Hi!
You can use
context = gdk_pango_context_get ();
layout = pango_layout_new (context);
pango_layout_set_alignment (layout, PANGO_ALIGN_LEFT);
pango_layout_set_markup (layout, str, -1);
gdk_draw_layout (drawable, gc, x, y, layout);
where str is pango markup text for example
some text
regar
Pango probably is "the right way to do it;" an alternative is to use
Cairo's "toy text API," described here:
http://www.cairographics.org/manual/cairo-Text.html
This has a pretty straightforward approach, e.g.:
...
cairo_select_font_face(cr, "Trebuchet MS",
CAIRO_FONT_WEIGHT_BOLD, CAIRO_FON
Hi together,
I (only) want to draw a red text "Example" or whatever in the middle of
a GtkDrawable.
First I looked at gdk_draw_text.
I did not find out how to draw a text in a specific color.
And the other problem is that the documentation says that it is deprecated.
I should use Pango rendering
