendering. For better accuracy, you should use [method@Pango.Matrix.transform_rectangle] on original rectangle in Pango units and convert to pixels afterward using [func@extents_to_pixels]'s first argument.

a `PangoMatrix`

in/out bounding box in device units

Transforms the point (@x, @y) by @matrix.

a `PangoMatrix`

in/out X position in/out Y position

First transforms @rect using @matrix, then calculates the bounding box of the transformed rectangle. This function is useful for example when you want to draw a rotated @PangoLayout to an image buffer, and want to know how large the image should be and how much you should shift the layout when rendering. If you have a rectangle in device units (pixels), use [method@Pango.Matrix.transform_pixel_rectangle]. If you have the rectangle in Pango units and want to convert to transformed pixel bounding box, it is more accurate to transform it first (using this function) and pass the result to pango_extents_to_pixels(), first argument, for an inclusive rounded rectangle. However, there are valid reasons that you may want to convert to pixels first and then transform, for example when the transformed coordinates may overflow in Pango units (large matrix translation for example).

Extracts the *right bearing* from a `PangoRectangle` representing glyph extents. The right bearing is the distance from the horizontal origin to the farthest right point of the character. This is positive except for characters drawn completely to the left of the horizontal origin.

a `PangoRectangle`

The `PangoRectangle` structure represents a rectangle. `PangoRectangle` is frequently used to represent the logical or ink extents of a single glyph or section of text. (See, for instance, [method@Pango.Font.get_glyph_extents].)

X coordinate of the left side of the rectangle. Y coordinate of the the top side of the rectangle. width of the rectangle. height of the rectangle.

`PangoRenderPart` defines different items to render for such purposes as setting colors. the text itself the area behind the text underlines strikethrough lines overlines `PangoRenderer` is a base class for objects that can render text provided as `PangoGlyphString` or `PangoLayout`. By subclassing `PangoRenderer` and overriding operations such as @draw_glyphs and @draw_rectangle, renderers for particular font backends and destinations can be created.

Draw a squiggly line that approximately covers the given rectangle in the style of an underline used to indicate a spelling error. The width of the underline is rounded to an integer number of up/down segments and the resulting rectangle is centered in the original rectangle. This should be called while @renderer is already active. Use [method@Pango.Renderer.activate] to activate a renderer.

Draws the glyphs in @glyph_item with the specified `PangoRenderer`, embedding the text associated with the glyphs in the output if the output format supports it. This is useful for rendering text in PDF. Note that this method does not handle attributes in @glyph_item. If you want colors, shapes and lines handled automatically according to those attributes, you need to use pango_renderer_draw_layout_line() or pango_renderer_draw_layout(). Note that @text is the start of the text for layout, which is then indexed by `glyph_item->item->offset`. If @text is %NULL, this simply calls [method@Pango.Renderer.draw_glyphs]. The default implementation of this method simply falls back to [method@Pango.Renderer.draw_glyphs].

Informs Pango that the way that the rendering is done for @part has changed. This should be called if the rendering changes in a way that would prevent multiple pieces being joined together into one drawing call. For instance, if a subclass of `PangoRenderer` was to add a stipple option for drawing underlines, it needs to call ``` pango_renderer_part_changed (render, PANGO_RENDER_PART_UNDERLINE); ``` When the stipple changes or underlines with different stipples might be joined together. Pango automatically calls this for changes to colors. (See [method@Pango.Renderer.set_color])

a `PangoRenderer`

the part for which rendering has changed.

Does initial setup before rendering operations on @renderer. [method@Pango.Renderer.deactivate] should be called when done drawing. Calls such as [method@Pango.Renderer.draw_layout] automatically activate the layout before drawing on it. Calls to [method@Pango.Renderer.activate] and [method@Pango.Renderer.deactivate] can be nested and the renderer will only be initialized and deinitialized once.

The scale between dimensions used for Pango distances and device units. The definition of device units is dependent on the output device; it will typically be pixels for a screen, and points for a printer. %PANGO_SCALE is currently 1024, but this may be changed in the future. When setting font sizes, device units are always considered to be points (as in "12 point font"), rather than pixels.

The `PangoScript` enumeration identifies different writing systems. The values correspond to the names as defined in the Unicode standard. See [Unicode Standard Annex 24: Script names](http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr24/) Note that this enumeration is deprecated and will not be updated to include values in newer versions of the Unicode standard.

