Problems can also occur when using cairo for drawing. One thing that can
|
||||
go wrong is clip handling. If you ever need to reset the clip region on
|
||||
a cairo_t (i.e. use cairo_reset_clip()), you have to to use
|
||||
gdk_cairo_reset_clip() instead. The reason for this is that the cairo_reset_clip() call will remove the initial clip region that limits your drawing to
|
||||
the client-side window at hand, so you will end up drawing over stuff
|
||||
outside the window. You also need to use gdk_cairo_reset_clip() if you
|
||||
use a cairo_t that was not allocated in a double-buffered expose handler
|
||||
and keep it in use after window hierarchy changes (resizing, moving,
|
||||
stacking order changes). The easiest fix for this kind of problem is to
|
||||
simply create a new cairo context for each expose event.
