+Title: Bidirectional and Vertical Text
+---
+
+# Bidirectional Text
+
+Pango supports bidirectional text (like Arabic and Hebrew) automatically.
+Some applications however, need some help to correctly handle bidirectional text.
+
+The [enum@Pango.Direction] type can be used with [method@Pango.Context.set_base_dir]
+to instruct Pango about direction of text, though in most cases Pango detects
+that correctly and automatically. For application that need more direct
+control over bidirectional setting of text, Pango provides APIs such as
+[func@unichar_direction], [func@find_base_dir], [func@get_mirror_char]
+or [func@bidi_type_for_unichar].
+
+# Vertical Text
+
+Pango is not only capable of vertical text layout, it can handle mixed vertical
+and non-vertical text correctly. This section describes the types used for setting
+vertical text parameters.
+
+The way this is implemented is through the concept of *gravity*. Gravity of
+normal Latin text is south. A gravity value of east means that glyphs will be
+rotated ninety degrees counterclockwise. So, to render vertical text one needs
+to set the gravity and rotate the layout using the matrix machinery already
+in place. This has the huge advantage that most algorithms working on a
+[class@Pango.Layout] do not need any change as the assumption that lines run
+in the X direction and stack in the Y direction holds even for vertical text
+layouts.
+
+Applications should only need to set base gravity on [class@Pango.Context] in use,
+and let Pango decide the gravity assigned to each run of text. This automatically
+handles text with mixed scripts. A very common use is to set the context base
+gravity to auto using [method@Pango.Context.set_base_gravity] and rotate the layout
+normally. Pango will make sure that Asian languages take the right form, while
+other scripts are rotated normally.
+
+The correct way to set gravity on a layout is to set it on the context associated
+with it using [method@Pango.Context.set_base_gravity]. The context of a layout can
+be accessed using [method@Pango.Layout.get_context]. The currently set base gravity
+of the context can be accessed using [method@Pango.Context.get_base_gravity] and the
+*resolved* gravity of it using [method@Pango.Context.get_gravity]. The resolved
+gravity is the same as the base gravity for the most part, except that if the base
+gravity is set to `PANGO_GRAVITY_AUTO`, the resolved gravity will depend on the
+current matrix set on context, and is derived using [func@gravity_get_for_matrix].
+
+The next thing an application may want to set on the context is the *gravity hint*.
+A [enum@Pango.GravityHint] instructs how different scripts should react to the set
+base gravity.
+
+Font descriptions have a gravity property too, that can be set using
+[method@Pango.FontDescription.set_gravity] and accessed using
+[method@Pango.FontDescription.get_gravity]. However, those are rarely useful
+from application code and are mainly used by `PangoLayout` internally.
+
+Last but not least, one can create `PangoAttributes` for gravity and gravity
+hint using [func@attr_gravity_new] and [func@attr_gravity_hint_new].
