Function
PangoCairo.create_layout
Declaration [src]
PangoLayout*
pango_cairo_create_layout (
cairo_t* cr
)
Description [src]
Creates a layout object set up to match the current transformation and target surface of the Cairo context.
This layout can then be
used for text measurement with functions like
pango_layout_get_size() or drawing with functions like
pango_cairo_show_layout(). If you change the transformation or target
surface for cr, you need to call pango_cairo_update_layout().
This function is the most convenient way to use Cairo with Pango,
however it is slightly inefficient since it creates a separate
PangoContext object for each layout. This might matter in an
application that was laying out large amounts of text.
