How do I do text wrapping in pyCairo + Pango?

Question

What I need pyCairo to do is :

• generate an image of size 100x100 containing some text and an image from filesystem as background
• the text should be within a box which has text wrapping of size 20x20 with bottom left corner at (40,40).
• save this image

Answer 1

You need to find a way to get the Pango context and set pango.Layout.set_wrap() and pango.Layout.set_width().
