pango:cairo-create-context (cr)

cr -- a cairo:context-t instance

The newly created pango:context object.

Creates a Pango context set up to match the current transformation and target surface of the Cairo context. This Pango context can then be used to create a Pango layout using the pango:layout-new function.

This function is a convenience function that creates a Pango context using the default font map, then updates it to the Cairo context. If you just need to create a Pango layout for use with the Cairo context and do not need to access the pango:context object directly, you can use the pango:cairo-create-layout function instead.
