<para>Temporarily redirects drawing to an intermediate surface known as a

to <link linkend="cairo-pop-group"><function>cairo_pop_group()</function></link> or <link linkend="cairo-pop-group-to-source"><function>cairo_pop_group_to_source()</function></link>. These calls
provide the result of any drawing to the group as a pattern,

<para>This group functionality can be convenient for performing
intermediate compositing. One common use of a group is to render
objects as opaque within the group, (so that they occlude each
other), and then blend the result with translucence onto the
destination.</para>
<para>Groups can be nested arbitrarily deep by making balanced calls to
<link linkend="cairo-push-group"><function>cairo_push_group()</function></link>/<link linkend="cairo-pop-group"><function>cairo_pop_group()</function></link>. Each call pushes/pops the new
target group onto/from a stack.</para>
<para>The <link linkend="cairo-push-group"><function>cairo_push_group()</function></link> function calls <link linkend="cairo-save"><function>cairo_save()</function></link> so that any
changes to the graphics state will not be visible outside the
group, (the pop_group functions call <link linkend="cairo-restore"><function>cairo_restore()</function></link>).</para>
<para>By default the intermediate group will have a content type of
<link linkend="CAIRO-CONTENT-COLOR-ALPHA:CAPS"><literal>CAIRO_CONTENT_COLOR_ALPHA</literal></link>. Other content types can be chosen for

 with <link linkend="cairo-set-source"><function>cairo_set_source()</function></link>.</para>
<para>The <parameter>x</parameter>

 parameters give the user-space coordinate at which
the surface origin should appear. (The surface origin is its
upper-left corner before any transformation has been applied.) The
<parameter>x</parameter>

 parameters are negated and then set as translation values
in the pattern matrix.</para>
<para>Other than the initial translation pattern matrix, as described
above, all other pattern attributes, (such as its extend mode), are
set to the default values as in <link linkend="cairo-pattern-create-for-surface"><function>cairo_pattern_create_for_surface()</function></link>.
The resulting pattern can be queried with <link linkend="cairo-get-source"><function>cairo_get_source()</function></link> so
that these attributes can be modified if desired, (eg. to create a
repeating pattern with <link linkend="cairo-pattern-set-extend"><function>cairo_pattern_set_extend()</function></link>).</para>

makes both of these spaces identical. That is, if there is no

fill rules, whether or not a point is included in the fill is

at intersections with the path. The ray can be in any direction,
as long as it doesn't pass through the end point of a segment
or have a tricky intersection such as intersecting tangent to the path.
