ascent

Type

int

ascent_get()

char_coords_get(x, y)

Retrieve position and dimension information of a character at desired position.

Like char_pos_get(), but instead of providing the character index one can give its position.

Parameters

• x –

• y –

Return type

(int x, int y, int w, int h)

char_pos_get(char_index)

Retrieve position and dimension information of a character.

This function is used to obtain the x, y, width and height of a the character located at char_index within this object.

Parameters

char_index – index of desired character.

Return type

(int x, int y, int w, int h)

descent

Type

int

descent_get()

font

Set the font family and size on a given text object.

Parameters

• font – The font (family) name.

• size – The font size, in points.

This function allows the font name and size of a text object to be set. The font string has to follow fontconfig’s convention on naming fonts, as it’s the underlying library used to query system fonts by Evas (see the fc-list command’s output, on your system, to get an idea).

font_source

font_get()

font_set(font, size=10)

font_source

Set the font (source) file to be used on a given text object.

Parameters

font – The font file’s path.

This function allows the font file to be explicitly set for a given text object, overriding system lookup, which will first occur in the given file’s contents.
