Pango.Layout.get_extents
Description: Reference for Pango.Layout.get_extents

### Method

# Pango.Layout.get_extents

#### Declaration [src]

    void
    pango_layout_get_extents (
      PangoLayout* layout,
      PangoRectangle* ink_rect,
      PangoRectangle* logical_rect
    )

#### Description [src]

Computes the logical and ink extents of `layout`.

Logical extents are usually what you want for positioning things. Note that both extents may have non-zero x and y. You may want to use those to offset where you render the layout. Not doing that is a very typical bug that shows up as right-to-left layouts not being correctly positioned in a layout with a set width.

The extents are given in layout coordinates and in Pango units; layout coordinates begin at the top left corner of the layout.

#### Parameters

`ink_rect` | `PangoRectangle`
| rectangle used to store the extents of the layout as drawn or `NULL` to indicate that the result is not needed.
| Direction: out
| Ownership is not transferred to the callee
`logical_rect` | `PangoRectangle`
| rectangle used to store the logical extents of the layout or `NULL` to indicate that the result is not needed.
| Direction: out
| Ownership is not transferred to the callee
