Nope.

This code originally existed inside the X server, and was extracted out
so that cairo could share it for its image fallbacks.

But other than X and cairo, it's not anticipated that there will be any
other users of this code. One can get at most all of its functionality
by using cairo and cairo_image_surface_t. And cairo is documented, and
is actually designed to be easy to use.

So the question is, what is it that you are wanting to do with pixman?
And could you just use cairo to do it?
