cairo_create: cairo_create
In coolbutuseless/cairocore: Low-Level Cairo Bindings

Description Usage Arguments Details Value See Also

Creates a new #cairo_t with all graphics state parameters set to default values and with target as a target surface. The target surface should be constructed with a backend-specific function such as cairo_image_surface_create() (or any other <function>cairo_<emphasis>backend</emphasis>_surface_create(<!– –>)</function> variant).

1	cairo_create(target)

target

[cairo_surface_t *] target surface for the context

This function references target, so you can immediately call cairo_surface_destroy() on it if you don't need to maintain a separate reference to it.

Return value: a newly allocated #cairo_t with a reference count of 1. The initial reference count should be released with cairo_destroy() when you are done using the #cairo_t. This function never returns %NULL. If memory cannot be allocated, a special #cairo_t object will be returned on which cairo_status() returns %CAIRO_STATUS_NO_MEMORY. If you attempt to target a surface which does not support writing (such as #cairo_mime_surface_t) then a %CAIRO_STATUS_WRITE_ERROR will be raised. You can use this object normally, but no drawing will be done.
