Enum cairo_surface_type_t
cairo_surface_type_t is used to describe the type of a given
surface. The surface types are also known as "backends" or "surface
backends" within cairo.
The type of a surface is determined by the function used to create
it, which will generally be of the form cairo_typesurface_create(),
(though see cairo_surface_create_similar() as well).
The surface type can be queried with cairo_surface_get_type()
The various cairo_surface_t functions can be used with surfaces of
any type, but some backends also provide type-specific functions
that must only be called with a surface of the appropriate
type. These functions have names that begin with
cairo_typesurface<...> such as cairo_image_surface_get_width().
The behavior of calling a type-specific function with a surface of the wrong type is undefined.
New entries may be added in future versions.
The enum base type is
int
.
