Value | Meaning |
---|---|
SOUTH0 | Glyphs stand upright (default) <img align="right" valign="center" src="m-south.png"> |
EAST1 | Glyphs are rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise. <img align="right" valign="center" src="m-east.png"> |
NORTH2 | Glyphs are upside-down. <img align="right" valign="cener" src="m-north.png"> |
WEST3 | Glyphs are rotated 90 degrees clockwise. <img align="right" valign="center" src="m-west.png"> |
AUTO4 | Gravity is resolved from the context matrix |
PangoGravity represents the orientation of glyphs in a segment of text.
This is useful when rendering vertical text layouts. In those situations, the layout is rotated using a non-identity [struct@Pango.Matrix], and then glyph orientation is controlled using PangoGravity.
Not every value in this enumeration makes sense for every usage of PangoGravity; for example, %PANGO_GRAVITY_AUTO only can be passed to [method@Pango.Context.set_base_gravity] and can only be returned by [method@Pango.Context.get_base_gravity].
