<para>
Pango is the text layout system used by GDK and GTK+. The functions
and types in this section are used to obtain clip regions for
#PangoLayouts, and to get #PangoContexts that can be used with
GDK.
</para>
<para>
Creating a #PangoLayout object is the first step in rendering text,
and requires getting a handle to a #PangoContext. For GTK+ programs,
you'll usually want to use gtk_widget_get_pango_context(), or
gtk_widget_create_pango_layout(), rather than using the lowlevel
gdk_pango_context_get_for_screen(). Once you have a #PangoLayout, you
can set the text and attributes of it with Pango functions like
pango_layout_set_text() and get its size with pango_layout_get_size().
(Note that Pango uses a fixed point system internally, so converting
between Pango units and pixels using <link
linkend="PANGO-SCALE-CAPS">PANGO_SCALE</link> or the PANGO_PIXELS() macro.)
</para>
<para>
Rendering a Pango layout is done most simply with pango_cairo_show_layout();
you can also draw pieces of the layout with pango_cairo_show_layout_line().
