What i am concerned here is what are the APIs for getting the data and then setting it as a source.I tried with these APIs but i dont know whether this is correct or not.     cairo_pattern_t* cairoPattern = cairo_pattern_create_for_surface(mData->mSurface);     cairo_set_source(ctx, cairoPattern);     cairo_paint(); Note: ctx is attached to another cairo surface.. To which i want to draw the original contents Is this correct or not? >And just to clarify, cairo's scaling works in the same fashion. It >scales the source (which may be an  image or something else) and >paints it to the target. It never changes the source image. Thats true. But here what i want to paint the image in the target without scaling it. That is with the original size. thanks <div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">----- Original Message ---- From: Kalle Vahlman <kalle.vahlman@gmail.com> To: anurag swarnkar <anu_swar10@yahoo.co.in> Cc: cairo@cairographics.org Sent: Tuesday, 29 January, 2008 2:13:07 PM Subject: Re: [cairo] How to resize the cairo surface ? 2008/1/29, anurag swarnkar <<a ymailto="mailto:anu_swar10@yahoo.co.in" href="mailto:anu_swar10@yahoo.co.in">anu_swar10@yahoo.co.in</a>>: > > Hi All, > > I have seen that there is an APi in cairo for scaling an image. > But if I the want to resize the cairo surface without actually scaling the > image how is this possible in cairo.

Only through creating a bigger surface and transferring the data with 'cairo_set_source_surface() ; cairo_paint()'. The only surface type that seems to have any notion of resize (in cairo API) is xlib, and that is for reacting to outside changes to the native drawable. And just to clarify, cairo's scaling works in the same fashion. It scales the source (which may be an  image or something else) and paints it to the target. It never changes the source image. -- Kalle Vahlman, <a ymailto="mailto:zuh@iki.fi" href="mailto:zuh@iki.fi">zuh@iki.fi</a> Powered by <a href="http://movial.fi" target="_blank">http://movial.fi</a> Interesting stuff at <a href="http://syslog.movial.fi" target="_blank">http://syslog.movial.fi</a> </div> </div></div> <hr size=1></hr> 5, 50, 500, 5000 - Store N number of mails in your inbox. <a href="http://in.rd.yahoo.com/tagline_mail_4/*http://help.yahoo.com/l/in/yahoo/mail/yahoomail/tools/tools-08.html/">Click here.</a></body></html>
