Inheritance diagram for wxGraphicsRenderer:

Detailed Description

A wxGraphicsRenderer is the instance corresponding to the rendering engine used.

There may be multiple instances on a system, if there are different rendering engines present, but there is always only one instance per engine. This instance is pointed back to by all objects created by it (wxGraphicsContext, wxGraphicsPath etc) and can be retrieved through their wxGraphicsObject::GetRenderer() method. Therefore you can create an additional instance of a path etc. by calling wxGraphicsObject::GetRenderer() and then using the appropriate CreateXXX() function of that renderer.

wxGraphicsPath *path = // from somewhere

wxGraphicsBrush *brush = path->GetRenderer()->CreateBrush( *wxBLACK_BRUSH );

Library: wxCore

virtual wxGraphicsBitmap wxGraphicsRenderer::CreateBitmap ( const wxBitmap & bitmap )

pure virtual

Creates wxGraphicsBitmap from an existing wxBitmap.

Returns an invalid wxNullGraphicsBitmap on failure.

virtual wxGraphicsBitmap wxGraphicsRenderer::CreateBitmapFromImage ( const wxImage & image )

pure virtual

Creates wxGraphicsBitmap from an existing wxImage.

This method is more efficient than converting wxImage to wxBitmap first and then calling CreateBitmap() but otherwise has the same effect.

Returns an invalid wxNullGraphicsBitmap on failure.

Since: 2.9.3

virtual wxGraphicsBitmap wxGraphicsRenderer::CreateBitmapFromNativeBitmap ( void * bitmap )

pure virtual

Creates wxGraphicsBitmap from a native bitmap handle.

bitmap meaning is platform-dependent. Currently it's a GDI+ Bitmap pointer under MSW, CGImage pointer under OS X or a cairo_surface_t pointer when using Cairo under any platform.

virtual wxGraphicsBrush wxGraphicsRenderer::CreateBrush ( const wxBrush & brush )

pure virtual

Creates a native brush from a wxBrush.

virtual wxGraphicsContext* wxGraphicsRenderer::CreateContext ( wxWindow * window )

pure virtual

Creates a wxGraphicsContext from a wxWindow.

virtual wxGraphicsContext* wxGraphicsRenderer::CreateContext ( const wxWindowDC & windowDC )

pure virtual

Creates a wxGraphicsContext from a wxWindowDC.

virtual wxGraphicsContext* wxGraphicsRenderer::CreateContext ( const wxMemoryDC & memoryDC )

pure virtual

Creates a wxGraphicsContext from a wxMemoryDC.

virtual wxGraphicsContext* wxGraphicsRenderer::CreateContext ( const wxPrinterDC & printerDC )

pure virtual

Creates a wxGraphicsContext from a wxPrinterDC.

virtual wxGraphicsContext* wxGraphicsRenderer::CreateContext ( const wxEnhMetaFileDC & metaFileDC )

pure virtual

Creates a wxGraphicsContext from a wxEnhMetaFileDC.

This function, as wxEnhMetaFileDC class itself, is only available only under MSW.

wxGraphicsContext* wxGraphicsRenderer::CreateContextFromImage ( wxImage & image )

Creates a wxGraphicsContext associated with a wxImage.

This function is used by wxContext::CreateFromImage() and is not normally called directly.

Since: 2.9.3

virtual wxGraphicsContext* wxGraphicsRenderer::CreateContextFromNativeContext ( void * context )

pure virtual

Creates a wxGraphicsContext from a native context.

This native context must be a CGContextRef for Core Graphics, a Graphics pointer for GDIPlus, or a cairo_t pointer for cairo.

virtual wxGraphicsContext* wxGraphicsRenderer::CreateContextFromNativeWindow ( void * window )

pure virtual

Creates a wxGraphicsContext from a native window.

virtual wxGraphicsFont wxGraphicsRenderer::CreateFont	(	const wxFont &	font,
		const wxColour &	col = `*wxBLACK`
	)

pure virtual

Creates a native graphics font from a wxFont and a text colour.

virtual wxGraphicsFont wxGraphicsRenderer::CreateFont	(	double	sizeInPixels,
		const wxString &	facename,
		int	flags = `wxFONTFLAG_DEFAULT`,
		const wxColour &	col = `*wxBLACK`
	)

pure virtual

Creates a graphics font with the given characteristics.

