Example: Simple text:
public static int main (string[] args) {
// Create a context:
Cairo.ImageSurface surface = new Cairo.ImageSurface (Cairo.Format.ARGB32, 180, 40);
Cairo.Context context = new Cairo.Context (surface);
// Text:
context.set_source_rgb (0.1, 0.1, 0.1);
context.select_font_face ("Adventure", Cairo.FontSlant.NORMAL, Cairo.FontWeight.BOLD);
context.set_font_size (20);
context.move_to (20, 30);
context.show_text ("Indiana Jones");
// Save the image:
surface.write_to_png ("img.png");
return 0;
}
