Re: cairo surface from GdkPixmap

Hi Andrew,

See my tutorial at:

http://giv.sourceforge.net/gtk-image-viewer/gtkimageviewer_tutorial.html

and search for "cairo" for an example of how to draw on a pixbuf with cairo. Basically all you need to do is:

  cairo_surface_t *surface
    = cairo_image_surface_create_for_data(gdk_pixbuf_get_pixels(pixbuf),

                                          CAIRO_FORMAT_RGB24,
                                          img_width,
                                          img_height,

                                          gdk_pixbuf_get_rowstride(pixbuf));

Beware cairo's and gdkpixbuf's ideas about r,g, and b, are swapped so you will need to swap the blue and the red channels when painting.

Dov

You're probably looking for gdk_cairo_create() or
gdk_cairo_set_source_pixmap(), depending on what exactly you're up to.

As is compulsory on this list :) I note in passing that it turns out
that this [poorly-named] list is the one for discussion about _hacking_
on GTK. Questions about _developing_ with the library are best directed
to gtk-list.
