#Class SkSurface

SkSurface is responsible for managing the pixels that a canvas draws into. The pixels can be
allocated either in CPU memory (a raster surface) or on the GPU (a GrRenderTarget surface).
SkSurface takes care of allocating a SkCanvas that will draw into the surface. Call
surface->getCanvas() to use that canvas (but don't delete it, it is owned by the surface).
SkSurface always has non-zero dimensions. If there is a request for a new surface, and either
of the requested dimensions are zero, then nullptr will be returned.

rowBytes is large enough to contain info width pixels of Image_Color_Type.

Pixel buffer size should be info height times computed rowBytes.
Pixels are not initialized.
To access pixels after drawing, call flush() or peekPixels.

Allocates raster Surface. Canvas returned by Surface draws directly into pixels.
Allocates and zeroes pixel memory. Pixel memory size is height times width times
four. Pixel memory is deleted when Surface is deleted.

the platform. Surface drawn to output device skips converting its pixel format.

Wraps a GPU-backed texture into Surface. Caller must ensure the texture is
valid for the lifetime of returned Surface. If sampleCnt greater than zero,
creates an intermediate MSAA Surface which is used for drawing backendTexture.

Surface is returned if all parameters are valid. backendTexture is valid if
its pixel configuration agrees with colorSpace and context; for instance, if
backendTexture has an sRGB configuration, then context must support sRGB,
and colorSpace must be present. Further, backendTexture width and height must
not exceed context capabilities, and the context must be able to support
back-end textures.

If SK_SUPPORT_GPU is defined as zero, has no effect and returns nullptr.

Used to wrap a GPU-backed texture as a SkSurface. Skia will treat the texture as
a rendering target only, but unlike NewFromBackendRenderTarget, Skia will manage and own
the associated render target objects (but not the provided texture). Skia will not assume
ownership of the texture and the client must ensure the texture is valid for the lifetime
of the SkSurface.

If SK_SUPPORT_GPU is defined as zero, has no effect and returns nullptr.

#SeeAlso readPixels

#Method ##

#Method bool readPixels(const SkPixmap& dst, int srcX, int srcY)

Copies Rect of pixels to dst.

Source Rect corners are (srcX, srcY) and (this->width(), this->height()).
Destination Rect corners are (0, 0) and (dst.width(), dst.height()).
Copies each readable pixel intersecting both rectangles, without scaling,
converting to dst.colorType() and dst.alphaType() if required.

Pixels are readable when Surface is raster, or backed by a GPU.

The destination pixel storage must be allocated by the caller.

Pixel values are converted only if Image_Color_Type and Image_Alpha_Type
do not match. Only pixels within both source and destination rectangles
are copied. dst contents outside Rect intersection are unchanged.

Pass negative values for srcX or srcY to offset pixels across or down destination.

Does not copy, and returns false if:

#List
# Source and destination rectangles do not intersect. ##
# Pixmap pixels could not be allocated. ##
# dst.rowBytes() is too small to contain one row of pixels. ##
##

#Param dst  storage for pixels copied from Surface ##

#Method bool readPixels(const SkImageInfo& dstInfo, void* dstPixels, size_t dstRowBytes,
                    int srcX, int srcY)

Copies Rect of pixels from Canvas into dstPixels.

Source Rect corners are (srcX, srcY) and (this->width(), this->height()).
Destination Rect corners are (0, 0) and (dstInfo.width(), dstInfo.height()).
Copies each readable pixel intersecting both rectangles, without scaling,
converting to dstInfo.colorType() and dstInfo.alphaType() if required.

Pixels are readable when Surface is raster, or backed by a GPU.

The destination pixel storage must be allocated by the caller.

Pixel values are converted only if Image_Color_Type and Image_Alpha_Type
do not match. Only pixels within both source and destination rectangles
are copied. dstPixels contents outside Rect intersection are unchanged.

Pass negative values for srcX or srcY to offset pixels across or down destination.

Does not copy, and returns false if:

#List
# Source and destination rectangles do not intersect. ##
# Surface pixels could not be converted to dstInfo.colorType() or dstInfo.alphaType(). ##
# dstRowBytes is too small to contain one row of pixels. ##
##

#Param dstInfo  width, height, Image_Color_Type, and Image_Alpha_Type of dstPixels ##
#Param dstPixels  storage for pixels; dstInfo.height() times dstRowBytes, or larger ##
#Param dstRowBytes  size of one destination row; dstInfo.width() times pixel size, or larger ##
#Param srcX  offset into readable pixels in x; may be negative ##
#Param srcY  offset into readable pixels in y; may be negative ##

#Return true if pixels were copied ##

#Description
    A black oval drawn on a red background provides an image to copy.
    readPixels copies one quarter of the Surface into each of the four corners.
    The copied quarter ovals overdraw the original oval.

Copies Rect of pixels from Surface into bitmap.

#Method void flush()

Issues pending Surface commands to the GPU-backed API and resolves any Surface MSAA.

Skia flushes as needed, so it is not necessary to call this if Skia manages
drawing and object lifetime. Call when interleaving Skia calls with native
GPU calls.

#NoExample

#SeeAlso GrBackendSemaphore

#Method ##

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#Method GrSemaphoresSubmitted flushAndSignalSemaphores(int numSemaphores,
                                                   GrBackendSemaphore signalSemaphores[])

Issues pending Surface commands to the GPU-backed API and resolves any Surface MSAA.
After issuing all commands, signalSemaphores of count numSemaphores semaphores
are signaled by the GPU.

For each GrBackendSemaphore in signalSemaphores:
if GrBackendSemaphore is initialized, the GPU back-end uses the semaphore as is;
otherwise, a new semaphore is created and initializes GrBackendSemaphore.

The caller must delete the semaphores created and returned in signalSemaphores.
GrBackendSemaphore can be deleted as soon as this function returns.

If the back-end API is OpenGL only uninitialized GrBackendSemaphores are supported.

If the back-end API is Vulkan semaphores may be initialized or uninitialized.
If uninitialized, created semaphores are valid only with the VkDevice
with which they were created.

If GrSemaphoresSubmitted::kNo is returned, the GPU back-end did not create or
add any semaphores to signal on the GPU; the caller should not instruct the GPU
to wait on any of the semaphores. 

Pending surface commands are flushed regardless of the return result.

#Param numSemaphores  size of signalSemaphores array ##
#Param signalSemaphores  array of semaphore containers ##

#Return one of: GrSemaphoresSubmitted::kYes, GrSemaphoresSubmitted::kNo ##

#NoExample
##

#SeeAlso wait GrBackendSemaphore

#Method ##

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#Method bool wait(int numSemaphores, const GrBackendSemaphore* waitSemaphores)

Inserts a list of GPU semaphores that the current GPU-backed API must wait on before
executing any more commands on the GPU for this surface. Skia will take ownership of the
underlying semaphores and delete them once they have been signaled and waited on.
If this call returns false, then the GPU back-end will not wait on any passed in semaphores,
and the client will still own the semaphores.

#Param numSemaphores  size of waitSemaphores array ##
#Param waitSemaphores  array of semaphore containers ##

#Return true if GPU is waiting on semaphores ##

#Method bool characterize(SkSurfaceCharacterization* characterization) const

Initializes Surface_Characterization that can be used to perform GPU back-end

for each tile.

Return true if Surface supports characterization. Raster_Surface returns false.
