set_base_dir

Sets the base direction for the context.

The base direction is used in applying the Unicode bidirectional algorithm; if the direction is pango_direction_ltr or pango_direction_rtl, then the value will be used as the paragraph direction in the Unicode bidirectional algorithm. A value of pango_direction_weak_ltr or pango_direction_weak_rtl is used only for paragraphs that do not contain any strong characters themselves.
