## Description

## Functions

### gdk_pango_renderer_new ()

    PangoRenderer *
    gdk_pango_renderer_new (GdkScreen *screen);

Creates a new PangoRenderer for `screen` . Normally you can use the results of `gdk_pango_renderer_get_default()` rather than creating a new renderer.

#### Parameters

screen | a GdkScreen |

#### Returns

a newly created PangoRenderer. Free with `g_object_unref()`.

Since: 2.6

### gdk_pango_renderer_get_default ()

    PangoRenderer *
    gdk_pango_renderer_get_default (GdkScreen *screen);

Gets the default PangoRenderer for a screen. This default renderer is shared by all users of the display, so properties such as the color or transformation matrix set for the renderer may be overwritten by functions such as `gdk_draw_layout()`.

Before using the renderer, you need to call `gdk_pango_renderer_set_drawable()` and `gdk_pango_renderer_set_gc()` to set the drawable and graphics context to use for drawing.

#### Parameters

screen | a GdkScreen |

#### Returns

the default PangoRenderer for `screen` . The renderer is owned by GTK+ and will be kept around until the screen is closed.

Since: 2.6

### gdk_pango_renderer_set_drawable ()

    void
    gdk_pango_renderer_set_drawable (GdkPangoRenderer *gdk_renderer,
                                     GdkDrawable *drawable);

Sets the drawable the renderer draws to.

#### Parameters

gdk_renderer | a GdkPangoRenderer |
drawable | the new target drawable, or `NULL`. | [allow-none]

Since: 2.6

### gdk_pango_renderer_set_gc ()

    void
    gdk_pango_renderer_set_gc (GdkPangoRenderer *gdk_renderer,
                               GdkGC *gc);

Sets the GC the renderer draws with. Note that the GC must not be modified until it is unset by calling the function again with `NULL` for the `gc` parameter, since GDK may make internal copies of the GC which won't be updated to follow changes to the original GC.

#### Parameters

gdk_renderer | a GdkPangoRenderer |
gc | the new GC to use for drawing, or `NULL`. | [allow-none]

Since: 2.6

### gdk_pango_renderer_set_stipple ()

    void
    gdk_pango_renderer_set_stipple (GdkPangoRenderer *gdk_renderer,
                                    PangoRenderPart part,
                                    GdkBitmap *stipple);

Sets the stipple for one render part (foreground, background, underline, etc.) Note that this is overwritten when iterating through the individual styled runs of a PangoLayout or PangoLayoutLine. This function is thus only useful when you call low level functions like `pango_renderer_draw_glyphs()` directly, or in the 'prepare_run' virtual function of a subclass of GdkPangoRenderer.

#### Parameters

gdk_renderer | a GdkPangoRenderer |
part | the part to render with the stipple |
stipple | the new stipple value. |

Since: 2.6

### gdk_pango_renderer_set_override_color ()

    void
    gdk_pango_renderer_set_override_color (GdkPangoRenderer *gdk_renderer,
                                           PangoRenderPart part,
                                           const GdkColor *color);

Sets the color for a particular render part (foreground, background, underline, etc.), overriding any attributes on the layouts renderered with this renderer.

#### Parameters

gdk_renderer | a GdkPangoRenderer |
part | the part to render to set the color of |
color | the color to use, or `NULL` to unset a previously set override color. | [allow-none]

Since: 2.6

### gdk_pango_context_get ()

    PangoContext *
    gdk_pango_context_get (void);

Creates a PangoContext 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_font_options_t) 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 PangoContext for the default display

### gdk_pango_context_get_for_screen ()

    PangoContext *
    gdk_pango_context_get_for_screen (GdkScreen *screen);

Creates a PangoContext for `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_font_options_t) for the 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.

#### Parameters

screen | the GdkScreen for which the context is to be created. |

#### Returns

a new PangoContext for `screen`

Since: 2.2

### gdk_pango_context_set_colormap ()

    void
    gdk_pango_context_set_colormap (PangoContext *context,
                                    GdkColormap *colormap);

`gdk_pango_context_set_colormap` is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.

This function used to set the colormap to be used for drawing with `context` . The colormap is now always derived from the graphics context used for drawing, so calling this function is no longer necessary.

