Typedef Documentation

◆ FontExtents

typedef cairo_font_extents_t Cairo::FontExtents

See the cairo_font_extents_t reference in the cairo manual for more information.

◆ Glyph

typedef cairo_glyph_t Cairo::Glyph

See the cairo_glyph_t reference in the cairo manual for more information.

◆ Rectangle

typedef cairo_rectangle_t Cairo::Rectangle

See the cairo_rectangle_t reference in the cairo manual for more information.

◆ RectangleInt

typedef cairo_rectangle_int_t Cairo::RectangleInt

See the cairo_rectangle_int_t reference in the cairo manual for more information.

◆ RefPtr

template <typename T_CppObject >

using Cairo::RefPtr = typedef std::shared_ptr<T_CppObject>

RefPtr<> is a reference-counting shared smartpointer.

Reference counting means that a shared reference count is incremented each time a RefPtr is copied, and decremented each time a RefPtr is destroyed, for instance when it leaves its scope. When the reference count reaches zero, the contained object is deleted

cairomm uses RefPtr so that you don't need to remember to delete the object explicitly, or know when a method expects you to delete the object that it returns, and to prevent any need to manually reference and unreference cairo objects.

◆ TextCluster

typedef cairo_text_cluster_t Cairo::TextCluster

See the cairo_text_cluster_t reference in the cairo manual for more information.

◆ TextExtents

typedef cairo_text_extents_t Cairo::TextExtents

See the cairo_text_extents_t reference in the cairo manual for more information.

Enumeration Type Documentation

◆ Antialias

enum Cairo::Antialias

Specifies the type of antialiasing to do when rendering text or shapes.

The interpretation of Cairo::ANTIALIAS_DEFAULT is left entirely up to the backend.

Enumerator
ANTIALIAS_DEFAULT	Use the default antialiasing for the subsystem and target device.
ANTIALIAS_NONE	Use bilevel alpha mask.
ANTIALIAS_GRAY	Perform single-color antialiasing (using shades of gray for black text on white background, for example).
ANTIALIAS_SUBPIXEL	Perform antialiasing by taing advantage of the order of subpixel elements on devices such as LCD panels.

◆ Content

enum Cairo::Content

Cairo::Content is used to describe the content that a surface will contain, whether color information, alpha information (translucence vs.

opacity), or both.

Enumerator
CONTENT_COLOR	The surface will hold color content only.
CONTENT_ALPHA	The surface will hold alpha content only.
CONTENT_COLOR_ALPHA	The surface will hold color and alpha content.

◆ FontType

enum Cairo::FontType

Cairo::FontType is used to describe the type of a given font face or scaled font.

The font types are also known as "font backends" within cairo.

New entries may be added in future versions.

Since: 1.2

Enumerator
FONT_TYPE_TOY	The font was created using cairo's toy font api.
FONT_TYPE_FT	The font is of type FreeType.
FONT_TYPE_WIN32	The font is of type Win32.
FONT_TYPE_QUARTZ	The font is of type Quartz. Since 1.6
FONT_TYPE_USER	The font was created using cairo's user font api. Since 1.8

◆ FtSynthesize

enum Cairo::FtSynthesize

A set of synthesis options to control how FreeType renders the glyphs for a particular font face.

FreeType provides the ability to synthesize different glyphs from a base font, which is useful if you lack those glyphs from a true bold or oblique font.

Individual synthesis features of a FtFontFace can be set using FtFontFace::set_synthesize(), or disabled using FtFontFace::unset_synthesize(). The currently enabled set of synthesis options can be queried with FtFontFace::get_synthesize().

Note: that when synthesizing glyphs, the font metrics returned will only be estimates.

Since: 1.12

Enumerator
FT_SYNTHESIZE_BOLT	Embolden the glyphs (redraw with a pixel offset)
FT_SYNTHESIZE_OBLIQUE	Slant the glyph outline by 12 degrees to the right.

◆ PdfVersion

enum Cairo::PdfVersion

Enumerator
PDF_VERSION_1_4
PDF_VERSION_1_5

◆ PsLevel

enum Cairo::PsLevel

describes the language level of the PostScript Language Reference that a generated PostScript file will conform to.

Enumerator
PS_LEVEL_2
PS_LEVEL_3

◆ SubpixelOrder

enum Cairo::SubpixelOrder

The subpixel order specifies the order of color elements within each pixel on the display device when rendering with an antialiasing mode of Cairo::ANTIALIAS_SUBPIXEL.

Enumerator
SUBPIXEL_ORDER_DEFAULT	Use the default subpixel order for for the target device.
SUBPIXEL_ORDER_RGB	Subpixel elements are arranged horizontally with red at the left.
SUBPIXEL_ORDER_BGR	Subpixel elements are arranged horizontally with blue at the left.
SUBPIXEL_ORDER_VRGB	Subpixel elements are arranged vertically with red at the top.
SUBPIXEL_ORDER_VBGR	Subpixel elements are arranged vertically with blue at the top.

◆ SvgVersion

enum Cairo::SvgVersion

Enumerator
SVG_VERSION_1_1
SVG_VERSION_1_2

◆ TextClusterFlags

enum Cairo::TextClusterFlags

Specifies properties of a text cluster mapping.

Since: 1.8

Enumerator
TEXT_CLUSTER_FLAG_BACKWARD	The clusters in the cluster array map to glyphs in the glyph array from end to start.
