The description in http://library.gnome.org/devel/gdk-pixbuf/unstable/gdk-pixbuf-gdk-pixbuf.html (which seems currently a bit sparse ;) could specifically explain this use-case, so I don't think it would be too far-fetched. OTOH, you could always add gdk_pixbuf_get_data() which would amount to cairo_image_surface_get_data(gdk_pixbuf_get_surface(p))... > If we are trying to keep things cairo internally, can't we just leave > get_pixels as a wrapper around cairo's get_surface/get_data if that's > how people are going to have to use it anyway? ...but not replace get_pixels() due to the incompatible storing formats. -- Kalle Vahlman, z...@iki.fi Powered by http://movial.com Interesting stuff at http://sandbox.movial.com See also http://syslog.movial.fi _______________________________________________ gtk-devel-list mailing list gtk-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list
