Name
ccontext:PangoLayout -- create Pango layout
Synopsis
handle = ccontext:PangoLayout()
Function
Creates a Pango layout 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 playout:GetSize() or drawing with functions like ccontext:ShowLayout(). If you change the transformation or target surface for the Cairo context, you need to call ccontext:UpdateLayout().

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

Inputs
none

Results
handle
the newly created Pango layout
