Enum Pango.Direction

GIR File:	Pango-1.0.gir
C documentation:	Pango.Direction
Enum :	Direction

The PangoDirection type represents a direction in the Unicode bidirectional algorithm; not every value in this enumeration makes sense for every usage of PangoDirection; for example, the return value of pango_unichar_direction() and pango_find_base_dir() cannot be PANGO_DIRECTION_WEAK_LTR or PANGO_DIRECTION_WEAK_RTL, since every character is either neutral or has a strong direction; on the other hand PANGO_DIRECTION_NEUTRAL doesn't make sense to pass to pango_itemize_with_base_dir(). The PANGO_DIRECTION_TTB_LTR, PANGO_DIRECTION_TTB_RTL values come from an earlier interpretation of this enumeration as the writing direction of a block of text and are no longer used; See PangoGravity for how vertical text is handled in Pango.

Used by These Methods / Signals / Properties
Class / Namespace	Method / Signal / Properties
Gdk.Keymap Method	get_direction () : Pango.Direction
Pango Method	Pango.find_base_dir (String *text, Number length*) : Pango.Direction Searches a string the first character that has a strong direction, according to the Unicode bidirectional algorithm.
Pango Method	Pango.log2vis_get_embedding_levels (String *text, Number length, Direction pbase_dir*) : String This will return the bidirectional embedding levels of the input paragraph as defined by the Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm available at: http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr9/ If the input base direction is a weak direction, the direction of the characters in the text will determine the final resolved direction.
Pango Method	Pango.unichar_direction (Number ch) : Pango.Direction Determines the inherent direction of a character; either PANGO_DIRECTION_LTR, PANGO_DIRECTION_RTL, or PANGO_DIRECTION_NEUTRAL.
Pango.Context Method	set_base_dir (Direction *direction*) : none Sets the base direction for the context.
Pango.Context Method	get_base_dir () : Pango.Direction Retrieves the base direction for the context.
