pangomm Reference Manual

## description

pangomm is the official C++ interface for the Pango font layout library. See, for instance, the Pango::Layout class.

## basics

Include the pangomm header:

     #include <pangomm.h>

This includes every header installed by pangomm, so can slow down compilation, but suffices for this simple example. Assuming that your program source file is `program.cc`, compile it with:

     g++ program.cc -o program `pkg-config --cflags --libs pangomm-1.4`

Alternatively, if using autoconf, use the following in `configure.ac:`

     PKG_CHECK_MODULES([PANGOMM], [pangomm-1.4])

Then use the generated `PANGOMM_CFLAGS` and `PANGOMM_LIBS` variables in the project `Makefile.am` files. For example:

     program_CPPFLAGS = $(PANGOMM_CFLAGS)
     program_LDADD = $(PANGOMM_LIBS)
