Re: Pixbuf to Cairo and vice versa



Update:

I've found out that Gtk2::Gdk::Pixbuf->new_from_data is much faster than the Gtk2::Gdk::PixbufLoader 
approach. This is how the code looks right now:

my $width = $surface->get_width;
my $height = $surface->get_height;
my $stride = $surface->get_stride;
my $data = $surface->get_data;
my $pixbuf = Gtk2::Gdk::Pixbuf->new_from_data ($data,'rgb',1,8,$width,$height,$stride);


The problem is that the colors of the resulting pixbuf are not correct. I think I am doing something wrong 
here. Are the parameters above correct? The surface is 'argb32' - this might be the problem, right?

Betreff: Pixbuf to Cairo and vice versa

Hi,

I was benchmarking one of my applications today and one of the
slowest operations I detected is related to the Cairo > Pixbuf
conversion.

This is what the code is currently doing:
1) Get the current screen content as a pixbuf

my $clean_pixbuf = Gtk2::Gdk::Pixbuf->get_from_drawable(
      $self->{_root}, undef, 0, 0, 0, 0,
      $self->{_root}->{w},
      $self->{_root}->{h}
);

2) I want to draw something on the pixbuf with Cairo

my $surface = Cairo::ImageSurface->create( 'argb32',
$self->{_root}->{w}, $self->{_root}->{h} );
my $cr = Cairo::Context->create($surface);

Gtk2::Gdk::Cairo::Context::set_source_pixbuf( $cr, $clean_pixbuf, 0,
0 );
$cr->paint;

<<< more painting goes here >>>

3) Show the final image in a widget, i.e. convert the cairo surface
back to a pixbuf

#write surface to pixbuf
my $loader = Gtk2::Gdk::PixbufLoader->new;
$surface->write_to_png_stream(
      sub {
              my ( $closure, $data ) = @_;
              $loader->write($data);
      }
);
$loader->close;

<<< use $loader->get_pixbuf somewhere >>>



Especially the last operation is pretty slow (the root window is big,
dual monitor). My question is: Is this the correct workflow to do
such things? Is there any way to avoid the conversions between
pixbufs and cairo?


Thanks in advance.

Bye
Mario
