Better text support
|
|
|

|
This snapshot provides much better text support by implementing the
|
|
|
|
|
following four functions:
|
|
|
|
|
|
2003-12-16 08:27:17 +00:00
|
|
|
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.

Combined dependencies
|
|
|
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
|
The cairo code now depends only on the libpixman library. This single
|
|
|
|
|
library replaces the three previous libraries libic, libpixregion, and
|
|
|
|
|
slim. Thanks to Dave Beckett <dave.beckett@bristol.ac.uk> for all of
|
|
|
|
|
the heavy lifting with this renaming effort.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Conditional compilation of backends
|
|
|
|
|
-----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
Cairo now allows optional beckends to be disabled at compile time. The
|
|
|
|
|
following options may now be passed to the configure script:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
--disable-xlib
|
|
|
|
|
--disable-ps
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that the first option is a change from the old --without-x option
|
|
|
|
|
which will no longer have any effect.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
OS X supported - several byte-order issues resolved
|
|
|
|
|
---------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
Cairo has now been successfully compiled under OS X. Testing revealed
|
|
|
|
|
that there were some byte-order problems in the PostScript backend and
|
|
|
|
|
the PNG generation in the demos. These have now been resolved.
