    <title>Description</title>

    <para>Pango is the text layout system used by PyGTK (via GDK and
GTK+). The functions and types in this section are used to render Pango
objects to <link
linkend="class-gdkdrawable"><classname>gtk.gdk.Drawable</classname></link>
objects, and also extend the set of Pango attributes to include stippling
and embossing.</para>

    <para>Creating a <link
linkend="class-pangolayout"><classname>pango.Layout</classname></link>
object is the first step in rendering text, and requires getting a handle to
a <link
linkend="class-pangocontext"><classname>pango.Context</classname></link>.
For PyGTK programs, you'll usually want to use the <link
linkend="method-gtkwidget--get-pango-context"><methodname>gtk.Widget.get_pango_context</methodname>()</link>
method, or the <link
linkend="method-gtkwidget--create-pango-layout"><methodname>create_pango_layout</methodname>()</link>)
method, rather than using the lowlevel <link
linkend="function-gdk--gdk-pango-context-get-for-screen"><function>gtk.gdk.gdk_pango_context_get_for_screen</function>()</link>
function. Once you have a <link
linkend="class-pangolayout"><classname>pango.Layout</classname></link>, you
can set the text and attributes of it with Pango methods like <link
linkend="method-pangolayout--set-text"><methodname>pango.Layout.set_text</methodname>()</link>
and get its size using the <link
linkend="method-pangolayout--get-size"><methodname>get_size</methodname>()</link>
method. (Note that Pango uses a fixed point system internally, so convert
between Pango units and pixels using <literal>pango.SCALE</literal> or the
<link
linkend="function-pango--PIXELS"><function>pango.PIXELS</function>()</link>
function.)</para>

    <para>Rendering a Pango layout is done most simply with the <link
linkend="method-gdkdrawable--draw-layout"><methodname>draw_layout</methodname>()</link>
method; you can also draw pieces of the layout with the <link
linkend="method-gdkdrawable--draw-layout"><methodname>draw_layout</methodname>()</link>
method or the <link
linkend="method-gdkdrawable--draw-glyphs"><methodname>draw_glyphs</methodname>()</link>
method.</para>

    <para><link
linkend="class-gdkpangorenderer"><classname>gtk.gdk.PangoRenderer</classname></link>
is a subclass of <link
linkend="class-pangorenderer"><classname>pango.Renderer</classname></link>
that is used internally to implement these functions. Using it directly or
subclassing it can be useful in some cases. The default renderer for a
particular screen is obtained with the <link
linkend="function-gdk--gdk-pango-renderer-get-default"><function>gtk.gdk.gdk_pango_renderer_get_default</function>()</link>
function. Pango methods like <link
linkend="method-pangorenderer--draw-layout"><methodname>pango.Renderer.draw_layout</methodname>()</link>
and <link
linkend="method-pangorenderer--draw-layout-line"><methodname>pango.Renderer.draw_layout_line</methodname>()</link>
are then used to draw objects with the renderer.</para>

    <para>In most simple cases, applications can just use the <link
linkend="method-gdkdrawable--draw-layout"><methodname>draw_layout</methodname>()</link>
method, and don't need to directly use <link
linkend="class-gdkpangorenderer"><classname>gtk.gdk.PangoRenderer</classname></link>
at all. Using the <link
linkend="class-gdkpangorenderer"><classname>gtk.gdk.PangoRenderer</classname></link>
directly is most useful when working with a transformation such as a
rotation, because the Pango drawing functions take user space coordinates
(coordinates before the transformation) instead of device
coordinates.</para>

    <para>In certain cases it can be useful to subclass <link
linkend="class-gdkpangorenderer"><classname>gtk.gdk.PangoRenderer</classname></link>. Examples
of reasons to do this are to add handling of custom attributes by overriding
'prepare_run' or to do custom drawing of embedded objects by overriding
'draw_shape'.</para>
