Pango.Font.get_glyph_extents
Description: Reference for Pango.Font.get_glyph_extents

### Virtual Method

# Pango Fontget_glyph_extents

#### Declaration [src]

    void
    get_glyph_extents (
      PangoFont* font,
      PangoGlyph glyph,
      PangoRectangle* ink_rect,
      PangoRectangle* logical_rect
    )

#### Description [src]

Gets the logical and ink extents of a glyph within a font.

The coordinate system for each rectangle has its origin at the base line and horizontal origin of the character with increasing coordinates extending to the right and down. The macros PANGO_ASCENT(), PANGO_DESCENT(), PANGO_LBEARING(), and PANGO_RBEARING() can be used to convert from the extents rectangle to more traditional font metrics. The units of the rectangles are in 1/PANGO_SCALE of a device unit.

If `font` is `NULL`, this function gracefully sets some sane values in the output variables and returns.

#### Parameters

`glyph` | `PangoGlyph`
| The glyph index.
`ink_rect` | `PangoRectangle`
| Rectangle used to store the extents of the glyph as drawn.
| The argument will be set by the function.
| The argument can be `NULL`.
| The data is owned by the caller of the function.
`logical_rect` | `PangoRectangle`
| Rectangle used to store the logical extents of the glyph.
| The argument will be set by the function.
| The argument can be `NULL`.
| The data is owned by the caller of the function.
