Newby pango problem

[Friedrich Dimmling]

Hi,

I would like to use pango.layout to display text in a pygtk2 project.
However I could not manage to get the pango.layout object incorporated
in my toplevel gtk.Window and have it displayed.

If anyone could help me either with a minimal example like 'Hello World'
displayed in italics in an pango.layout or the URL to a tutorial where I
can find the relevant infos (the PyGtk tutorial seems not to contain it,
unless I'm really blind)

Here is pango_demo.py from my pygtk examples dir. I wrote this a long
time ago, so it may not be the best or most modern usage, but it may
help you along your way

from __future__ import division
import pygtk
pygtk.require(' 2.0')
import gtk
from gtk import gdk
import pango

win = gtk.Window()
win.show()
vbox = gtk.VBox()
vbox.show()
win.add(vbox)

figsize = 4,4
dpi = 72

def draw(widget):

gc = widget.window.n ew_gc()

context = widget.create_p ango_context()
layout = widget.create_p ango_layout('So me Text')
desc = pango.FontDescr iption('Times 14')
layout.set_font _description(de sc)

widget.window.d raw_layout(gc, x=100, y=200, layout=layout)
widget.window.d raw_rectangle( gc, 1, 100,100,100,100 )

def configure_event (widget, event):
global pixmap
pixmap = gtk.gdk.Pixmap( widget.window, 500, 500)
draw(widget)

return gtk.TRUE

def expose_event(wi dget, event):
draw(widget)
return gtk.TRUE

da = gtk.DrawingArea ()
da.connect('con figure_event', configure_event )
da.connect('exp ose_event', configure_event )

da.set_size_req uest(figsize[0]*dpi, figsize[1]*dpi)
da.show()
vbox.pack_start (da, gtk.TRUE, gtk.TRUE)

def byebye(button):
pixbuf = gtk.gdk.Pixbuf( gtk.gdk.COLORSP ACE_RGB, 0, 8,
500,500)
pixbuf.get_from _drawable(pixma p, pixmap.get_colo rmap(),
0, 0, 0, 0, 500, 500)

pixbuf.save('so mefile.png', 'png')
gtk.mainquit()

button = gtk.Button('Qui t')
button.show()
vbox.pack_start (button, gtk.TRUE, gtk.TRUE)
button.connect( 'clicked', byebye)

gtk.mainloop()

Hi John,

it helped me along my way by pointing to the right section in the PyGtk
Tutorial. Thanks
