Description

cairo_t is the main object used when drawing with cairo. To draw with cairo, you create a cairo_t, set the target surface, and drawing options for the cairo_t, create shapes with functions like cairo_move_to() and cairo_line_to(), and then draw shapes with cairo_stroke() or cairo_fill().

cairo_t's can be pushed to a stack via cairo_save(). They may then safely be changed, without loosing the current state. Use cairo_restore() to restore to the saved state.

Details

cairo_t

typedef struct _cairo cairo_t;

A cairo_t contains the current state of the rendering device, including coordinates of yet to be drawn shapes.


cairo_create ()

cairo_t*            cairo_create                        (cairo_surface_t *target);

Creates a new cairo_t with all graphics state parameters set to default values and with target as a target surface. The target surface should be constructed with a backend-specific function such as cairo_image_surface_create() (or any other cairo_<backend>_surface_create variant).

This function references target, so you can immediately call cairo_surface_destroy() on it if you don't need to maintain a separate reference to it.

target :

target surface for the context

Returns :

a newly allocated cairo_t with a reference count of 1. The initial reference count should be released with cairo_destroy() when you are done using the cairo_t. This function never returns NULL. If memory cannot be allocated, a special cairo_t object will be returned on which cairo_status() returns CAIRO_STATUS_NO_MEMORY. You can use this object normally, but no drawing will be done.

cairo_reference ()

cairo_t*            cairo_reference                     (cairo_t *cr);

Increases the reference count on cr by one. This prevents cr from being destroyed until a matching call to cairo_destroy() is made.

cr :

a cairo_t

Returns :

the referenced cairo_t.

cairo_destroy ()

void                cairo_destroy                       (cairo_t *cr);

Decreases the reference count on cr by one. If the result is zero, then cr and all associated resources are freed. See cairo_reference().

cr :

a cairo_t

cairo_save ()

void                cairo_save                          (cairo_t *cr);

Makes a copy of the current state of cr and saves it on an internal stack of saved states for cr. When cairo_restore() is called, cr will be restored to the saved state. Multiple calls to cairo_save() and cairo_restore() can be nested; each call to cairo_restore() restores the state from the matching paired cairo_save().

It isn't necessary to clear all saved states before a cairo_t is freed. If the reference count of a cairo_t drops to zero in response to a call to cairo_destroy(), any saved states will be freed along with the cairo_t.

cr :

a cairo_t

cairo_restore ()

void                cairo_restore                       (cairo_t *cr);

Restores cr to the state saved by a preceding call to cairo_save() and removes that state from the stack of saved states.

cr :

a cairo_t

cairo_status ()

cairo_status_t      cairo_status                        (cairo_t *cr);

Checks whether an error has previously occurred for this context.

cr :

a cairo context

Returns :

the current status of this context, see cairo_status_t

cairo_get_target ()

cairo_surface_t*    cairo_get_target                    (cairo_t *cr);

Gets the target surface for the cairo context as passed to cairo_create().

This function will always return a valid pointer, but the result can be a "nil" surface if cr is already in an error state, (ie. cairo_status() != CAIRO_STATUS_SUCCESS). A nil surface is indicated by cairo_surface_status() != CAIRO_STATUS_SUCCESS.

cr :

a cairo context

Returns :

the target surface. This object is owned by cairo. To keep a reference to it, you must call cairo_surface_reference().

cairo_set_source_rgb ()

void                cairo_set_source_rgb                (cairo_t *cr,
                                                         double red,
                                                         double green,
                                                         double blue);

Sets the source pattern within cr to an opaque color. This opaque color will then be used for any subsequent drawing operation until a new source pattern is set.

The color components are floating point numbers in the range 0 to 1. If the values passed in are outside that range, they will be clamped.

cr :

a cairo context

red :

red component of color

green :

green component of color

blue :

blue component of color

cairo_set_source_rgba ()

void                cairo_set_source_rgba               (cairo_t *cr,
                                                         double red,
                                                         double green,
                                                         double blue,
                                                         double alpha);

Sets the source pattern within cr to a translucent color. This color will then be used for any subsequent drawing operation until a new source pattern is set.

The color and alpha components are floating point numbers in the range 0 to 1. If the values passed in are outside that range, they will be clamped.

cr :

a cairo context

red :

red component of color

green :

green component of color

blue :

blue component of color

alpha :

alpha component of color

cairo_set_source ()

void                cairo_set_source                    (cairo_t *cr,
                                                         cairo_pattern_t *source);

Sets the source pattern within cr to source. This pattern will then be used for any subsequent drawing operation until a new source pattern is set.

Note: The pattern's transformation matrix will be locked to the user space in effect at the time of cairo_set_source(). This means that further modifications of the current transformation matrix will not affect the source pattern. See cairo_pattern_set_matrix().

XXX: I'd also like to direct the reader's attention to some (not-yet-written) section on cairo's imaging model. How would I do that if such a section existed? (cworth).

cr :

a cairo context

source :

a cairo_pattern_t to be used as the source for subsequent drawing operations.

cairo_set_source_surface ()

void                cairo_set_source_surface            (cairo_t *cr,
                                                         cairo_surface_t *surface,
                                                         double x,
                                                         double y);

This is a convenience function for creating a pattern from surface and setting it as the source in cr with cairo_set_source().

