Chromium surface augmenter

surface-augmenter
Surface composition delegation

The global interface exposing surface delegated composition capabilities is used to instantiate an interface extension for a wl_surface object. This extended interface will then allow delegated compostion of the surface contents, effectively disconnecting the direct relationship between the buffer and the surface content (adding support for solid quads and rounded corner for instance).

destroy()
Destroy the surface augmenter.

Informs the server that the client will not be using this protocol object anymore. This does not affect any other objects, augmenter objects included.

create_solid_color_buffer(id: new_id<wl_buffer>, color: array, width: int, height: int)
Argument
Type
Description
idnew_id<wl_buffer>
colorarray
quad color represented by a SkColor4f
widthint
heightint
Creates a solid color buffer

Instantiate a buffer of the given size for the purpose of a solid color quad of a given color.

get_augmented_surface(id: new_id<augmented_surface>, surface: object<wl_surface>)
Argument
Type
Description
idnew_id<augmented_surface>
the new augmenter interface id
surfaceobject<wl_surface>
the surface
Extend surface interface for delegation

Instantiate an interface extension for the given wl_surface to extend composition of its content. If the given wl_surface already has a augmentation object associated, the delegate_exists protocol error is raised.

get_augmented_subsurface(id: new_id<augmented_sub_surface>, subsurface: object<wl_subsurface>)
Argument
Type
Description
idnew_id<augmented_sub_surface>
the new augmenter interface id
subsurfaceobject<wl_subsurface>
the subsurface
Extend sub surface interface for delegation

Instantiate an interface extension for the given wl_subsurface to extend composition of its content. If the given wl_subsurface already has a augmentation object associated, the delegate_exists protocol error is raised.

Argument
Value
Description
augmented_surface_exists0
the surface already has a augmenter object associated

Delegate composition of a wl_surface

An additional interface to a wl_surface object, which allows the client to specify the delegated composition of the surface contents.

destroy()
Remove delegated composition of the surface

The associated wl_surface's augmenter is removed. The change is applied on the next wl_surface.commit.

set_rounded_corners(top_left: fixed, top_right: fixed, bottom_right: fixed, bottom_left: fixed)
Argument
Type
Description
top_leftfixed
top left corner
top_rightfixed
top right corner
bottom_rightfixed
bottom right corner
bottom_leftfixed
bottom left corner
Set the surface rounded corners

[Deprecated] Informs the server that it must apply the rounded corners mask filter that shall be applied on next commit. Use set_rounded_corners_bounds instead.

set_destination_size(width: fixed, height: fixed)
Argument
Type
Description
widthfixed
width of the surface
heightfixed
height of the surface
Set the surface destination viewport size, with subpixel accuracy

Sets the surface destination viewport size, with subpixel accuracy. This state is double-buffered, and is applied on the next wl_surface.commit.

set_rounded_clip_bounds(x: int, y: int, width: int, height: int, top_left: fixed, top_right: fixed, bottom_right: fixed, bottom_left: fixed)
Argument
Type
Description
xint
yint
widthint
heightint
top_leftfixed
top left corner
top_rightfixed
top right corner
bottom_rightfixed
bottom right corner
bottom_leftfixed
bottom left corner
Set the surface rounded clip bounds

Informs the server that it must apply the rounded clipping mask filter that shall be applied on next commit. The mask can be uniform for several surfaces and applied uniformally so that two or more surfaces visually look as a single surface with rounded corners. Please note this is can only be used on surfaces that are used as overlays, which must not have any subtrees. The rounding will be ignored if the bounds are outside of the surface.

set_background_color(color: array)
Argument
Type
Description
colorarray
overlay color represented by a SkColor4f
Sets a background color of this surface

Sets a background color of a this surface. This information will be associated with the next buffer commit. Please note this is different from solid color buffers, which creates a new buffer instance, and rather provides additional information how the buffer should be composited. Passing empty array means the background color is reset. The default value is determined by the Wayland compositor then.

error { bad_value, no_surface } 
Argument
Value
Description
bad_value0
negative values in radius or size
no_surface1
the wl_surface was destroyed

Delegate composition of a wl_subsurface

An additional interface to a wl_subsurface object, which allows the client to specify the delegated composition of the surface contents.

destroy()
Remove delegated composition of the surface

The associated wl_surface's augmenter is removed. The change is applied on the next wl_surface.commit.

set_position(x: fixed, y: fixed)
Argument
Type
Description
xfixed
x coordinate in the parent surface
yfixed
y coordinate in the parent surface
Sets a subsurface position with subpixel accuracy

This schedules a sub-surface position change. The sub-surface will be moved so that its origin (top left corner pixel) will be at the location x, y of the parent surface coordinate system. The coordinates are not restricted to the parent surface area. Negative values are allowed.

The scheduled coordinates will take effect whenever the state of the parent surface is applied. When this happens depends on whether the parent surface is in synchronized mode or not. See wl_subsurface.set_sync and wl_subsurface.set_desync for details.

If more than one set_position request is invoked by the client before the commit of the parent surface, the position of a new request always replaces the scheduled position from any previous request.

The initial position is 0, 0. This state is double-buffered, and is applied on the next wl_surface.commit.

set_clip_rect(x: fixed, y: fixed, width: fixed, height: fixed)
Argument
Type
Description
xfixed
x coordinate in the parent surface
yfixed
y coordinate in the parent surface
widthfixed
width of the clip rect
heightfixed
height of the clip rect
Sets a subsurface clip rect with subpixel accuracy

This schedules a clip rect to be applied when drawing this sub-surface. The clip will be placed with its origin (top left corner pixel) at the location x, y of the parent surface coordinate system. The coordinates are not restricted to the parent surface area. Negative x and y values are allowed.

If all of x, y, width and height are -1.0, the clip rect is unset instead.

Initially, surfaces have no clip set. This state is double-buffered, and is applied on the next wl_surface.commit.

set_transform(matrix: array)
Argument
Type
Description
matrixarray
size 6 affine matrix, or size 0 for identity matrix
Sets a subsurface transform as an affine matrix

This schedules a transform to be applied when drawing this sub-surface. This transform does not apply to any child surfaces of this sub-surface.

The matrix should be passed as an array of 6 floats in column major order. An empty array can be sent to set the transform to the identity matrix.

The initial transform is identity. This state is double-buffered, and is applied on the next wl_surface.commit.

error { invalid_size } 
Argument
Value
Description
invalid_size0
array sent with invalid dimensions
