Description

Details

PangoEngineShape

typedef struct _PangoEngineShape PangoEngineShape;

The PangoEngineShape class is implemented by engines that customize the rendering-system dependent part of the Pango pipeline for a particular script or language. A PangoEngineShape implementation is then specific to both a particular rendering system or group of rendering systems and to a particular script. For instance, there is one PangoEngineShape implementation to handling shaping Arabic for Fontconfig-based backends.

PangoEngineShapeClass

typedef struct {
  void (*script_shape) (PangoEngineShape *engine,
			PangoFont        *font,
			const char       *text,
			int               length,
			PangoAnalysis    *analysis,
			PangoGlyphString *glyphs);
  PangoCoverageLevel (*covers)   (PangoEngineShape *engine,
				  PangoFont        *font,
				  PangoLanguage    *language,
				  gunichar          wc);
} PangoEngineShapeClass;

Class structure for PangoEngineShape

script_shape () Given a font, a piece of text, and a PangoAnalysis structure, converts characters to glyphs and positions the resulting glyphs. The results are stored in the PangoGlyphString that is passed in. (The implementation should resize it appropriately using pango_glyph_string_set_size()). All fields of the log_clusters and glyphs array must be filled in, with the exception that Pango will automatically generate glyphs->glyphs[i].attr.is_cluster_start using the log_clusters array. Each input character must occur in one of the output logical clusters; if no rendering is desired for a character, this may involve inserting glyphs with the PangoGlyph ID 0, which is guaranteed never to render.

covers () Returns the characters that this engine can cover with a given font for a given language. If not overridden, the default implementation simply returns the coverage information for the font itself unmodified.

PANGO_ENGINE_TYPE_SHAPE

#define PANGO_ENGINE_TYPE_SHAPE "PangoEngineShape"

A string constant defining the engine type for shaping engines. These engines derive from PangoEngineShape.

PANGO_ENGINE_SHAPE_DEFINE_TYPE()

#define     PANGO_ENGINE_SHAPE_DEFINE_TYPE(name, prefix, class_init, instance_init)

Outputs the necessary code for GObject type registration for a PangoEngineShape class defined in a module. Two static symbols are defined.

 static GType prefix_type;
 static void prefix_register_type (GTypeModule module);

The prefix, _register_type() function should be called in your script_engine_init() function for each type that your module implements, and then your script_engine_create() function can create instances of the object as follows:

 PangoEngine *engine = g_object_new (prefix_type, NULL);

`name` :	Name of the the type to register (for example:, `ArabicEngineFc`
`prefix` :	Prefix for symbols that will be defined (for example:, `arabic_engine_fc`
`class_init` :	Class initialization function for the new type, or `NULL`
`instance_init` :	Instance initialization function for the new type, or `NULL`
