Note that the XLib surface automatically takes advantage of X render extension if it is available. Functions cairo_xlib_surface_create () cairo_xlib_surface_create cairo_surface_t * cairo_xlib_surface_create (Display *dpy, Drawable drawable, Visual *visual, int width, int height); Creates an Xlib 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_xlib_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. Parameters dpy an X Display drawable an X Drawable, (a Pixmap or a Window) visual the visual to use for drawing to drawable . The depth of the visual must match the depth of the drawable. Currently, only TrueColor visuals are fully supported. width the current width of drawable . height the current height of drawable . Returns the newly created surface Since: 1.0 cairo_xlib_surface_create_for_bitmap () cairo_xlib_surface_create_for_bitmap cairo_surface_t * cairo_xlib_surface_create_for_bitmap (Display *dpy, Pixmap bitmap, Screen *screen, int width, int height); Creates an Xlib surface that draws to the given bitmap. This will be drawn to as a CAIRO_FORMAT_A1 object. Parameters dpy an X Display bitmap an X Drawable, (a depth-1 Pixmap) screen the X Screen associated with bitmap width the current width of bitmap . height the current height of bitmap . Returns the newly created surface Since: 1.0 cairo_xlib_surface_set_size () cairo_xlib_surface_set_size void cairo_xlib_surface_set_size (cairo_surface_t *surface, int width, int height); Informs cairo of the new size of the X 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. Parameters surface a cairo_surface_t for the XLib backend width the new width of the surface height the new height of the surface Since: 1.0 cairo_xlib_surface_get_display () cairo_xlib_surface_get_display Display * cairo_xlib_surface_get_display (cairo_surface_t *surface); Get the X Display for the underlying X Drawable. Parameters surface a cairo_xlib_surface_t Returns the display. Since: 1.2 cairo_xlib_surface_get_screen () cairo_xlib_surface_get_screen Screen * cairo_xlib_surface_get_screen (cairo_surface_t *surface); Get the X Screen for the underlying X Drawable. Parameters surface a cairo_xlib_surface_t Returns the screen. Since: 1.2 cairo_xlib_surface_set_drawable () cairo_xlib_surface_set_drawable void cairo_xlib_surface_set_drawable (cairo_surface_t *surface, Drawable drawable, int width, int height); Informs cairo of a new X Drawable underlying the surface. The drawable must match the display, screen and format of the existing drawable or the application will get X protocol errors and will probably terminate. No checks are done by this function to ensure this compatibility. Parameters surface a cairo_surface_t for the XLib backend drawable the new drawable for the surface width the width of the new drawable height the height of the new drawable Since: 1.0 cairo_xlib_surface_get_drawable () cairo_xlib_surface_get_drawable Drawable cairo_xlib_surface_get_drawable (cairo_surface_t *surface); Get the underlying X Drawable used for the surface. Parameters surface a cairo_xlib_surface_t Returns the drawable. Since: 1.2 cairo_xlib_surface_get_visual () cairo_xlib_surface_get_visual Visual * cairo_xlib_surface_get_visual (cairo_surface_t *surface); Gets the X Visual associated with surface , suitable for use with the underlying X Drawable. If surface was created by cairo_xlib_surface_create(), the return value is the Visual passed to that constructor. Parameters surface a cairo_xlib_surface_t Returns the Visual or NULL if there is no appropriate Visual for surface . Since: 1.2 cairo_xlib_surface_get_width () cairo_xlib_surface_get_width int cairo_xlib_surface_get_width (cairo_surface_t *surface); Get the width of the X Drawable underlying the surface in pixels. Parameters surface a cairo_xlib_surface_t Returns the width of the surface in pixels. Since: 1.2 cairo_xlib_surface_get_height () cairo_xlib_surface_get_height int cairo_xlib_surface_get_height (cairo_surface_t *surface); Get the height of the X Drawable underlying the surface in pixels. Parameters surface a cairo_xlib_surface_t Returns the height of the surface in pixels. Since: 1.2 cairo_xlib_surface_get_depth () cairo_xlib_surface_get_depth int cairo_xlib_surface_get_depth (cairo_surface_t *surface); Get the number of bits used to represent each pixel value. Parameters surface a cairo_xlib_surface_t Returns the depth of the surface in bits. Since: 1.2 cairo_xlib_device_debug_cap_xrender_version () cairo_xlib_device_debug_cap_xrender_version void cairo_xlib_device_debug_cap_xrender_version (cairo_device_t *device, int major_version, int minor_version); Restricts all future Xlib surfaces for this devices to the specified version of the RENDER extension. This function exists solely for debugging purpose. It lets 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. Parameters device a cairo_device_t for the Xlib backend major_version major version to restrict to minor_version minor version to restrict to Since: 1.12 cairo_xlib_device_debug_get_precision () cairo_xlib_device_debug_get_precision int cairo_xlib_device_debug_get_precision (cairo_device_t *device); Get the Xrender precision mode. Parameters device a cairo_device_t for the Xlib backend Returns the render precision mode Since: 1.12 cairo_xlib_device_debug_set_precision () cairo_xlib_device_debug_set_precision void cairo_xlib_device_debug_set_precision (cairo_device_t *device, int precision); Render supports two modes of precision when rendering trapezoids. Set the precision to the desired mode. Parameters device a cairo_device_t for the Xlib backend precision the precision to use Since: 1.12 Types and Values CAIRO_HAS_XLIB_SURFACE CAIRO_HAS_XLIB_SURFACE #define CAIRO_HAS_XLIB_SURFACE 1 Defined if the Xlib surface backend is available. This macro can be used to conditionally compile backend-specific code. Since: 1.0 See Also cairo_surface_t