The script of a character is defined by [Unicode Standard Annex 24: Script names](http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr24/). No check is made for @ch being a valid Unicode character; if you pass in invalid character, the result is undefined. Note that while the return type of this function is declared as `PangoScript`, as of Pango 1.18, this function simply returns the return value of [func@GLib.unichar_get_script]. Callers must be prepared to handle unknown values.

Use g_unichar_get_script()

the `PangoScript` for the character.

a Unicode character

Finds a language tag that is reasonably representative of @script. The language will usually be the most widely spoken or used language written in that script: for instance, the sample language for %PANGO_SCRIPT_CYRILLIC is ru (Russian), the sample language for %PANGO_SCRIPT_ARABIC is ar. For some scripts, no sample language will be returned because there is no language that is sufficiently representative. The best example of this is %PANGO_SCRIPT_HAN, where various different variants of written Chinese, Japanese, and Korean all use significantly different sets of Han characters and forms of shared characters. No sample language can be provided for many historical scripts as well. As of 1.18, this function checks the environment variables `PANGO_LANGUAGE` and `LANGUAGE` (checked in that order) first. If one of them is set, it is parsed as a list of language tags separated by colons or other separators. This function will return the first language in the parsed list that Pango believes may use @script for writing. This last predicate is tested using [method@Pango.Language.includes_script]. This can be used to control Pango's font selection for non-primary languages. For example, a `PANGO_LANGUAGE` enviroment variable set to "en:fa" makes Pango choose fonts suitable for Persian (fa) instead of Arabic (ar) when a segment of Arabic text is found in an otherwise non-Arabic text. The same trick can be used to choose a default language for %PANGO_SCRIPT_HAN when setting context language is not feasible.

A `PangoScriptIter` is used to iterate through a string and identify ranges in different scripts.

Create a new `PangoScriptIter`, used to break a string of Unicode text into runs by Unicode script. No copy is made of @text, so the caller needs to make sure it remains valid until the iterator is freed with [method@Pango.ScriptIter.free].

a `PangoScriptIter`

Gets information about the range to which @iter currently points. The range is the set of locations p where *start <= p < *end. (That is, it doesn't include the character stored at *end) Note that while the type of the @script argument is declared as `PangoScript`, as of Pango 1.18, this function simply returns `GUnicodeScript` values. Callers must be prepared to handle unknown values.

Since: 1.50 the text is centered at the tab stop position until the available space is filled. Since: 1.50 text before the first occurrence of the decimal point character appears to the left of the tab stop position (until the available space is filled), the rest to the right. Since: 1.50 A `PangoTabArray` contains an array of tab stops. `PangoTabArray` can be used to set tab stops in a `PangoLayout`. Each tab stop has an alignment, a position, and optionally a character to use as decimal point.

Creates an array of @initial_size tab stops. Tab stops are specified in pixel units if @positions_in_pixels is %TRUE, otherwise in Pango units. All stops are initially at position 0.

The `PangoUnderline` enumeration is used to specify whether text should be underlined, and if so, the type of underlining. no underline should be drawn a single underline should be drawn a double underline should be drawn a single underline should be drawn at a position beneath the ink extents of the text being underlined. This should be used only for underlining single characters, such as for keyboard accelerators. %PANGO_UNDERLINE_SINGLE should be used for extended portions of text. an underline indicating an error should be drawn below. The exact style of rendering is up to the `PangoRenderer` in use, but typical styles include wavy or dotted lines. This underline is typically used to indicate an error such as a possible mispelling; in some cases a contrasting color may automatically be used. This type of underlining is available since Pango 1.4. Like @PANGO_UNDERLINE_SINGLE, but drawn continuously across multiple runs. This type of underlining is available since Pango 1.46. Like @PANGO_UNDERLINE_DOUBLE, but drawn continuously across multiple runs. This type of underlining is available since Pango 1.46.

Converts extents from Pango units to device units. The conversion is done by dividing by the %PANGO_SCALE factor and performing rounding. The @inclusive rectangle is converted by flooring the x/y coordinates and extending width/height, such that the final rectangle completely includes the original rectangle. The @nearest rectangle is converted by rounding the coordinates of the rectangle to the nearest device unit (pixel). The rule to which argument to use is: if you want the resulting device-space rectangle to completely contain the original rectangle, pass it in as @inclusive. If you want two touching-but-not-overlapping rectangles stay touching-but-not-overlapping after rounding to device units, pass them in as @nearest.

