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

widget -- a gtk:widget object
text -- a string for the text to set on the Pango 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.
