Create a new #cairo_pattern_t for the given surface.

cairo_pattern_create_for_surface(surface)

Arguments

surface

[cairo_surface_t *] the surface

Value

[cairo_pattern_t *]

Details

Return value: the newly created #cairo_pattern_t if successful, or an error pattern in case of no memory. The caller owns the returned object and should call cairo_pattern_destroy() when finished with it.

This function will always return a valid pointer, but if an error occurred the pattern status will be set to an error. To inspect the status of a pattern use cairo_pattern_status().

Since: 1.0

C function prototype: cairo_pattern_t * cairo_pattern_create_for_surface (cairo_surface_t *surface)
