### Struct

# PangoAttribute

#### Description [src]

    struct PangoAttribute {
      const PangoAttrClass* klass;
      guint start_index;
      guint end_index;
    }

The `PangoAttribute` structure represents the common portions of all attributes.

Particular types of attributes include this structure as their initial portion. The common portion of the attribute holds the range to which the value in the type-specific part of the attribute applies and should be initialized using `pango_attribute_init()`. By default, an attribute will have an all-inclusive range of [0,`G_MAXUINT`].

###### Structure members

`klass`

  The class structure holding information about the type of the attribute.

`start_index`

  The start index of the range (in bytes).

`end_index`

  End index of the range (in bytes). The character at this index is not included in the range.
