cairo_pattern_t is the paint with which cairo draws. The primary use of patterns is as the source for all cairo drawing operations, although they can also be used as masks, that is, as the brush too.
A cairo pattern is created by using one of the many constructors,
of the form
cairo_pattern_create_type()
or implicitly through
cairo_set_source_type()
functions.
void cairo_pattern_add_color_stop_rgb (cairo_pattern_t *pattern,double offset,double red,double green,double blue);
Adds an opaque color stop to a gradient pattern. The offset specifies the location along the gradient's control vector. For example, a linear gradient's control vector is from (x0,y0) to (x1,y1) while a radial gradient's control vector is from any point on the start circle to the corresponding point on the end circle.
The color is specified in the same way as in cairo_set_source_rgb().
If two (or more) stops are specified with identical offset values, they will be sorted according to the order in which the stops are added, (stops added earlier will compare less than stops added later). This can be useful for reliably making sharp color transitions instead of the typical blend.
Note: If the pattern is not a gradient pattern, (eg. a linear or
radial pattern), then the pattern will be put into an error status
with a status of CAIRO_STATUS_PATTERN_TYPE_MISMATCH.

void cairo_pattern_add_color_stop_rgba (cairo_pattern_t *pattern,double offset,double red,double green,double blue,double alpha);
Adds a translucent color stop to a gradient pattern. The offset specifies the location along the gradient's control vector. For example, a linear gradient's control vector is from (x0,y0) to (x1,y1) while a radial gradient's control vector is from any point on the start circle to the corresponding point on the end circle.
The color is specified in the same way as in cairo_set_source_rgba().

cairo_pattern_t *
cairo_pattern_create_mesh (void);
Create a new mesh pattern.
Mesh patterns are tensor-product patch meshes (type 7 shadings in PDF). Mesh patterns may also be used to create other types of shadings that are special cases of tensor-product patch meshes such as Coons patch meshes (type 6 shading in PDF) and Gouraud-shaded triangle meshes (type 4 and 5 shadings in PDF).
Mesh patterns consist of one or more tensor-product patches, which
should be defined before using the mesh pattern. Using a mesh
pattern with a partially defined patch as source or mask will put
the context in an error status with a status of
CAIRO_STATUS_INVALID_MESH_CONSTRUCTION.
A tensor-product patch is defined by 4 Bézier curves (side 0, 1, 2, 3) and by 4 additional control points (P0, P1, P2, P3) that provide further control over the patch and complete the definition of the tensor-product patch. The corner C0 is the first point of the patch.
Degenerate sides are permitted so straight lines may be used. A zero length line on one side may be used to create 3 sided patches.
C1 Side 1 C2
+---------------+
| |
| P1 P2 |
| |
Side 0 | | Side 2
| |
| |
| P0 P3 |
| |
+---------------+
C0 Side 3 C3
Each patch is constructed by first calling
cairo_mesh_pattern_begin_patch(), then cairo_mesh_pattern_move_to()
to specify the first point in the patch (C0). Then the sides are
specified with calls to cairo_mesh_pattern_curve_to() and
cairo_mesh_pattern_line_to().
The four additional control points (P0, P1, P2, P3) in a patch can
be specified with cairo_mesh_pattern_set_control_point().
At each corner of the patch (C0, C1, C2, C3) a color may be
specified with cairo_mesh_pattern_set_corner_color_rgb() or
cairo_mesh_pattern_set_corner_color_rgba(). Any corner whose color
is not explicitly specified defaults to transparent black.
A Coons patch is a special case of the tensor-product patch where the control points are implicitly defined by the sides of the patch. The default value for any control point not specified is the implicit value for a Coons patch, i.e. if no control points are specified the patch is a Coons patch.
A triangle is a special case of the tensor-product patch where the control points are implicitly defined by the sides of the patch, all the sides are lines and one of them has length 0, i.e. if the patch is specified using just 3 lines, it is a triangle. If the corners connected by the 0-length side have the same color, the patch is a Gouraud-shaded triangle.
Patches may be oriented differently to the above diagram. For example the first point could be at the top left. The diagram only shows the relationship between the sides, corners and control points. Regardless of where the first point is located, when specifying colors, corner 0 will always be the first point, corner 1 the point between side 0 and side 1 etc.
Calling cairo_mesh_pattern_end_patch() completes the current
patch. If less than 4 sides have been defined, the first missing
side is defined as a line from the current point to the first point
of the patch (C0) and the other sides are degenerate lines from C0
to C0. The corners between the added sides will all be coincident
with C0 of the patch and their color will be set to be the same as
the color of C0.
Additional patches may be added with additional calls to
cairo_mesh_pattern_begin_patch()/cairo_mesh_pattern_end_patch().
When two patches overlap, the last one that has been added is drawn over the first one.
When a patch folds over itself, points are sorted depending on their parameter coordinates inside the patch. The v coordinate ranges from 0 to 1 when moving from side 3 to side 1; the u coordinate ranges from 0 to 1 when going from side 0 to side
Points with higher v coordinate hide points with lower v coordinate. When two points have the same v coordinate, the one with higher u coordinate is above. This means that points nearer to side 1 are above points nearer to side 3; when this is not sufficient to decide which point is above (for example when both points belong to side 1 or side 3) points nearer to side 2 are above points nearer to side 0.
For a complete definition of tensor-product patches, see the PDF specification (ISO32000), which describes the parametrization in detail.
Note: The coordinates are always in pattern space. For a new
pattern, pattern space is identical to user space, but the
relationship between the spaces can be changed with
cairo_pattern_set_matrix().

