tickit_renderbuffer_new - Man Page

create a new render buffer instance

Synopsis

#include <tickit.h>

TickitRenderBuffer *tickit_renderbuffer_new(int lines, int cols);

Link with -ltickit.

Description

tickit_renderbuffer_new() creates a new TickitRenderBuffer instance of the given size. Once constructed, the size is fixed. Initially it has a clipping region covering the entire area, a zero translation offset, no applied masks, no stored pen and no virtual cursor position. It can be reset back to this state at any time by calling tickit_renderbuffer_reset(3).

The reference count of a newly-constructed render buffer instance will be one. This can be incremented or decremented using tickit_renderbuffer_ref(3) and tickit_renderbuffer_unref(3). When its reference count reaches zero it is destroyed.

Return Value

If successful, tickit_renderbuffer_new() returns a pointer to the new instance.
