Pango(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Pango(3) NAME
Pango - Layout and render international text SYNOPSIS
my $surface = Cairo::ImageSurface->create ('argb32', 200, 100); my $cr = Cairo::Context->create ($surface); my $layout = Pango::Cairo::create_layout ($cr); $layout->set_text ("x{03A0}x{03B1}x{03BD}x{8A9E}"); my $font = Pango::FontDescription->from_string ('Serif Bold 27'); $layout->set_font_description ($font); Pango::Cairo::show_layout($cr, $layout); $surface->write_to_png ('pango.png'); ABSTRACT
Pango is a library for laying out and rendering text, with an emphasis on internationalization. Pango can be used anywhere that text layout is needed, but using Pango in conjunction with Cairo and/or Gtk2 provides a complete solution with high quality text handling and graphics rendering. Dynamically loaded modules handle text layout for particular combinations of script and font backend. Pango provides a wide selection of modules, including modules for Hebrew, Arabic, Hangul, Thai, and a number of Indic scripts. Virtually all of the world's major scripts are supported. In addition to the low level layout rendering routines, Pango includes Pango::Layout, a high level driver for laying out entire blocks of text, and routines to assist in editing internationalized text. [Adapted from <http://www.pango.org/>.] DOCUMENTATION
Pango tries to stick very close in spirit to the C API of the underlying pango library. Thus, the manual available at <http://library.gnome.org/devel/pango/stable/> also applies to this module. Additionally, API listings in POD form are generated during compilation for each of the sub-modules. An index of those POD pages is available at Pango::index. SEE ALSO
perl, Glib, Cairo, Gtk2. Pango::index lists the autogenerated API documentation pod files for Pango. <http://www.pango.org/> is the homepage of the pango C library. Its API documentation is available at <http://library.gnome.org/devel/pango/stable/>. AUTHORS
