Package libavg :: Module avg :: Class Words

Class Words

A words node displays formatted text. Rendering is done by pango. All properties are set in pixels. International and multi-byte character sets are fully supported. Words nodes should use UTF-8 to encode international characters.

stretch

One of 'ultracondensed', 'extracondensed', 'condensed', 'semicondensed', 'normal', 'semiexpanded', 'expanded', 'extraexpanded' and 'ultraexpanded'. Not implemented in most fonts.

text

The string to display. In the avg file, this is either the text attribute of the words node or the content of the words node itself. In the second case, the string can be formatted using the pango text attribute markup language described at http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/pango/PangoMarkupFormat.html. Markup can also be used if the text is set using python.

weight

Sets the character weight. Possible values are 'ultralight', 'light', 'normal', 'semibold', 'bold', 'ultrabold' and 'heavy'. This value is mapped to the weights implemented in the font chosen. In most cases, working weights are limited to 'normal' and 'bold'.
