NAME¶
Gtk2::Pango - constants for use with Pango
SYNOPSIS¶
use Gtk2; # gets the actual Pango objects and methods
use Gtk2::Pango; # load extra constants
DESCRIPTION¶
To use Pango effectively, you need a few extra constants that are not supplied
in normal ways by the type system or by other means.
This module exports all of those extra constants when you load it. They use the
fully-prefixed names from the C documentation.
EXPORT¶
PangoWeight is indeed defined as an enumerated type whose values can be used as
nickname strings in the perl bindings, but in several places where a weight is
needed, a gint is requested instead. This is because PangoWeight is actually
just a set of predefined values for an integer-valued property. The
PANGO_WEIGHT_* constants give you the predefined values:
PANGO_WEIGHT_ULTRALIGHT
PANGO_WEIGHT_LIGHT
PANGO_WEIGHT_NORMAL
PANGO_WEIGHT_BOLD
PANGO_WEIGHT_ULTRABOLD
PANGO_WEIGHT_HEAVY
These are #defined in the C source, and thus are not available anywhere except
here:
PANGO_SCALE_XX_SMALL
PANGO_SCALE_X_SMALL
PANGO_SCALE_SMALL
PANGO_SCALE_MEDIUM
PANGO_SCALE_LARGE
PANGO_SCALE_X_LARGE
PANGO_SCALE_XX_LARGE
PANGO_SCALE is needed to convert between Pango units and pixels. It is also
available as Gtk2::Pango->scale.
PANGO_SCALE
BUGS¶
This module shouldn't exist, but some parts of the API just aren't clean.
This stuff is hardcoded directly from the headers of pango 1.2.1.
