Returns :

A newly-created canvas.


gnome_canvas_new_aa ()

GtkWidget*  gnome_canvas_new_aa             (void);

Creates a new empty canvas in antialiased mode. You should push the GdkRGB visual and colormap before calling this functions, and they can be popped afterwards.

Returns :

A newly-created antialiased canvas.

y1 :

Upper limit of the scrolling region.

x2 :

Rightmost limit of the scrolling region.

                                             gboolean center_scroll_region);

When the scrolling region of the canvas is smaller than the canvas window, e.g. the allocation of the canvas, it can be either centered on the window or simply made to be on the upper-left corner on the window. This function lets you configure this property.

canvas :

A canvas.

center_scroll_region :

Whether to center the scrolling region in the canvas window when it is smaller than the canvas' allocation.


gnome_canvas_get_center_scroll_region ()

gboolean    gnome_canvas_get_center_scroll_region
                                            (GnomeCanvas *canvas);

                                             double n);

Sets the zooming factor of a canvas by specifying the number of pixels that correspond to one canvas unit.

The anchor point for zooming, i.e. the point that stays fixed and all others zoom inwards or outwards from it, depends on whether the canvas is set to center the scrolling region or not. You can control this using the gnome_canvas_set_center_scroll_region() function. If the canvas is set to center the scroll region, then the center of the canvas window is used as the anchor point for zooming. Otherwise, the upper-left corner of the canvas window is used as the anchor point.

canvas :

A canvas.

n :

The number of pixels that correspond to one canvas unit.


gnome_canvas_scroll_to ()

void        gnome_canvas_scroll_to          (GnomeCanvas *canvas,

                                             int cy);

Makes a canvas scroll to the specified offsets, given in canvas pixel units. The canvas will adjust the view so that it is not outside the scrolling region. This function is typically not used, as it is better to hook scrollbars to the canvas layout's scrolling adjusments.

canvas :

A canvas.

cx :

Horizontal scrolling offset in canvas pixel units.

cy :

Vertical scrolling offset in canvas pixel units.


gnome_canvas_get_scroll_offsets ()

void        gnome_canvas_get_scroll_offsets (GnomeCanvas *canvas,
                                             int *cx,
                                             int *cy);

Queries the scrolling offsets of a canvas. The values are returned in canvas pixel units.

canvas :

A canvas.

cx :

Horizontal scrolling offset (return value).

cy :

Vertical scrolling offset (return value).


gnome_canvas_update_now ()

void        gnome_canvas_update_now         (GnomeCanvas *canvas);

Forces an immediate update and redraw of a canvas. If the canvas does not have any pending update or redraw requests, then no action is taken. This is typically only used by applications that need explicit control of when the display is updated, like games. It is not needed by normal applications.

canvas :

A canvas.


gnome_canvas_get_item_at ()

GnomeCanvasItem* gnome_canvas_get_item_at   (GnomeCanvas *canvas,
                                             double x,
                                             double y);

x :

X position in world coordinates.

y :

Y position in world coordinates.

Returns :

The sought item, or NULL if no item is at the specified coordinates.

Informs a canvas that the specified area, given as a microtile array, needs to be repainted. To be used only by item implementations.

canvas :

A canvas.

uta :

Microtile array that specifies the area to be redrawn. It will be freed by this function, so the argument you pass will be invalid after you call this function.


gnome_canvas_request_redraw ()

void        gnome_canvas_request_redraw     (GnomeCanvas *canvas,
                                             int x1,

                                             int y2);

Convenience function that informs a canvas that the specified rectangle needs to be repainted. This function converts the rectangle to a microtile array and feeds it to gnome_canvas_request_redraw_uta(). The rectangle includes x1 and y1, but not x2 and y2. To be used only by item implementations.

                                             double *worldy);

Converts window-relative coordinates into world coordinates. You can use this when you need to convert mouse coordinates into world coordinates, for example.

canvas :

A canvas.

winx :

Window-relative X coordinate.

winy :

Window-relative Y coordinate.

worldx :

X world coordinate (return value).

worldy :

Y world coordinate (return value).


gnome_canvas_world_to_window ()

void        gnome_canvas_world_to_window    (GnomeCanvas *canvas,
                                             double worldx,

                                             double *winy);

Converts world coordinates into window-relative coordinates.

canvas :

A canvas.

worldx :

World X coordinate.

worldy :

World Y coordinate.

winx :

X window-relative coordinate.

winy :

Y window-relative coordinate.


gnome_canvas_get_color ()

int         gnome_canvas_get_color          (GnomeCanvas *canvas,
                                             const char *spec,
                                             GdkColor *color);

Allocates a color based on the specified X color specification. As a convenience to item implementations, it returns TRUE if the color was allocated, or FALSE if the specification was NULL. A NULL color specification is considered as "transparent" by the canvas.

canvas :

A canvas.

spec :

X color specification, or NULL for "transparent".

color :

Returns the allocated color.

Returns :

TRUE if spec is non-NULL and the color is allocated. If spec is NULL, then returns FALSE.


gnome_canvas_get_color_pixel ()

gulong      gnome_canvas_get_color_pixel    (GnomeCanvas *canvas,
                                             guint rgba);

Allocates a color from the RGBA value passed into this function. The alpha opacity value is discarded, since normal X colors do not support it.

canvas :

A canvas.

rgba :

RGBA color specification.

Returns :

Allocated pixel value corresponding to the specified color.


gnome_canvas_set_stipple_origin ()

void        gnome_canvas_set_stipple_origin (GnomeCanvas *canvas,
                                             GdkGC *gc);

Sets the stipple origin of the specified GC as is appropriate for the canvas, so that it will be aligned with other stipple patterns used by canvas items. This is typically only needed by item implementations.

canvas :

A canvas.

gc :

GC on which to set the stipple origin.


gnome_canvas_set_dither ()

void        gnome_canvas_set_dither         (GnomeCanvas *canvas,
                                             GdkRgbDither dither);

Controls dithered rendering for antialiased canvases. The value of dither should be GDK_RGB_DITHER_NONE, GDK_RGB_DITHER_NORMAL, or GDK_RGB_DITHER_MAX. The default canvas setting is GDK_RGB_DITHER_NORMAL.

canvas :

A canvas.

dither :

Type of dithering used to render an antialiased canvas.


gnome_canvas_get_dither ()

GdkRgbDither gnome_canvas_get_dither        (GnomeCanvas *canvas);

Returns the type of dithering used to render an antialiased canvas.

canvas :

A canvas.

Returns :

The dither setting.
