Hi all, I'm getting troubled with pangomm, which is ( almost ) badly documented; there isn't a cairomm mailing list, nor a pangomm one, so I'm writing here. Well, pangomm has two methods to draw in a Cairo::Context :
1 - [ show_in_cairo_context() ] 2 - [ add_to_cairo_context() ] As far as I know ( perhaps I'm wrong ) the first one will directly draw in the cairo context, the second one, instead, will push the drawing job into the stack of Cairo::Context, then the text will be drawn only if Cairo::Context::stroke() is called. Anyway the text is drawn in a quite different way, with method (1) the drawn text is clear and readable, close to the one which you read in a browser, or here. With method (2), instead, the drawn text is almost not readable ( not matter what font you choose, with a dimension of ~8, it's really bad ) owing to the huge "lines" which build up the font. Now I'm asking : what are the real differences between these two methods ? _______________________________________________ gtkmm-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtkmm-list
