Context


Description:

[ CCode ( has_construct_function = false ) ]
public Context ()

Creates a new `PangoContext` initialized to default values.

This function is not particularly useful as it should always be followed by a [method@Pango.Context.set_font_map] call, and the function [ method@Pango.FontMap.create_context] does these two steps together and hence users are recommended to use that.

If you are using Pango as part of a higher-level system, that system may have it's own way of create a `PangoContext`. For instance, the GTK toolkit has, among others, `gtk_widget_get_pango_context()`. Use those instead.

Returns:

the newly allocated `PangoContext`, which should be freed with unref.
