This snapshot provides much better text support by implementing the
|
|
|
|
|
following four functions:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
cairo_text_extents
|
|
|
|
|
cairo_glyph_extents
|
|
|
|
|
cairo_text_path
|
|
|
|
|
cairo_glyph_path
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The text/glyph_extents functions can be used to determine the bounding
|
|
|
|
|
box (and advance) for text as if drawn by show_text/glyphs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The text/glyph_path objects functions place text shapes on the current
|
|
|
|
|
path, where they can be subsequently manipulated. For example,
|
|
|
|
|
following these functions with cairo_stroke allows outline text to be
|
|
|
|
|
drawn. Calling cairo_clip allows clipping to a text-shaped region.
