Layout.serialize

glib.bytes.Bytes serialize(pango.types.LayoutSerializeFlags flags)

Serializes the layout for later deserialization via [pango.layout.Layout.deserialize].

There are no guarantees about the format of the output across different versions of Pango and [pango.layout.Layout.deserialize] will reject data that it cannot parse.

The intended use of this function is testing, benchmarking and debugging. The format is not meant as a permanent storage format.

Parameters

flags [pango.types.LayoutSerializeFlags]

Returns

a [glib.bytes.Bytes] containing the serialized form of layout
