Description [src]

Creates a context object set up to match the current transformation and target surface of the Cairo context.

This context can then be used to create a layout using pango_layout_new().

This function is a convenience function that creates a context using the default font map, then updates it to cr. If you just need to create a layout for use with cr and do not need to access PangoContext directly, you can use pango_cairo_create_layout() instead.
