cairo_win32_surface_create ()

cairo_surface_t *
cairo_win32_surface_create (HDC hdc);

Creates a cairo surface that targets the given DC. The DC will be queried for its initial clip extents, and this will be used as the size of the cairo surface. The resulting surface will always be of format CAIRO_FORMAT_RGB24; should you need another surface format, you will need to create one through cairo_win32_surface_create_with_format() or cairo_win32_surface_create_with_dib().

cairo_win32_surface_create_with_dib ()

cairo_surface_t *
cairo_win32_surface_create_with_dib (cairo_format_t format,
                                     int width,
                                     int height);

Creates a device-independent-bitmap surface not associated with any particular existing surface or device context. The created bitmap will be uninitialized.

Since: 1.2

cairo_win32_surface_create_with_ddb ()

cairo_surface_t *
cairo_win32_surface_create_with_ddb (HDC hdc,
                                     cairo_format_t format,
                                     int width,
                                     int height);

Creates a device-dependent-bitmap surface not associated with any particular existing surface or device context. The created bitmap will be uninitialized.

Since: 1.4

cairo_win32_surface_create_with_format ()

cairo_surface_t *
cairo_win32_surface_create_with_format
                               (HDC hdc,
                                cairo_format_t format);

Creates a cairo surface that targets the given DC. The DC will be queried for its initial clip extents, and this will be used as the size of the cairo surface.

Supported formats are: CAIRO_FORMAT_ARGB32 CAIRO_FORMAT_RGB24

Note: format only tells cairo how to draw on the surface, not what the format of the surface is. Namely, cairo does not (and cannot) check that hdc actually supports alpha-transparency.

Since: 1.14

cairo_win32_printing_surface_create ()

cairo_surface_t *
cairo_win32_printing_surface_create (HDC hdc);

Creates a cairo surface that targets the given DC. The DC will be queried for its initial clip extents, and this will be used as the size of the cairo surface. The DC should be a printing DC; antialiasing will be ignored, and GDI will be used as much as possible to draw to the surface.

The returned surface will be wrapped using the paginated surface to provide correct complex rendering behaviour; cairo_surface_show_page() and associated methods must be used for correct output.

The following mime types are supported on source patterns: CAIRO_MIME_TYPE_JPEG, CAIRO_MIME_TYPE_PNG.

Since: 1.6

cairo_win32_surface_get_dc ()

HDC
cairo_win32_surface_get_dc (cairo_surface_t *surface);

Returns the HDC associated with this surface, or NULL if none. Also returns NULL if the surface is not a win32 surface.

A call to cairo_surface_flush() is required before using the HDC to ensure that all pending drawing operations are finished and to restore any temporary modification cairo has made to its state. A call to cairo_surface_mark_dirty() is required after the state or the content of the HDC has been modified.

Since: 1.2

cairo_win32_surface_get_image ()

cairo_surface_t *
cairo_win32_surface_get_image (cairo_surface_t *surface);

Returns a cairo_surface_t image surface that refers to the same bits as the DIB of the Win32 surface. If the passed-in win32 surface is not a DIB surface, NULL is returned.

Since: 1.4

CAIRO_HAS_WIN32_SURFACE

#define CAIRO_HAS_WIN32_SURFACE

Defined if the Microsoft Windows surface backend is available. This macro can be used to conditionally compile backend-specific code.
