Pango render

This function is part of the Pango library.

Syntax

INT pango_render ( <STRING markup> )

Description

Returns a graphic with the specified markup rendered on it. The markup is expected to be a UTF-8 encoded string; markup accepted by the Pango BennuGD binding is the same as upstream Pango's and can be consulted here.

In case of failure, a 0x0 sized graphic will be returned.

After usage, unload the graphic with map_unload().

Parameters

STRING markup

- The markup to render to a graphic.

Returns

INT : GraphID

0	- There was some error. Pango tends to drop error on stdout, so check your terminal for them.
>0	- The graphID of a new graphic with the specified markup rendered on it.

Example

import "mod_say";
import "mod_key";
import "mod_video";
import "mod_map";
import "mod_mouse";
import "mod_text";

import "pango";

Process main()
Private
    int retval=0;
    string markup = '<span foreground="blue" background="black">e=mc<sup>2</sup></span>';
Begin

    set_mode(640, 480, 32, MODE_WINDOW);

    // If given and argument, render that instead of the default text
    if(argc == 2)
        markup = '<span font_family="Serif" size="xx-large" foreground="blue" background="black"><u>'+argv[1]+'</u></span>';
    end;

    say("Going to render:");
    say(markup);

    // Render the markup and move it with the mouse
    graph = pango_render(markup);
    write_var(0, 0, 0, 0, x);
    write_var(0, 0, 10, 0, y);

    // Wait for escape key
    while(! key(_ESC))
        x = mouse.x;
        y = mouse.y;
        FRAME;
    End;

OnExit

    unload_map(0, graph);

End
