Class Details¶

class Gdk.CairoContext(**kwargs)¶

Bases:: Gdk.DrawContext
Abstract:: Yes

GdkCairoContext is an object representing the platform-specific draw context.

``GdkCairoContext``s are created for a surface using [method`Gdk`.Surface.create_cairo_context], and the context can then be used to draw on that surface.

cairo_create()[source]¶

Returns:: a Cairo context to draw on `:obj:Gdk.Surface
Return type:: cairo.Context or None

Retrieves a Cairo context to be used to draw on the GdkSurface of context.

A call to [method`Gdk`.DrawContext.begin_frame] with this context must have been done or this function will return None.

The returned context is guaranteed to be valid until [method`Gdk`.DrawContext.end_frame] is called.
