fribidi_get_par_direction - get base paragraph direction

This function finds the base direction of a single paragraph, as defined by rule P2 of the Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm available at http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr9/#P2. You typically do not need this function as fribidi_get_par_embedding_levels() knows how to compute base direction itself, but you may need this to implement a more sophisticated paragraph direction handling. Note that you can pass more than a paragraph to this function and the direction of the first non-neutral paragraph is returned, which is a very good heuristic to set direction of the neutral paragraphs at the beginning of text. For other neutral paragraphs, you better use the direction of the previous paragraph.

fribidi_get_par_direction - get base paragraph direction

constFriBidiCharType*bidi_types Input list of bidi types as returned by fribidi_get_bidi_types(). Since there are 23 possible values for a constFriBidiCharType, they are not all listed here. constFriBidiStrIndexlen Input string length.

Base pargraph direction. No weak paragraph direction is returned, only LTR, RTL, or ON. Possible values for a FriBidiParType are as follows: FRIBIDI_PAR_LTR Left-To-Right paragraph. FRIBIDI_PAR_RTL Right-To-Left paragraph. FRIBIDI_PAR_ON DirectiOn-Neutral paragraph. FRIBIDI_PAR_WLTR Weak Left To Right paragraph. FRIBIDI_PAR_WRTL Weak Right To Left paragraph.
