Other * configuration parameters are associated with framebuffers too such * as whether the framebuffer supports multi-sampling (an anti-aliasing * technique) or dithering. * * There are two kinds of framebuffer in Cogl, #CoglOnscreen * framebuffers and #CoglOffscreen framebuffers. As the names imply * offscreen framebuffers are for rendering something offscreen * (perhaps to a texture which is bound as one of the color buffers). * The exact semantics of onscreen framebuffers depends on the window * system backend that you are using, but typically you can expect * rendering to a #CoglOnscreen framebuffer will be immediately * visible to the user. * * If you want to create a new framebuffer then you should start by * looking at the #CoglOnscreen and #CoglOffscreen constructor * functions, such as cogl_offscreen_new_to_texture() or * cogl_onscreen_new(). The #CoglFramebuffer interface deals with * all aspects that are common between those two types of framebuffer. * * Setup of a new CoglFramebuffer happens in two stages. There is a * configuration stage where you specify all the options and ancillary * buffers you want associated with your framebuffer and then when you * are happy with the configuration you can "allocate" the framebuffer * using cogl_framebuffer_allocate (). Technically explicitly calling * cogl_framebuffer_allocate () is optional for convenience and the * framebuffer will automatically be allocated when you first try to * draw to it, but if you do the allocation manually then you can * also catch any possible errors that may arise from your * configuration. */ #ifdef COGL_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_API #define cogl_onscreen_new cogl_onscreen_new_EXP #define COGL_FRAMEBUFFER(X) ((CoglFramebuffer *)(X)) #define cogl_framebuffer_allocate cogl_framebuffer_allocate_EXP gboolean cogl_framebuffer_allocate (CoglFramebuffer *framebuffer, GError **error); #define cogl_framebuffer_get_width cogl_framebuffer_get_width_EXP int cogl_framebuffer_get_width (CoglFramebuffer *framebuffer); #define cogl_framebuffer_get_height cogl_framebuffer_get_height_EXP int cogl_framebuffer_get_height (CoglFramebuffer *framebuffer); #define cogl_framebuffer_set_viewport cogl_framebuffer_set_viewport_EXP void cogl_framebuffer_set_viewport (CoglFramebuffer *framebuffer, float x, float y, float width, float height); #define cogl_framebuffer_get_viewport_x cogl_framebuffer_get_viewport_x_EXP float cogl_framebuffer_get_viewport_x (CoglFramebuffer *framebuffer); #define cogl_framebuffer_get_viewport_y cogl_framebuffer_get_viewport_y_EXP float cogl_framebuffer_get_viewport_y (CoglFramebuffer *framebuffer); #define cogl_framebuffer_get_viewport_width cogl_framebuffer_get_viewport_width_EXP float cogl_framebuffer_get_viewport_width (CoglFramebuffer *framebuffer); #define cogl_framebuffer_get_viewport_height cogl_framebuffer_get_viewport_height_EXP float cogl_framebuffer_get_viewport_height (CoglFramebuffer *framebuffer); #define cogl_framebuffer_get_viewport4fv cogl_framebuffer_get_viewport4fv_EXP void cogl_framebuffer_get_viewport4fv (CoglFramebuffer *framebuffer, float *viewport); /** * cogl_framebuffer_get_red_bits: * @framebuffer: a pointer to a #CoglFramebuffer * * Retrieves the number of red bits of @framebuffer * * Return value: the number of bits * * Since: 1.8 * Stability: unstable */ #define cogl_framebuffer_get_red_bits cogl_framebuffer_get_red_bits_EXP int cogl_framebuffer_get_red_bits (CoglFramebuffer *framebuffer); /** * cogl_framebuffer_get_green_bits: * @framebuffer: a pointer to a #CoglFramebuffer * * Retrieves the number of green bits of @framebuffer * * Return value: the number of bits * * Since: 1.8 * Stability: unstable */ #define cogl_framebuffer_get_green_bits cogl_framebuffer_get_green_bits_EXP int cogl_framebuffer_get_green_bits (CoglFramebuffer *framebuffer); /** * cogl_framebuffer_get_blue_bits: * @framebuffer: a pointer to a #CoglFramebuffer * * Retrieves the number of blue bits of @framebuffer * * Return value: the number of bits * * Since: 1.8 * Stability: unstable */ #define cogl_framebuffer_get_blue_bits cogl_framebuffer_get_blue_bits_EXP int cogl_framebuffer_get_blue_bits (CoglFramebuffer *framebuffer); /** * cogl_framebuffer_get_alpha_bits: * @framebuffer: a pointer to a #CoglFramebuffer * * Retrieves the number of alpha bits of @framebuffer * * Return value: the number of bits * * Since: 1.8 * Stability: unstable */ #define cogl_framebuffer_get_alpha_bits cogl_framebuffer_get_alpha_bits_EXP int cogl_framebuffer_get_alpha_bits (CoglFramebuffer *framebuffer); /** * cogl_framebuffer_get_dither_enabled: * @framebuffer: a pointer to a #CoglFramebuffer * * Returns whether dithering has been requested for the given @framebuffer. * See cogl_framebuffer_set_dither_enabled() for more details about dithering. * * This may return %TRUE even when the underlying @framebuffer * display pipeline does not support dithering.
