.. currentmodule:: gi.repository.Pango





.. class:: Attribute(*args, **kwargs)
   :no-contents-entry:






The ``PangoAttribute`` structure represents the common portions of all
attributes.

Particular types of attributes include this structure as their initial
portion. The common portion of the attribute holds the range to which
the value in the type-specific part of the attribute applies and should
be initialized using :obj:`~gi.repository.Pango.Attribute.init`\. By default, an attribute
will have an all-inclusive range of [0,%G_MAXUINT].




Methods
-------

.. rst-class:: interim-class

.. class:: Attribute
   :no-index:


   .. method:: as_color() -> ~gi.repository.Pango.AttrColor | None

      Returns the attribute cast to ``PangoAttrColor``\.

      This is mainly useful for language bindings.


      .. versionadded:: 1.50








   .. method:: as_float() -> ~gi.repository.Pango.AttrFloat | None

      Returns the attribute cast to ``PangoAttrFloat``\.

      This is mainly useful for language bindings.


      .. versionadded:: 1.50








   .. method:: as_font_desc() -> ~gi.repository.Pango.AttrFontDesc | None

      Returns the attribute cast to ``PangoAttrFontDesc``\.

      This is mainly useful for language bindings.


      .. versionadded:: 1.50








   .. method:: as_font_features() -> ~gi.repository.Pango.AttrFontFeatures | None

      Returns the attribute cast to ``PangoAttrFontFeatures``\.

      This is mainly useful for language bindings.


      .. versionadded:: 1.50








   .. method:: as_int() -> ~gi.repository.Pango.AttrInt | None

      Returns the attribute cast to ``PangoAttrInt``\.

      This is mainly useful for language bindings.


      .. versionadded:: 1.50








   .. method:: as_language() -> ~gi.repository.Pango.AttrLanguage | None

      Returns the attribute cast to ``PangoAttrLanguage``\.

      This is mainly useful for language bindings.


      .. versionadded:: 1.50








   .. method:: as_shape() -> ~gi.repository.Pango.AttrShape | None

      Returns the attribute cast to ``PangoAttrShape``\.

      This is mainly useful for language bindings.


      .. versionadded:: 1.50








   .. method:: as_size() -> ~gi.repository.Pango.AttrSize | None

      Returns the attribute cast to ``PangoAttrSize``\.

      This is mainly useful for language bindings.


      .. versionadded:: 1.50








   .. method:: as_string() -> ~gi.repository.Pango.AttrString | None

      Returns the attribute cast to ``PangoAttrString``\.

      This is mainly useful for language bindings.


      .. versionadded:: 1.50








   .. method:: destroy() -> None

      Destroy a ``PangoAttribute`` and free all associated memory.









   .. method:: equal(attr2: ~gi.repository.Pango.Attribute) -> bool

      Compare two attributes for equality.

      This compares only the actual value of the two
      attributes and not the ranges that the attributes
      apply to.






      :param attr2: another ``PangoAttribute``




   .. method:: init(klass: ~gi.repository.Pango.AttrClass) -> None

      Initializes ``attr``\'s klass to ``klass``\, it's start_index to
      :const:`~gi.repository.Pango.ATTR_INDEX_FROM_TEXT_BEGINNING` and end_index to
      :const:`~gi.repository.Pango.ATTR_INDEX_TO_TEXT_END` such that the attribute applies
      to the entire text by default.


      .. versionadded:: 1.20





      :param klass: a ``PangoAttrClass``
