## shape_text(runs, direction, script, enabled_font_features, variations) {#strlist_direction_unicodescript_fontfeaturelist_variationaxiscoordinatelist}

Returns [Cluster](../../cluster/) objects generated from a sequence of text fragments.
Length of the returned array is equal to length of *runs*.
If run at an index has corresponding clusters then result at the same index will have them recorded.


```python
def shape_text(self, runs: List[str], direction: aspose.words.shaping.Direction, script: aspose.words.shaping.UnicodeScript, enabled_font_features: List[aspose.words.shaping.FontFeature], variations: List[aspose.words.shaping.VariationAxisCoordinate]):
    ...
```
