===============


.. class:: GraphicsFont(GraphicsObject)

   A ``GraphicsFont`` is an adapter to allow using :class:`wx.Font` with a
   :class:`GraphicsContext` when drawing text.

   .. method:: __init__(self)

      Constructs a new ``GraphicsFont``.
      
      .. note:: Currently user code should be using
         :meth:`CreateFromFont` instead of creating new ``GraphicsFont``
         instances themselves.


   .. method:: Apply(self, ctx, colour)

      Apply this font's properties to the given context.
      Called by :class:`GraphicsContext` as needed.


   .. staticmethod:: CreateFromFont(font, colour=None)

      Create a ``GraphicsFont from a :class:`wx.Font`.
      Currently this is the only way to construct a ``GraphicsFont``.
      
      :param wx.Font `font`: A ``wx.Font`` to use as a source of properties
          to be used when creating the Cairo font.
      :param wx.Colour `colour`: An optional colour to associate with the font.


   .. method:: IsNull(self)


   .. attribute:: Brush

      A ``GraphicsBrush`` to use for filling the text when using this
      font.  An alternative to using a plain colour.
      
      :type: :class:`GraphicsBrush`


   .. attribute:: Colour

      The color to be associated with this font.  It will be used as the
      fill when drawing text with this font.
      
      :type: :class:`wx.Colour`


   .. attribute:: PointSize

      The size in points of the font.
      
      :type: int or float
