Implementation

TtfxSubString? ttfxGetPreviousTextSubString(
  Pointer<TtfText> text,
  TtfxSubString subString,
) => ffi.using((arena) {
  final subStringPointer = subString.toNative(arena);
  final resultPointer = arena<TtfSubString>();

  if (ttfGetPreviousTextSubString(text, subStringPointer, resultPointer)) {
    return TtfxSubString.fromPointer(resultPointer);
  }
  return null;
});
