Module pango::functions

Functions

extents_to_pixels	Converts extents from Pango units to device units, dividing by the PANGO_SCALE factor and performing rounding.
find_base_dir	Searches a string the first character that has a strong direction, according to the Unicode bidirectional algorithm.
find_paragraph_boundary	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 paragraph (index after all delimiters) is stored in next_paragraph_start.
is_zero_width	Checks ch to see if it is a character that should not be normally rendered on the screen. This includes all Unicode characters with “ZERO WIDTH” in their name, as well as <firstterm>bidi</firstterm> formatting characters, and a few other ones. This is totally different from g_unichar_iszerowidth() and is at best misnamed.
itemize	Breaks a piece of text into segments with consistent directional level and shaping engine. Each byte of text will be contained in exactly one of the items in the returned list; the generated list of items will be in logical order (the start offsets of the items are ascending).
itemize_with_base_dir	Like itemize(), but the base direction to use when computing bidirectional levels (see pango_context_set_base_dir ()), is specified explicitly rather than gotten from the Context.
parse_markup	Parses marked-up text (see
parse_stretch	Parses a font stretch. The allowed values are “ultra_condensed”, “extra_condensed”, “condensed”, “semi_condensed”, “normal”, “semi_expanded”, “expanded”, “extra_expanded” and “ultra_expanded”. Case variations are ignored and the ‘_’ characters may be omitted.
parse_style	Parses a font style. The allowed values are “normal”, “italic” and “oblique”, case variations being ignored.
parse_variant	Parses a font variant. The allowed values are “normal” and “smallcaps” or “small_caps”, case variations being ignored.
parse_weight	Parses a font weight. The allowed values are “heavy”, “ultrabold”, “bold”, “normal”, “light”, “ultraleight” and integers. Case variations are ignored.
quantize_line_geometry	Quantizes the thickness and position of a line, typically an underline or strikethrough, to whole device pixels, that is integer multiples of PANGO_SCALE. The purpose of this function is to avoid such lines looking blurry.
shape	Given a segment of text and the corresponding Analysis structure returned from itemize(), convert the characters into glyphs. You may also pass in only a substring of the item from itemize().
unichar_direction	Determines the inherent direction of a character; either Direction::Ltr, Direction::Rtl, or Direction::Neutral.
units_from_double	Converts a floating-point number to Pango units: multiplies it by PANGO_SCALE and rounds to nearest integer.
units_to_double	Converts a number in Pango units to floating-point: divides it by PANGO_SCALE.
version	This is similar to the macro PANGO_VERSION except that it returns the encoded version of Pango available at run-time, as opposed to the version available at compile-time.
version_check	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.
version_string	This is similar to the macro PANGO_VERSION_STRING except that it returns the version of Pango available at run-time, as opposed to the version available at compile-time.
