Method
Gdk.Surface.create_similar_surface
Declaration [src]
cairo_surface_t*
gdk_surface_create_similar_surface (
GdkSurface* surface,
cairo_content_t content,
int width,
int height
)
Description [src]
Create a new Cairo surface that is as compatible as possible with the
given surface
.
For example the new surface will have the same fallback resolution
and font options as surface
. Generally, the new surface will also
use the same backend as surface
, unless that is not possible for
some reason. The type of the returned surface may be examined with
cairo_surface_get_type()
.
Initially the surface contents are all 0 (transparent if contents have transparency, black otherwise.)
This function always returns a valid pointer, but it will return a
pointer to a “nil” surface if other
is already in an error state
or any other error occurs.
