Package: graphics.text | Status: source-declared

Shape, measure, and represent text and glyph resources.

```yh
external CreateGraphicsShapedText(text value, graphicsFontReference font, text locale, text direction, int ascent, int descent, int lineGap, text source) returns graphicsShapedText
```


## Use CreateGraphicsShapedText

A complete small caller. Values are illustrative; check the returned result and package requirements before connecting live resources.

Verification: type checked

```yh
using graphics.text

// Shape, measure, and represent text and glyph resources.
text value = "value"
graphicsFontReference font = graphicsFontReference("cpu", "fallback Families", 1, 1, 1, "style", "features", "example")
text locale = "locale"
text direction = "direction"
int ascent = 1
int descent = 1
int lineGap = 1
text source = "example"
graphicsShapedText result = CreateGraphicsShapedText(value, font, locale, direction, ascent, descent, lineGap, source)
Console.Log("Inspect result in your debugger")

```

Save this beside start.yh as project.mech:

```toml
manifestVersion = "2"
package = "api.example.graphics_text__creategraphicsshapedtext"
version = "0.1.0"
languageEdition = "yeho-core-2026.1"

[app]
kind = "headless"

[[dependencies]]
package = "graphics.text"
version = "0.1.0"
path = "../../../yeho/packages/graphics/text"

```

Extract the example archive beside the yeho and dolphin checkouts. This example requires those source dependencies and a current developer compiler.

```sh
./yeho/build/dolphin-metal/yehoc ./api-examples/graphics.text--CreateGraphicsShapedText/usage --backend cpu-oracle -o /tmp/yeho-example
/tmp/yeho-example
```


Package presence and a declaration do not establish support on every host. Host services need their platform and lifecycle setup.
