The surface returned by cairo_win32_printing_surface_create() is of surface type CAIRO_SURFACE_TYPE_WIN32_PRINTING and is a multi-page vector surface type. The surface returned by the other win32 constructors is of surface type CAIRO_SURFACE_TYPE_WIN32 and is a raster surface type. Details CAIRO_HAS_WIN32_SURFACE 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. cairo_win32_surface_create () 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_dib(). hdc : the DC to create a surface for Returns : the newly created surface 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. format : format of pixels in the surface to create width : width of the surface, in pixels height : height of the surface, in pixels Returns : the newly created surface Since 1.2 cairo_win32_surface_create_with_ddb () 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-independent-bitmap surface not associated with any particular existing surface or device context. The created bitmap will be uninitialized. hdc : the DC to create a surface for format : format of pixels in the surface to create width : width of the surface, in pixels height : height of the surface, in pixels Returns : the newly created surface Since 1.4 cairo_win32_printing_surface_create () 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. hdc : the DC to create a surface for Returns : the newly created surface Since 1.6 cairo_win32_surface_get_dc () 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. surface : a cairo_surface_t Returns : HDC or NULL if no HDC available. Since 1.2 cairo_win32_surface_get_image () 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. surface : a cairo_surface_t Returns : a cairo_surface_t (owned by the win32 cairo_surface_t), or NULL if the win32 surface is not a DIB. Since 1.4 See Also cairo_surface_t
