Layout Objects
Highlevel layout driver objects
While complete access to the layout capabilities of Pango is provided
using the detailed interfaces for itemization and shaping, using
that functionality directly involves writing a fairly large amount
of code. The objects and functions in this structure provide a
high-level driver for formatting entire paragraphs of text
at once.
The #PangoLayout structure represents and entire paragraph
of text. It is initialized with a #PangoContext, UTF-8 string
and set of attributes for that string. Once that is done, the
set of formatted lines can be extracted from the object,
the layout can be rendered, and conversion between logical
character positions within the layout's text, and the physical
position of the resulting glyphs can be made.
There are also a number of parameters to adjust the formatting
of a #PangoLayout, which are illustrated in .
It is possible, as well, to ignore the 2-D setup, and simply
treat the results of a #PangoLayout as a list of lines.
Adjustable parameters for a PangoLayout
The #PangoLayout structure is opaque, and has no user-visible
fields.
A PangoLayoutIter structure can be used to
iterate over the visual extents of a #PangoLayout.
The PangoLayoutIter structure is opaque, and
has no user-visible fields.

using pango_layout_set_justify(), then this only has an effect
for partial lines.

@PANGO_ALIGN_RIGHT: Put all available space on the left

The #PangoLayoutLine structure represents one of the lines resulting
from laying out a paragraph via #PangoLayout. #PangoLayoutLine
structures are obtained by calling pango_layout_get_line() and
are only valid until the text, attributes, or settings of the
parent #PangoLayout are modified.
Routines for rendering PangoLayout objects are provided in
code specific to each rendering system.
@layout: the parent layout for this line.
@start_index:
@length: the length of the line in bytes.
@runs: a list containing the runs of the line in visual order.
The #PangoLayoutRun structure represents a single run within
a #PangoLayoutLine; it is simply an alternate name for
#PangoGlyphItem, present for backwards compatibility.
See the #PangoGlyphItem docs for details on the fields.
