Method

GtkLabelget_layout

Declaration [src]

PangoLayout*
gtk_label_get_layout (
  GtkLabel* self
)

Description [src]

Gets the PangoLayout used to display the label.

The layout is useful to e.g. convert text positions to pixel positions, in combination with gtk_label_get_layout_offsets(). The returned layout is owned by the label so need not be freed by the caller. The label is free to recreate its layout at any time, so it should be considered read-only.

Return value

Type: PangoLayout

The PangoLayout for this label.

The returned data is owned by the instance.
