Cairo Interaction

Cairo Interaction — Functions to support using cairo

Includes

#include <gdk/gdk.h>

Description

Cairo is a graphics library that supports vector graphics and image compositing that can be used with GDK. GTK+ does all of its drawing using cairo.

GDK does not wrap the cairo API, instead it allows to create cairo contexts which can be used to draw on GdkWindows. Additional functions allow use GdkRectangles with cairo and to use GdkColors, GdkRGBAs, GdkPixbufs and GdkWindows as sources for drawing operations.

Functions

gdk_window_create_similar_surface ()

cairo_surface_t *
gdk_window_create_similar_surface (GdkWindow *window,
                                   cairo_content_t content,
                                   int width,
                                   int height);

Create a new surface that is as compatible as possible with the given window . For example the new surface will have the same fallback resolution and font options as window . Generally, the new surface will also use the same backend as window , unless that is not possible for some reason. The type of the returned surface may be examined with cairo_surface_get_type().

Initially the surface contents are all 0 (transparent if contents have transparency, black otherwise.)

Parameters

window

window to make new surface similar to

 

content

the content for the new surface

 

width

width of the new surface

 

height

height of the new surface

 

Returns

a pointer to the newly allocated surface. The caller owns the surface and should call cairo_surface_destroy() when done with it.

This function always returns a valid pointer, but it will return a pointer to a “nil” surface if other is already in an error state or any other error occurs.

Since 2.22


gdk_window_create_similar_image_surface ()

cairo_surface_t *
gdk_window_create_similar_image_surface
                               (GdkWindow *window,
                                cairo_format_t format,
                                int width,
                                int height,
                                int scale);

Create a new image surface that is efficient to draw on the given window .

Initially the surface contents are all 0 (transparent if contents have transparency, black otherwise.)

Parameters

window

window to make new surface similar to, or NULL if none

 

format

the format for the new surface.

[type int]

width

width of the new surface

 

height

height of the new surface

 

scale

the scale of the new surface, or 0 to use same as window

 

Returns

a pointer to the newly allocated surface. The caller owns the surface and should call cairo_surface_destroy() when done with it.

This function always returns a valid pointer, but it will return a pointer to a “nil” surface if other is already in an error state or any other error occurs.

Since 3.10


gdk_cairo_create ()

cairo_t *
gdk_cairo_create (GdkWindow *window);

Creates a Cairo context for drawing to window .

Note that calling cairo_reset_clip() on the resulting cairo_t will produce undefined results, so avoid it at all costs.

Parameters

window

a GdkWindow

 

Returns

A newly created Cairo context. Free with cairo_destroy() when you are done drawing.

Since 2.8


gdk_cairo_get_clip_rectangle ()

gboolean
gdk_cairo_get_clip_rectangle (cairo_t *cr,
                              GdkRectangle *rect);

This is a convenience function around cairo_clip_extents(). It rounds the clip extents to integer coordinates and returns a boolean indicating if a clip area exists.

Parameters

cr

a cairo context

 

rect

return location for the clip, or NULL.

[out][allow-none]

Returns

TRUE if a clip rectangle exists, FALSE if all of cr is clipped and all drawing can be skipped


gdk_cairo_set_source_color ()

void
gdk_cairo_set_source_color (cairo_t *cr,
                            const GdkColor *color);

gdk_cairo_set_source_color has been deprecated since version 3.4 and should not be used in newly-written code.

Use gdk_cairo_set_source_rgba() instead

Sets the specified GdkColor as the source color of cr .

Parameters

cr

a cairo context

 

color

a GdkColor

 

Since 2.8


gdk_cairo_set_source_rgba ()

void
gdk_cairo_set_source_rgba (cairo_t *cr,
                           const GdkRGBA *rgba);

Sets the specified GdkRGBA as the source color of cr .

Parameters

cr

a cairo context

 

rgba

a GdkRGBA

 

Since 3.0


gdk_cairo_set_source_pixbuf ()

void
gdk_cairo_set_source_pixbuf (cairo_t *cr,
                             const GdkPixbuf *pixbuf,
                             gdouble pixbuf_x,
                             gdouble pixbuf_y);

Sets the given pixbuf as the source pattern for cr .

The pattern has an extend mode of CAIRO_EXTEND_NONE and is aligned so that the origin of pixbuf is pixbuf_x , pixbuf_y .

Parameters

cr

a cairo context

 

pixbuf

a GdkPixbuf

 

pixbuf_x

X coordinate of location to place upper left corner of pixbuf

 

pixbuf_y

Y coordinate of location to place upper left corner of pixbuf

 

Since 2.8


gdk_cairo_set_source_window ()

void
gdk_cairo_set_source_window (cairo_t *cr,
                             GdkWindow *window,
                             gdouble x,
                             gdouble y);

Sets the given window as the source pattern for cr .

The pattern has an extend mode of CAIRO_EXTEND_NONE and is aligned so that the origin of window is x , y . The window contains all its subwindows when rendering.

Note that the contents of window are undefined outside of the visible part of window , so use this function with care.

Parameters

cr

a cairo context

 

window

a GdkWindow

 

x

X coordinate of location to place upper left corner of window

 

y

Y coordinate of location to place upper left corner of window