Locates a paragraph boundary in @text. A boundary is caused by delimiter characters, such as a newline, carriage return, carriage return-newline pair, or Unicode paragraph separator character. The index of the run of delimiters is returned in @paragraph_delimiter_index. The index of the start of the next paragraph (index after all delimiters) is stored n @next_paragraph_start. If no delimiters are found, both @paragraph_delimiter_index and @next_paragraph_start are filled with the length of @text (an index one off the end).

Finishes parsing markup. After feeding a Pango markup parser some data with [method@GLib.MarkupParseContext.parse], use this function to get the list of attributes and text out of the markup. This function will not free @context, use [method@GLib.MarkupParseContext.free] to do so.

Incrementally parses marked-up text to create a plain-text string and an attribute list. See the [Pango Markup](pango_markup.html) docs for details about the supported markup. If @accel_marker is nonzero, the given character will mark the character following it as an accelerator. For example, @accel_marker might be an ampersand or underscore. All characters marked as an accelerator will receive a %PANGO_UNDERLINE_LOW attribute, and the first character so marked will be returned in @accel_char, when calling [func@markup_parser_finish]. Two @accel_marker characters following each other produce a single literal @accel_marker character. To feed markup to the parser, use [method@GLib.MarkupParseContext.parse] on the returned [struct@GLib.MarkupParseContext]. When done with feeding markup to the parser, use [func@markup_parser_finish] to get the data out of it, and then use [method@GLib.MarkupParseContext.free] to free it. This function is designed for applications that read Pango markup from streams. To simply parse a string containing Pango markup, the [func@Pango.parse_markup] API is recommended instead.

a `GMarkupParseContext` that should be destroyed with [method@GLib.MarkupParseContext.free].

Parses an enum type and stores the result in @value. If @str does not match the nick name of any of the possible values for the enum and is not an integer, %FALSE is returned, a warning is issued if @warn is %TRUE, and a string representing the list of possible values is stored in @possible_values. The list is slash-separated, eg. "none/start/middle/end". If failed and @possible_values is not %NULL, returned string should be freed using g_free().

%TRUE if @str was successfully parsed

Parses marked-up text to create a plain-text string and an attribute list. See the [Pango Markup](pango_markup.html) docs for details about the supported markup. If @accel_marker is nonzero, the given character will mark the character following it as an accelerator. For example, @accel_marker might be an ampersand or underscore. All characters marked as an accelerator will receive a %PANGO_UNDERLINE_LOW attribute, and the first character so marked will be returned in @accel_char. Two @accel_marker characters following each other produce a single literal @accel_marker character. To parse a stream of pango markup incrementally, use [func@markup_parser_new]. If any error happens, none of the output arguments are touched except for @error.

%FALSE if @error is set, otherwise %TRUE

Quantizes the thickness and position of a line to whole device pixels. This is typically used for underline or strikethrough. The purpose of this function is to avoid such lines looking blurry. Care is taken to make sure @thickness is at least one pixel when this function returns, but returned @position may become zero as a result of rounding.

pointer to the thickness of a line, in Pango units corresponding position

Reads an entire line from a file into a buffer. Lines may be delimited with '\n', '\r', '\n\r', or '\r\n'. The delimiter is not written into the buffer. Text after a '#' character is treated as a comment and skipped. '\' can be used to escape a # character. '\' proceeding a line delimiter combines adjacent lines. A '\' proceeding any other character is ignored and written into the output buffer unmodified.

0 if the stream was already at an %EOF character, otherwise the number of lines read (this is useful for maintaining a line number counter which doesn't combine lines with '\')

Reorder items from logical order to visual order. The visual order is determined from the associated directional levels of the items. The original list is unmodified. (Please open a bug if you use this function. It is not a particularly convenient interface, and the code is duplicated elsewhere in Pango for that reason.)

Scans an integer. Leading white space is skipped.

%FALSE if a parse error occurred

Scans a string into a `GString` buffer. The string may either be a sequence of non-white-space characters, or a quoted string with '"'. Instead a quoted string, '\"' represents a literal quote. Leading white space outside of quotes is skipped.