If possible, the CreateFont() overload taking wxFont should be used instead. The main advantage of this overload is that it can be used without X server connection under Unix when using Cairo.

Parameters

sizeInPixels	Height of the font in user space units, i.e. normally pixels. Notice that this is different from the overload taking wxFont as wxFont size is specified in points.
facename	The name of the font. The same font name might not be available under all platforms so the font name can also be empty to use the default platform font.
flags	Combination of wxFontFlag enum elements. Currently only `wxFONTFLAG_ITALIC` and `wxFONTFLAG_BOLD` are supported. By default the normal font version is used.
col	The font colour, black by default.

Since: 2.9.3

virtual wxImage wxGraphicsRenderer::CreateImageFromBitmap ( const wxGraphicsBitmap & bmp )

pure virtual

Creates a wxImage from a wxGraphicsBitmap.

This method is used by the more convenient wxGraphicsBitmap::ConvertToImage.

virtual wxGraphicsBrush wxGraphicsRenderer::CreateLinearGradientBrush	(	wxDouble	x1,
		wxDouble	y1,
		wxDouble	x2,
		wxDouble	y2,
		const wxGraphicsGradientStops &	stops
	)

pure virtual

Creates a native brush with a linear gradient.

Stops support is new since wxWidgets 2.9.1, previously only the start and end colours could be specified.

virtual wxGraphicsMatrix wxGraphicsRenderer::CreateMatrix	(	wxDouble	a = `1.0`,
		wxDouble	b = `0.0`,
		wxDouble	c = `0.0`,
		wxDouble	d = `1.0`,
		wxDouble	tx = `0.0`,
		wxDouble	ty = `0.0`
	)

pure virtual

Creates a native affine transformation matrix from the passed in values.

The defaults result in an identity matrix.

virtual wxGraphicsContext* wxGraphicsRenderer::CreateMeasuringContext ( )

pure virtual

Creates a wxGraphicsContext that can be used for measuring texts only.

No drawing commands are allowed.

virtual wxGraphicsPath wxGraphicsRenderer::CreatePath ( )

pure virtual

Creates a native graphics path which is initially empty.

virtual wxGraphicsPen wxGraphicsRenderer::CreatePen ( const wxPen & pen )

pure virtual

Creates a native pen from a wxPen.

virtual wxGraphicsBrush wxGraphicsRenderer::CreateRadialGradientBrush	(	wxDouble	xo,
		wxDouble	yo,
		wxDouble	xc,
		wxDouble	yc,
		wxDouble	radius,
		const wxGraphicsGradientStops &	stops
	)

pure virtual

Creates a native brush with a radial gradient.

Stops support is new since wxWidgets 2.9.1, previously only the start and end colours could be specified.

virtual wxGraphicsBitmap wxGraphicsRenderer::CreateSubBitmap	(	const wxGraphicsBitmap &	bitmap,
		wxDouble	x,
		wxDouble	y,
		wxDouble	w,
		wxDouble	h
	)

pure virtual

Extracts a sub-bitmap from an existing bitmap.

Currently this function is implemented in the native MSW and OS X versions but not when using Cairo.

static wxGraphicsRenderer* wxGraphicsRenderer::GetCairoRenderer ( )

static

static wxGraphicsRenderer* wxGraphicsRenderer::GetDefaultRenderer ( )

static

Returns the default renderer on this platform.

On OS X this is the Core Graphics (a.k.a. Quartz 2D) renderer, on MSW the GDIPlus renderer, and on GTK we currently default to the cairo renderer.

virtual wxString wxGraphicsRenderer::GetName ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns the name of the technology used by the renderer.

Currently this function returns "gdiplus" for Windows GDI+ implementation, "cairo" for Cairo implementation and "cg" for OS X CoreGraphics implementation.

Note: the string returned by this method is not user-readable and is expected to be used internally by the program only.

Since: 3.1.0

virtual void wxGraphicsRenderer::GetVersion	(	int *	major,
		int *	minor = `NULL`,
		int *	micro = `NULL`
	)		const

pure virtual

Returns the version major, minor and micro/build of the technology used by the renderer.

Currently this function returns the OS major and minor versions in the parameters with the matching names and sets micro to 0 for the GDI+ and CoreGraphics engines which are considered to be parts of their respective OS.

For Cairo, this is the major,minor,micro version of the Cairo library which is returned.
