class Gsk::Renderer

Overview

Gsk::Renderer is a class that renders a scene graph defined via a tree of Gsk::RenderNode instances.

Typically you will use a Gsk::Renderer instance to repeatedly call Gsk::Renderer#render to update the contents of its associated Gdk::Surface.

It is necessary to realize a Gsk::Renderer instance using Gsk::Renderer#realize before calling Gsk::Renderer#render, in order to create the appropriate windowing system resources needed to render the scene.

def self.new #

Initialize a new Renderer.

def self.new(*, realized : Bool | Nil = nil, surface : Gdk::Surface | Nil = nil) #

Class Method Detail

def self.g_type : UInt64 #

Returns the type id (GType) registered in GLib type system.


[View source]
def self.new_for_surface(surface : Gdk::Surface) : self | Nil #

Creates an appropriate Gsk::Renderer instance for the given surface.

If the GSK_RENDERER environment variable is set, GSK will try that renderer first, before trying the backend-specific default. The ultimate fallback is the cairo renderer.

The renderer will be realized before it is returned.

def ==(other : self) #
Description copied from class Reference

Returns true if this reference is the same as other. Invokes same?.


def hash(hasher) #
Description copied from class Reference

See Object#hash(hasher)


def is_realized : Bool #

Checks whether the renderer is realized or not.


[View source]
def realize(surface : Gdk::Surface | Nil) : Bool #

Creates the resources needed by the renderer to render the scene graph.

Since GTK 4.6, the surface may be NULL, which allows using renderers without having to create a surface.

Note that it is mandatory to call Gsk::Renderer#unrealize before destroying the renderer.


[View source]
def realized? : Bool #

[View source]
def render(root : Gsk::RenderNode, region : Cairo::Region | Nil) : Nil #

Renders the scene graph, described by a tree of Gsk::RenderNode instances to the renderer's surface, ensuring that the given region gets redrawn.

If the renderer has no associated surface, this function does nothing.

Renderers must ensure that changes of the contents given by the root node as well as the area given by region are redrawn. They are however free to not redraw any pixel outside of region if they can guarantee that it didn't change.

The renderer will acquire a reference on the Gsk::RenderNode tree while the rendering is in progress.


[View source]
def render_texture(root : Gsk::RenderNode, viewport : Graphene::Rect | Nil) : Gdk::Texture #

Renders the scene graph, described by a tree of Gsk::RenderNode instances, to a Gdk::Texture.

The renderer will acquire a reference on the Gsk::RenderNode tree while the rendering is in progress.

If you want to apply any transformations to root, you should put it into a transform node and pass that node instead.


[View source]
def surface : Gdk::Surface | Nil #

Retrieves the Gdk::Surface set using gsk_enderer_realize().

If the renderer has not been realized yet, nil will be returned.


[View source]
def unrealize : Nil #

Releases all the resources created by gsk_renderer_realize().
