Method Cairo.Surface()->create_similar_image()

Method create_similar_image

Surface create_similar_image(int format, int width, int height)

Description

Create a new image surface that is as compatible as possible for uploading to and the use in conjunction with this surface. However, this surface can still be used like any normal image surface. Unlike create_similar() the new image surface won't inherit the device scale from this.

Initially the surface contents are all 0 (transparent if contents have transparency, black otherwise.)

Use create_similar() if you don't need an image surface.

Parameter format

the format for the new surface

Parameter width

width of the new surface, (in pixels)

Parameter height

height of the new surface (in pixels)

Returns

a newly allocated image surface.