The x and y 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 x and y patterns are negated and then set as translation values in the pattern matrix.

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 cairo_pattern_create_for_surface(). The resulting pattern can be queried with cairo_get_source() so that these attributes can be modified if desired, (eg. to create a repeating pattern with cairo_pattern_set_extend()).

cr :

a cairo context

surface :

a surface to be used to set the source pattern

x :

User-space X coordinate for surface origin

y :

User-space Y coordinate for surface origin

cairo_get_source ()

cairo_pattern_t*    cairo_get_source                    (cairo_t *cr);

Gets the current source pattern for cr.

cr :

a cairo context

Returns :

the current source pattern. This object is owned by cairo. To keep a reference to it, you must call cairo_pattern_reference().

enum cairo_antialias_t

typedef enum _cairo_antialias {
    CAIRO_ANTIALIAS_DEFAULT,
    CAIRO_ANTIALIAS_NONE,
    CAIRO_ANTIALIAS_GRAY,
    CAIRO_ANTIALIAS_SUBPIXEL
} cairo_antialias_t;

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

CAIRO_ANTIALIAS_DEFAULT

Use the default antialiasing for the subsystem and target device

CAIRO_ANTIALIAS_NONE

Use a bilevel alpha mask

CAIRO_ANTIALIAS_GRAY

Perform single-color antialiasing (using shades of gray for black text on a white background, for example).

CAIRO_ANTIALIAS_SUBPIXEL

Perform antialiasing by taking advantage of the order of subpixel elements on devices such as LCD panels

cairo_set_antialias ()

void                cairo_set_antialias                 (cairo_t *cr,

Sets the dash pattern to be used by cairo_stroke(). A dash pattern is specified by dashes, an array of positive values. Each value provides the user-space length of altenate "on" and "off" portions of the stroke. The offset specifies an offset into the pattern at which the stroke begins.

If num_dashes is 0 dashing is disabled.

If num_dashes is 1 a symmetric pattern is assumed with alternating on and off portions of the size specified by the single value in dashes.

If any value in dashes is negative, or if all values are 0, then cairo_t will be put into an error state with a status of CAIRO_STATUS_INVALID_DASH.

enum cairo_fill_rule_t

typedef enum _cairo_fill_rule {
    CAIRO_FILL_RULE_WINDING,
    CAIRO_FILL_RULE_EVEN_ODD
} cairo_fill_rule_t;

cairo_fill_rule_t is used to select how paths are filled. For both fill rules, whether or not a point is included in the fill is determined by taking a ray from that point to infinity and looking 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. (Note that filling is not actually implemented in this way. This is just a description of the rule that is applied.)

CAIRO_FILL_RULE_WINDING

If the path crosses the ray from left-to-right, counts +1. If the path crosses the ray from right to left, counts -1. (Left and right are determined from the perspective of looking along the ray from the starting point.) If the total count is non-zero, the point will be filled.

CAIRO_FILL_RULE_EVEN_ODD

Counts the total number of intersections, without regard to the orientation of the contour. If the total number of intersections is odd, the point will be filled.

Sets the tolerance used when converting paths into trapezoids. Curved segments of the path will be subdivided until the maximum deviation between the original path and the polygonal approximation is less than tolerance. The default value is 0.1. A larger value will give better performance, a smaller value, better appearance. (Reducing the value from the default value of 0.1 is unlikely to improve appearance significantly.)

cairo_clip ()

void                cairo_clip                          (cairo_t *cr);

Establishes a new clip region by intersecting the current clip region with the current path as it would be filled by cairo_fill() and according to the current fill rule (see cairo_set_fill_rule()).

After cairo_clip, the current path will be cleared from the cairo context.

The current clip region affects all drawing operations by effectively masking out any changes to the surface that are outside the current clip region.

Calling cairo_clip() can only make the clip region smaller, never larger. But the current clip is part of the graphics state, so a temporary restriction of the clip region can be achieved by calling cairo_clip() within a cairo_save()/cairo_restore() pair. The only other means of increasing the size of the clip region is cairo_reset_clip().

cairo_clip_preserve ()

void                cairo_clip_preserve                 (cairo_t *cr);

Unlike cairo_clip(), cairo_clip_preserve preserves the path within the cairo context.

The current clip region affects all drawing operations by effectively masking out any changes to the surface that are outside the current clip region.

Calling cairo_clip() can only make the clip region smaller, never larger. But the current clip is part of the graphics state, so a temporary restriction of the clip region can be achieved by calling cairo_clip() within a cairo_save()/cairo_restore() pair.

cairo_reset_clip ()

void                cairo_reset_clip                    (cairo_t *cr);

Reset the current clip region to its original, unrestricted state. That is, set the clip region to an infinitely large shape containing the target surface. Equivalently, if infinity is too hard to grasp, one can imagine the clip region being reset to the exact bounds of the target surface.

Note that code meant to be reusable should not call cairo_reset_clip() as it will cause results unexpected by higher-level code which calls cairo_clip(). Consider using cairo_save() and cairo_restore() around cairo_clip() as a more robust means of temporarily restricting the clip region.
