The XCB surface is used to render cairo graphics to X Window System windows and pixmaps using the XCB library.
Note that the XCB surface automatically takes advantage of the X render extension if it is available.
cairo_surface_t * cairo_xcb_surface_create (xcb_connection_t *connection
,xcb_drawable_t drawable
,xcb_visualtype_t *visual
,int width
,int height
);
Creates an XCB surface that draws to the given drawable. The way that colors are represented in the drawable is specified by the provided visual.
Note: If drawable
is a Window, then the function
cairo_xcb_surface_set_size()
must be called whenever the size of the
window changes.
When drawable
is a Window containing child windows then drawing to
the created surface will be clipped by those child windows. When
the created surface is used as a source, the contents of the
children will be included.

width |
the current width of |

height |

a pointer to the newly created 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 an error such as out of memory
occurs. You can use cairo_surface_status()
to check for this.

cairo_surface_t * cairo_xcb_surface_create_for_bitmap (xcb_connection_t *connection
,xcb_screen_t *screen
,xcb_pixmap_t bitmap
,int width
,int height
);
Creates an XCB surface that draws to the given bitmap.
This will be drawn to as a CAIRO_FORMAT_A1
object.

,int width

);
Creates an XCB surface that draws to the given drawable. The way that colors are represented in the drawable is specified by the provided picture format.
Note: If drawable
is a Window, then the function
cairo_xcb_surface_set_size()
must be called whenever the size of the
window changes.
When drawable
is a Window containing child windows then drawing to
the created surface will be clipped by those child windows. When

void cairo_xcb_surface_set_size (cairo_surface_t *surface
,int width
,int height
);
Informs cairo of the new size of the XCB drawable underlying the surface. For a surface created for a window (rather than a pixmap), this function must be called each time the size of the window changes. (For a subwindow, you are normally resizing the window yourself, but for a toplevel window, it is necessary to listen for ConfigureNotify events.)
A pixmap can never change size, so it is never necessary to call this function on a surface created for a pixmap.
If cairo_surface_flush()
wasn't called, some pending operations
might be discarded.

Informs cairo of the new drawable and size of the XCB drawable underlying the surface.

void cairo_xcb_device_debug_cap_xrender_version (cairo_device_t *device
,int major_version

);
Restricts all future XCB surfaces for this devices to the specified version of the RENDER extension. This function exists solely for debugging purpose. It let's you find out how cairo would behave with an older version of the RENDER extension.
Use the special values -1 and -1 for disabling the RENDER extension.

Restricts all future XCB surfaces for this devices to the specified version of the SHM extension. This function exists solely for debugging purpose. It let's you find out how cairo would behave with an older version of the SHM extension.

Render supports two modes of precision when rendering trapezoids. Set the precision to the desired mode.
