Function gdk::functions::pango_context_get
source · [−]Expand description
Creates a pango::Context
for the default GDK screen.
The context must be freed when you’re finished with it.
When using GTK+, normally you should use gtk_widget_get_pango_context()
instead of this function, to get the appropriate context for
the widget you intend to render text onto.
The newly created context will have the default font options (see
cairo::FontOptions
) for the default screen; if these options
change it will not be updated. Using gtk_widget_get_pango_context()
is more convenient if you want to keep a context around and track
changes to the screen’s font rendering settings.
Returns
a new pango::Context
for the default display
