cairoShowTextGlyphs {RGtk2} | R Documentation

## cairoShowTextGlyphs

### Description

This operation has rendering effects similar to `cairoShowGlyphs` but, if the target surface supports it, uses the provided text and cluster mapping to embed the text for the glyphs shown in the output. If the target does not support the extended attributes, this function acts like the basic `cairoShowGlyphs` as if it had been passed `glyphs` and `num.glyphs`.

### Usage

    cairoShowTextGlyphs(cr, utf8, glyphs, clusters, cluster.flags)

### Arguments

``cr`` | [`Cairo`] a cairo context
``utf8`` | [char] a string of text encoded in UTF-8
``glyphs`` | [`CairoGlyph`] list of glyphs to show
``clusters`` | [`CairoTextCluster`] list of cluster mapping information
``cluster.flags`` | [`CairoTextClusterFlags`] cluster mapping flags

### Details

The mapping between `utf8` and `glyphs` is provided by a list of clusters. Each cluster covers a number of text bytes and glyphs, and neighboring clusters cover neighboring areas of `utf8` and `glyphs`. The clusters should collectively cover `utf8` and `glyphs` in entirety.

The first cluster always covers bytes from the beginning of `utf8`. If `cluster.flags` do not have the `CAIRO_TEXT_CLUSTER_FLAG_BACKWARD` set, the first cluster also covers the beginning of `glyphs`, otherwise it covers the end of the `glyphs` list and following clusters move backward.

See `CairoTextCluster` for constraints on valid clusters. Since 1.8
