Package: pango

GEnum pango:gravity-hint

Declaration

(gobject:define-genum "PangoGravityHint" gravity-hint
  (:export t
   :type-initializer "pango_gravity_hint_get_type")
  (:natural 0)
  (:strong 1)
  (:line 2))

Values

:natural
Scripts will take their natural gravity based on the base gravity and the script. This is the default.
:strong
Always use the base gravity set, regardless of the script.
:line
For scripts not in their natural direction, for example, Latin in East gravity, choose per-script gravity such that every script respects the line progression. This means, Latin and Arabic will take opposite gravities and both flow top-to-bottom for example.

Details

The pango:gravity-hint enumeration defines how horizontal scripts should behave in a vertical context. That is, English excerpt in a vertical paragraph for example.