%FALSE if a parse error occurred

in/out string position a `GString` into which to write the result

Scans a word into a `GString` buffer. A word consists of [A-Za-z_] followed by zero or more [A-Za-z_0-9]. Leading white space is skipped.

%FALSE if a parse error occurred

Looks up the script for a particular character. The script of a character is defined by [Unicode Standard Annex 24: Script names](http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr24/). No check is made for @ch being a valid Unicode character; if you pass in invalid character, the result is undefined. Note that while the return type of this function is declared as `PangoScript`, as of Pango 1.18, this function simply returns the return value of [func@GLib.unichar_get_script]. Callers must be prepared to handle unknown values.

Use g_unichar_get_script()

Convert the characters in @text into glyphs. Given a segment of text and the corresponding `PangoAnalysis` structure returned from [func@Pango.itemize], convert the characters into glyphs. You may also pass in only a substring of the item from [func@Pango.itemize]. It is recommended that you use [func@Pango.shape_full] instead, since that API allows for shaping interaction happening across text item boundaries. Note that the extra attributes in the @analyis that is returned from [func@Pango.itemize] have indices that are relative to the entire paragraph, so you need to subtract the item offset from their indices before calling [func@Pango.shape].

Convert the characters in @text into glyphs. Given a segment of text and the corresponding `PangoAnalysis` structure returned from [func@Pango.itemize], convert the characters into glyphs. You may also pass in only a substring of the item from [func@Pango.itemize]. This is similar to [func@Pango.shape], except it also can optionally take the full paragraph text as input, which will then be used to perform certain cross-item shaping interactions. If you have access to the broader text of which @item_text is part of, provide the broader text as @paragraph_text. If @paragraph_text is %NULL, item text is used instead. Note that the extra attributes in the @analyis that is returned from [func@Pango.itemize] have indices that are relative to the entire paragraph, so you do not pass the full paragraph text as @paragraph_text, you need to subtract the item offset from their indices before calling [func@Pango.shape_full].

Convert the characters in @item into glyphs. This is similar to [func@Pango.shape_with_flags], except it takes a `PangoItem` instead of separate @item_text and @analysis arguments. It also takes @log_attrs, which may be used in implementing text transforms. Note that the extra attributes in the @analyis that is returned from [func@Pango.itemize] have indices that are relative to the entire paragraph, so you do not pass the full paragraph text as @paragraph_text, you need to subtract the item offset from their indices before calling [func@Pango.shape_with_flags].

Apply language-specific tailoring to the breaks in @attrs. The line breaks are assumed to have been produced by [func@Pango.default_break]. If @offset is not -1, it is used to apply attributes from @analysis that are relevant to line breaking. Note that it is better to pass -1 for @offset and use [func@Pango.attr_break] to apply attributes to the whole paragraph.

Determines the inherent direction of a character. The inherent direction is either `PANGO_DIRECTION_LTR`, `PANGO_DIRECTION_RTL`, or `PANGO_DIRECTION_NEUTRAL`. This function is useful to categorize characters into left-to-right letters, right-to-left letters, and everything else. If full Unicode bidirectional type of a character is needed, [func@Pango.BidiType.for_unichar] can be used instead.

Returns the encoded version of Pango available at run-time. This is similar to the macro %PANGO_VERSION except that the macro returns the encoded version available at compile-time. A version number can be encoded into an integer using PANGO_VERSION_ENCODE().

The encoded version of Pango library available at run time.

Checks that the Pango library in use is compatible with the given version. Generally you would pass in the constants %PANGO_VERSION_MAJOR, %PANGO_VERSION_MINOR, %PANGO_VERSION_MICRO as the three arguments to this function; that produces a check that the library in use at run-time is compatible with the version of Pango the application or module was compiled against. Compatibility is defined by two things: first the version of the running library is newer than the version @required_major.required_minor.@required_micro. Second the running library must be binary compatible with the version @required_major.required_minor.@required_micro (same major version.) For compile-time version checking use PANGO_VERSION_CHECK().

%NULL if the Pango library is compatible with the given version, or a string describing the version mismatch. The returned string is owned by Pango and should not be modified or freed.

Returns the version of Pango available at run-time. This is similar to the macro %PANGO_VERSION_STRING except that the macro returns the version available at compile-time.

A string containing the version of Pango library available at run time. The returned string is owned by Pango and should not be modified or freed.
