CairoContext::textPath - The textPath purpose

       Object oriented style

SYNOPSIS

       public void CairoContext::textPath (string  $string)

DESCRIPTION

       Procedural style
       void cairo_text_path (CairoContext  $context, string  $text)

	Adds  closed  paths for text to the current path. The generated path, if filled, achieves an effect similar to that of CairoContext::show-
       Text.

	Text conversion and positioning is done similar to CairoContext::showText.

	Like CairoContext::showText, after this call the current point is moved to the origin of where the next glyph would be placed in this same
       progression.  That  is,	the  current point will be at the origin of the final glyph offset by its advance values. This allows for chaining
       multiple calls to CairoContext::showText without having to set current point in between.

	Note: The CairoContext::textPath function call is part of what the cairo designers call the "toy" text API. It	is  convenient	for  short
       demos  and  simple programs, but it is not expected to be adequate for serious text-using applications. See CairoContext::glyphPath for the
       "real" text path API in cairo.
