gtk-widget-create-pango-layout (widget text)

widget -- a gtk-widget object
text -- a string with the text to set on the layout, can be nil

The new pango-layout object.

Creates a new pango-layout object with the appropriate font map, font description, and base direction for drawing text for this widget.

If you keep a pango-layout object created in this way around, in order to notify the layout of changes to the base direction or font of this widget, you must call the pango-layout-context-changed function in response to the "style-updated" and "direction-changed" signals for the widget.
