GdkCairoContext — Cairo draw context

Types and Values

Includes

#include <gdk/gdk.h>

Description

GdkCairoContext is an object representing the platform-specific draw context.

GdkCairoContexts are created for a GdkDisplay using gdk_surface_create_cairo_context(), and the context can then be used to draw on that GdkSurface.

Functions

gdk_cairo_context_cairo_create ()

cairo_t *
gdk_cairo_context_cairo_create (GdkCairoContext *self);

Retrieves a Cairo context to be used to draw on the GdkSurface of context . A call to gdk_draw_context_begin_frame() with this context must have been done or this function will return NULL.

The returned context is guaranteed to be valid until gdk_draw_context_end_frame() is called.

Parameters

self

a GdkCairoContext that is currently drawing

 

Returns

a Cairo context to be used to draw the contents of the GdkSurface. NULL is returned when context is not drawing.
