Surface.createSimilar - multiple declarations

Function Surface.createSimilar

Create a new surface that is as compatible as possible with an existing surface. For example the new surface will have the same fallback resolution and font options as other. Generally, the new surface will also use the same backend as other, unless that is not possible for some reason. The type of the returned surface may be examined with Surface.getType().

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

Prototype

static Surface createSimilar(
  Surface other,
  cairo_content_t content,
  int width,
  int height
);

Parameters

NameDescription
other an existing surface used to select the backend of the new surface
content the content for the new surface
width width of the new surface, (in device-space units)
height height of the new surface (in device-space units)
