cairo_create_layout

Creates a layout object set up to match the current transformation and target surface of the Cairo context.

This layout can then be used for text measurement with functions like [method@Pango.Layout.get_size] or drawing with functions like [ func@show_layout]. If you change the transformation or target surface for cr, you need to call [func@update_layout].

This function is the most convenient way to use Cairo with Pango, however it is slightly inefficient since it creates a separate `PangoContext` object for each layout. This might matter in an application that was laying out large amounts of text.

Parameters:

cr	a Cairo context

Returns:

the newly created `PangoLayout`