#### Parameters

context | a PangoContext |
colormap | a GdkColormap |

### gdk_pango_attr_emboss_color_new ()

    PangoAttribute *
    gdk_pango_attr_emboss_color_new (const GdkColor *color);

Creates a new attribute specifying the color to emboss text with.

#### Parameters

color | a GdkColor representing the color to emboss with |

#### Returns

new PangoAttribute

Since: 2.12

### gdk_pango_attr_embossed_new ()

    PangoAttribute *
    gdk_pango_attr_embossed_new (gboolean embossed);

Creates a new attribute flagging a region as embossed or not.

#### Parameters

embossed | if the region should be embossed |

#### Returns

new PangoAttribute

### gdk_pango_attr_stipple_new ()

    PangoAttribute *
    gdk_pango_attr_stipple_new (GdkBitmap *stipple);

Creates a new attribute containing a stipple bitmap to be used when rendering the text.

#### Parameters

stipple | a bitmap to be set as stipple |

#### Returns

new PangoAttribute

### gdk_pango_layout_get_clip_region ()

    GdkRegion *
    gdk_pango_layout_get_clip_region (PangoLayout *layout,
                                      gint x_origin,
                                      gint y_origin,
                                      const gint *index_ranges,
                                      gint n_ranges);

Obtains a clip region which contains the areas where the given ranges of text would be drawn. `x_origin` and `y_origin` are the same position you would pass to `gdk_draw_layout_line()`. `index_ranges` should contain ranges of bytes in the layout's text.

Note that the regions returned correspond to logical extents of the text ranges, not ink extents. So the drawn layout may in fact touch areas out of the clip region. The clip region is mainly useful for highlightling parts of text, such as when text is selected.

#### Parameters

layout | a PangoLayout |
x_origin | X pixel where you intend to draw the layout with this clip |
y_origin | Y pixel where you intend to draw the layout with this clip |
index_ranges | array of byte indexes into the layout, where even members of array are start indexes and odd elements are end indexes |
n_ranges | number of ranges in `index_ranges` , i.e. half the size of `index_ranges` |

#### Returns

a clip region containing the given ranges

### gdk_pango_layout_line_get_clip_region ()

    GdkRegion *
    gdk_pango_layout_line_get_clip_region (PangoLayoutLine *line,
                                           gint x_origin,
                                           gint y_origin,
                                           const gint *index_ranges,
                                           gint n_ranges);

Obtains a clip region which contains the areas where the given ranges of text would be drawn. `x_origin` and `y_origin` are the same position you would pass to `gdk_draw_layout_line()`. `index_ranges` should contain ranges of bytes in the layout's text. The clip region will include space to the left or right of the line (to the layout bounding box) if you have indexes above or below the indexes contained inside the line. This is to draw the selection all the way to the side of the layout. However, the clip region is in line coordinates, not layout coordinates.

Note that the regions returned correspond to logical extents of the text ranges, not ink extents. So the drawn line may in fact touch areas out of the clip region. The clip region is mainly useful for highlightling parts of text, such as when text is selected.

#### Parameters

line | a PangoLayoutLine |
x_origin | X pixel where you intend to draw the layout line with this clip |
y_origin | baseline pixel where you intend to draw the layout line with this clip |
index_ranges | array of byte indexes into the layout, where even members of array are start indexes and odd elements are end indexes |
n_ranges | number of ranges in `index_ranges` , i.e. half the size of `index_ranges` |

#### Returns

a clip region containing the given ranges

## Types and Values

### struct GdkPangoRenderer

    struct GdkPangoRenderer;

GdkPangoRenderer is a subclass of PangoRenderer used for rendering Pango objects into GDK drawables. The default renderer for a particular screen is obtained with `gdk_pango_renderer_get_default()`; Pango functions like `pango_renderer_draw_layout()` and `pango_renderer_draw_layout_line()` are then used to draw objects with the renderer.

In most simple cases, applications can just use `gdk_draw_layout()`, and don't need to directly use GdkPangoRenderer at all. Using the GdkPangoRenderer directly is most useful when working with a transformation such as a rotation, because the Pango drawing functions take user space coordinates (coordinates before the transformation) instead of device coordinates.

In certain cases it can be useful to subclass GdkPangoRenderer. Examples of reasons to do this are to add handling of custom attributes by overriding 'prepare_run' or to do custom drawing of embedded objects by overriding 'draw_shape'.
