The Cairo library is a vector graphics library with a powerful rendering model. It has such features as anti-aliased primitives, alpha-compositing, and gradients. Multiple backends for Cairo are available, to allow rendering to images, to PDF files, and to the screen on X and on other windowing systems. The functions in this section allow using Pango to render to Cairo surfaces.
Using Pango with Cairo is straightforward. A PangoContext created
with pango_cairo_font_map_create_context() can be used on any
Cairo context (cairo_t), but needs to be updated to match the
current transformation matrix and target surface of the Cairo context
using pango_cairo_update_context(). The convenience functions
pango_cairo_create_layout() and pango_cairo_update_layout() handle
the common case where the program doesn't need to manipulate the
properties of the PangoContext.
When you get the metrics of a layout or of a piece of a layout using
functions such as pango_layout_get_extents(), the reported metrics
are in user-space coordinates. If a piece of text is 10 units long,
and you call cairo_scale (cr, 2.0), it still is more-or-less 10
units long. However, the results will be affected by hinting
(that is, the process of adjusting the text to look good on the
pixel grid), so you shouldn't assume they are completely independent
of the current transformation matrix. Note that the basic metrics
functions in Pango report results in integer Pango units. To get
to the floating point units used in Cairo divide by PANGO_SCALE.

/* Draw the layout N_WORDS times in a circle */
for (i = 0; i < N_WORDS; i++)
{
int width, height;
double angle = (360. * i) / N_WORDS;

typedef struct _PangoCairoFont PangoCairoFont;
PangoCairoFont is an interface exported by fonts for use with Cairo. The actual type of the font will depend on the particular font technology Cairo was compiled to use.
Since 1.18
typedef struct _PangoCairoFontMap PangoCairoFontMap;
PangoCairoFontMap is an interface exported by font maps for use with Cairo. The actual type of the font map will depend on the particular font technology Cairo was compiled to use.
Since 1.10
PangoFontMap* pango_cairo_font_map_get_default (void);
Gets a default PangoCairoFontMap to use with Cairo.
Note that the type of the returned object will depend on the particular font backend Cairo was compiled to use; You generally should only use the PangoFontMap and PangoCairoFontMap interfaces on the returned object.
Returns : |
the default Cairo fontmap for Pango. This object is owned by Pango and must not be freed. |
Since 1.10
PangoFontMap* pango_cairo_font_map_new (void);
Creates a new PangoCairoFontMap object; a fontmap is used
to cache information about available fonts, and holds
certain global parameters such as the resolution.
In most cases, you can use pango_cairo_font_map_get_default()
instead.
Note that the type of the returned object will depend on the particular font backend Cairo was compiled to use; You generally should only use the PangoFontMap and PangoCairoFontMap interfaces on the returned object.
Returns : |
the newly allocated PangoFontMap, which should
be freed with g_object_unref().
|
Since 1.10
PangoFontMap* pango_cairo_font_map_new_for_font_type (cairo_font_type_t fonttype);
Creates a new PangoCairoFontMap object of the type suitable
to be used with cairo font backend of type fonttype.
In most cases one should simply use @pango_cairo_font_map_new(),
or in fact in most of those cases, just use
@pango_cairo_font_map_get_default().
|
desired cairo_font_type_t |
Returns : |
the newly allocated PangoFontMap of suitable type
which should be freed with g_object_unref(),
or NULL if the requested cairo font backend is
not supported / compiled in.

void pango_cairo_font_map_set_resolution (PangoCairoFontMap *fontmap, double dpi);
Sets the resolution for the fontmap. This is a scale factor between points specified in a PangoFontDescription and Cairo units. The default value is 96, meaning that a 10 point font will be 13 units high. (10 * 96. / 72. = 13.3).
|
a PangoCairoFontMap |

Since 1.18
void pango_cairo_context_set_resolution (PangoContext *context, double dpi);
Sets the resolution for the context. This is a scale factor between points specified in a PangoFontDescription and Cairo units. The default value is 96, meaning that a 10 point font will be 13 units high. (10 * 96. / 72. = 13.3).
|
a PangoContext, from pango_cairo_font_map_create_context()
|

that are derived from the target surface by pango_cairo_update_context()
|
a PangoContext, from pango_cairo_font_map_create_context()
|
Returns : |
the font options previously set on the context, or NULL
if no options have been set. This value is owned by the context
and must not be modified or freed.

void pango_cairo_update_context (cairo_t *cr, PangoContext *context);
Updates a PangoContext previously created for use with Cairo to
match the current transformation and target surface of a Cairo
context. If any layouts have been created for the context,
it's necessary to call pango_layout_context_changed() on those
layouts.

|
Since 1.10
PangoLayout* pango_cairo_create_layout (cairo_t *cr);
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.
|

Returns : |
the newly created PangoLayout. Free with
g_object_unref().
|
Since 1.10
void pango_cairo_update_layout (cairo_t *cr, PangoLayout *layout);
