    def bbox(transform, flags, bbox)

transform :

flags :

 should be 0 for now.

bbox :

Returns :

 bbox or None on error.

The bbox() method gets ink dimensions of transformed glyphlist Flags are to specify user preferences, should be 0 for now.

    def color(color)

color :

 the color in the form RRGGBBAA.

The color() method specify the color as RRGGBBAA to be used for the glyphs that follow.

The moveto() method position manually the glyph following.

gnomeprint.Glyphlist.rmoveto

gnomeprint.Glyphlist.text_dumb

    def text_dumb(text)

text :

The text_dumb() method

Functions

gnomeprint.glyphlist_from_text_dumb

    def gnomeprint.glyphlist_from_text_dumb(font, color, kerning, letterspace, text)

font :

color :

kerning :

letterspace :

text :

Returns :

The glyphlist_from_text_dumb() function appends utf8 text, converting it to glyphs and connecting it as specified by rules. You cannot expect anything about language-specific typesetting rules, so if the given script does not use trivial placement, you should better avoid this.