void
cairo_mesh_pattern_begin_patch (cairo_pattern_t *pattern);
Begin a patch in a mesh pattern.
After calling this function, the patch shape should be defined with
cairo_mesh_pattern_move_to(), cairo_mesh_pattern_line_to() and
cairo_mesh_pattern_curve_to().
After defining the patch, cairo_mesh_pattern_end_patch() must be
called before using pattern
as a source or mask.
Note: If pattern
is not a mesh pattern then pattern
will be put

void cairo_pattern_set_matrix (cairo_pattern_t *pattern,const cairo_matrix_t *matrix);
Sets the pattern's transformation matrix to matrix
. This matrix is
a transformation from user space to pattern space.
When a pattern is first created it always has the identity matrix for its transformation matrix, which means that pattern space is initially identical to user space.
Important: Please note that the direction of this transformation matrix is from user space to pattern space. This means that if you imagine the flow from a pattern to user space (and on to device space), then coordinates in that flow will be transformed by the inverse of the pattern matrix.
For example, if you want to make a pattern appear twice as large as it does by default the correct code to use is:
1 2 |
cairo_matrix_init_scale (&matrix, 0.5, 0.5); cairo_pattern_set_matrix (pattern, &matrix); |
Meanwhile, using values of 2.0 rather than 0.5 in the code above would cause the pattern to appear at half of its default size.
Also, please note the discussion of the user-space locking
semantics of cairo_set_source().

typedef struct _cairo_pattern cairo_pattern_t;
A cairo_pattern_t represents a source when drawing onto a
surface. There are different subtypes of cairo_pattern_t,
for different types of sources; for example,
cairo_pattern_create_rgb() creates a pattern for a solid
opaque color.
Other than various
cairo_pattern_create_type()
functions, some of the pattern types can be implicitly created using various
cairo_set_source_type() functions;
for example cairo_set_source_rgb().
The type of a pattern can be queried with cairo_pattern_get_type().
Memory management of cairo_pattern_t is done with
cairo_pattern_reference() and cairo_pattern_destroy().
Since: 1.0
cairo_extend_t is used to describe how pattern color/alpha will be determined for areas "outside" the pattern's natural area, (for example, outside the surface bounds or outside the gradient geometry).
Mesh patterns are not affected by the extend mode.
The default extend mode is CAIRO_EXTEND_NONE for surface patterns
and CAIRO_EXTEND_PAD for gradient patterns.
New entries may be added in future versions.

cairo_filter_t is used to indicate what filtering should be
applied when reading pixel values from patterns. See
cairo_pattern_set_filter() for indicating the desired filter to be
used with a particular pattern.

cairo_pattern_type_t is used to describe the type of a given pattern.
The type of a pattern is determined by the function used to create
it. The cairo_pattern_create_rgb() and cairo_pattern_create_rgba()
functions create SOLID patterns. The remaining
cairo_pattern_create functions map to pattern types in obvious
ways.
The pattern type can be queried with cairo_pattern_get_type()
Most cairo_pattern_t functions can be called with a pattern of any
type, (though trying to change the extend or filter for a solid
pattern will have no effect). A notable exception is
cairo_pattern_add_color_stop_rgb() and
cairo_pattern_add_color_stop_rgba() which must only be called with
gradient patterns (either LINEAR or RADIAL). Otherwise the pattern
will be shutdown and put into an error state.
New entries may be added in future versions.
