# Method GTK2.Entry()->get_layout()

Method get_layout

  ``GTK2.Pango.Layout` get_layout()`

Description

  Gets the Pango.Layout used to display the entry. The layout is useful to e.g. convert text positions to pixel positions, in combination with get_layout_offsets().

  Keep in mind that the layout text may contain a preedit string, so layout_index_to_text_index() and text_index_to_layout_index() are needed to convert byte indices in the layout to byte indices in the entry contents.
