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 (or other objects) 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 );

wxBLACK_BRUSH

wxBrush * wxBLACK_BRUSH

Black brush.

Definition: brush.h:291

wxGraphicsBrush

A wxGraphicsBrush is a native representation of a brush.

Definition: graphics.h:1732

wxGraphicsObject::GetRenderer

wxGraphicsRenderer * GetRenderer() const

Returns the renderer that was used to create this instance, or nullptr if it has not been initialized...

wxGraphicsPath

A wxGraphicsPath is a native representation of a geometric path.

Definition: graphics.h:21

◆ CreateBitmap()

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

pure virtual

Creates wxGraphicsBitmap from an existing wxBitmap.

Returns: An invalid wxNullGraphicsBitmap on failure.

◆ CreateBitmapFromImage()

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

pure virtual

Creates wxGraphicsBitmap from an existing wxImage.

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

Returns: An invalid wxNullGraphicsBitmap on failure.

Since: 2.9.3

◆ CreateBitmapFromNativeBitmap()

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, a CGImage pointer under macOS or a cairo_surface_t pointer when using Cairo under any platform.

Notice that this method takes ownership of bitmap, i.e. it will be destroyed when the returned wxGraphicsBitmap is.

◆ CreateBrush()

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

pure virtual

Creates a native brush from a wxBrush.

◆ CreateContext() [1/5]

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

pure virtual

Creates a wxGraphicsContext from a wxEnhMetaFileDC.

This function, as wxEnhMetaFileDC itself, is only available only under MSW (but not for the Direct2D renderer).

◆ CreateContext() [2/5]

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

pure virtual

Creates a wxGraphicsContext from a wxMemoryDC.

◆ CreateContext() [3/5]

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

pure virtual

Creates a wxGraphicsContext from a wxPrinterDC.

Remarks: Not implemented for the Direct2D renderer (on MSW).

◆ CreateContext() [4/5]

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

pure virtual

Creates a wxGraphicsContext from a wxWindowDC.

◆ CreateContext() [5/5]

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

pure virtual

Creates a wxGraphicsContext from a wxWindow.

◆ CreateContextFromImage()

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

◆ CreateContextFromNativeContext()

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 GDI+, an ID2D1RenderTarget pointer for Direct2D, a cairo_t pointer or HDC for Cairo on MSW, or a cairo_t pointer for Cairo on any other platform.

◆ CreateContextFromNativeHDC()

static wxGraphicsContext* wxGraphicsRenderer::CreateContextFromNativeHDC ( WXHDC dc )

static

Creates a wxGraphicsContext from a native DC handle.

Windows only.

Since: 3.1.1

◆ CreateContextFromNativeWindow()

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

pure virtual

Creates a wxGraphicsContext from a native window.

◆ CreateContextFromUnknownDC()

wxGraphicsContext* wxGraphicsRenderer::CreateContextFromUnknownDC ( wxDC & dc )

Creates a wxGraphicsContext from a DC of unknown specific type.

Creates a wxGraphicsContext if dc is a supported type (i.e. has a corresponding CreateContext() method, e.g. wxWindowDC or wxMemoryDC).

This method is only useful as a helper in generic code that operates with wxDC and doesn't known its exact type. Use the appropriate CreateContext() overload instead if you know what the DC is (e.g., wxWindowDC).

Returns: nullptr if the DC is unsupported.

See also: wxGraphicsContext::CreateFromUnknownDC()

Since: 3.1.3

◆ CreateFont() [1/2]

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.

◆ CreateFont() [2/2]

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 (normally pixels). Notice that this is different from the overload taking wxFont as wxFont's 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

◆ CreateFontAtDPI()

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

pure virtual

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

The specified DPI is used to convert the (fractional) wxFont point-size to a fractional pixel-size.

Since: 3.1.3

◆ CreateImageFromBitmap()

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`
	)

Returns the name of the technology used by the renderer.

Currently, this function returns "gdiplus" for the Windows GDI+ implementation, "direct2d" for Windows Direct2D, "cairo" for Cairo and "cg" for macOS CoreGraphics.

Remarks: 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

◆ GetVersion()

virtual void wxGraphicsRenderer::GetVersion	(	int *	major,
		int *	minor = `nullptr`,
		int *	micro = `nullptr`
	)		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.
