Name
ccontext:TextPath -- add text to path
Synopsis
ccontext:TextPath(s$)
Function
Adds closed paths for text to the current path. The generated path if filled, achieves an effect similar to that of ccontext:ShowText().

Text conversion and positioning is done similar to ccontext:ShowText().

Like ccontext:ShowText(), after this call the current point is moved to the origin of where the next glyph would be placed in this same progression. That is, the current point will be at the origin of the final glyph offset by its advance values. This allows for chaining multiple calls to to ccontext:TextPath() without having to set current point in between.

Note: The ccontext:TextPath() function call is part of what the Cairo designers call the "toy" text API. It is convenient for short demos and simple programs, but it is not expected to be adequate for serious text-using applications. See ccontext:GlyphPath() for the "real" text path API in Cairo.
