Function

Pango-1.0Pangoshape_fullSince 1.32

  • Convert the characters in text into glyphs.

    Given a segment of text and the corresponding Pango.Analysis structure returned from Pango.itemize, convert the characters into glyphs. You may also pass in only a substring of the item from Pango.itemize.

    This is similar to Pango.shape, except it also can optionally take the full paragraph text as input, which will then be used to perform certain cross-item shaping interactions. If you have access to the broader text of which item_text is part of, provide the broader text as paragraph_text. If paragraph_text is null, item text is used instead.

    Some aspects of hyphen insertion and text transformation (in particular, capitalization) require log attrs, and thus can only be handled by Pango.shape_item.

    Note that the extra attributes in the analyis that is returned from Pango.itemize have indices that are relative to the entire paragraph, so you do not pass the full paragraph text as paragraph_text, you need to subtract the item offset from their indices before calling Pango.shape_full.
