NAME

       fribidi_shape_arabic - do Arabic shaping

SYNOPSIS

       #include <fribidi.h>

       void fribidi_shape_arabic
       (
            FriBidiFlags flags,
            const FriBidiLevel *embedding_levels,
            const FriBidiStrIndex len,
            FriBidiArabicProp *ar_props,
            FriBidiChar *str
       );

PARAMETERS

       FriBidiFlags flags
              Shaping flags.

       const FriBidiLevel *embedding_levels
              Not Documented.

       const FriBidiStrIndex len
              Input string length.

       FriBidiArabicProp *ar_props
              Input/output Arabic properties as computed by fribidi_join_arabic.

       FriBidiChar *str
              String to shape.

DESCRIPTION

       The  actual  shaping  that  is  done  depends  on the flags set.  Only flags starting with
       FRIBIDI_FLAG_SHAPE_ARAB_ affect this function.  Currently these are:

       * FRIBIDI_FLAG_SHAPE_MIRRORING: Do mirroring.
       * FRIBIDI_FLAG_SHAPE_ARAB_PRES: Shape Arabic characters to their presentation form glyphs.
       * FRIBIDI_FLAG_SHAPE_ARAB_LIGA: Form mandatory Arabic ligatures.
       * FRIBIDI_FLAG_SHAPE_ARAB_CONSOLE: Perform additional Arabic  shaping  suitable  for  text
       rendered on grid terminals with no mark rendering capabilities.

       Of  the above, FRIBIDI_FLAG_SHAPE_ARAB_CONSOLE is only used in special cases, but the rest
       are recommended in any environment that doesn't have other means for doing Arabic shaping.
       The  set  of  extra  flags  that  enable this level of Arabic support has a shortcut named
       FRIBIDI_FLAGS_ARABIC.
