[12:7] extends: object
A render node for a Cairo surface.
CairoNode (bounds = null)
Creates a
GskRenderNodethat will render a cairo surface into the area given by @bounds. You can draw to the cairo surface using [method@Gsk.CairoNode.get_draw_context].
bounds is the rectangle to render to.toNativeHandle (Source)
Normalizes a constructor argument into a raw pointer carrier. Accepts a raw NativeHandle, a raw NativeBuffer returned from
fn.call(...), another generated wrapper exposinghandle(), or null. Returns null when the argument carries no pointer.
Source is the raw handle, raw buffer, wrapper, or null.A raw pointer carrier or null when no pointer is present.getLib ()
Returns the opened native library for this generated wrapper.
The opened native library.handle ()
Returns the wrapped NativeHandle.
The wrapped NativeHandle.isNull ()
Returns true when the wrapped handle is null.
A bool.describe ()
Returns a small string for debugging generated wrappers.
A string.asRenderNode ()
Wraps this handle as
RenderNode.
A RenderNode object.get_draw_context ()
Creates a Cairo context for drawing using the surface associated to the render node. If no surface exists yet, a surface will be created optimized for rendering to @renderer.
get_surface ()
Retrieves the Cairo surface used by the render node.
