[cairo] A surface to draw on another surface

[xuzheng_yahoo]

Hi

How about the method like following?

cairo_surface_t *image_A, *image_B;
cairo_t *image_dc_A, *image_dc_B;

image_A = cairo_image_surface_create(CAIRO_FORMAT_ARGB32, 200, 200);
image_B = cairo_image_surface_create(CAIRO_FORMAT_ARGB32, 300, 300);
image_dc_A = cairo_create(image_A);
image_dc_B = cairo_create(image_B);

/* paint rectangle to surface A */
cairo_set_source_rgba(image_dc_A, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.5);
cairo_rectangle(image_dc_A, 0, 0, 200, 200);
cairo_paint(image_dc_A);

cairo_set_source_rgba(image_dc_B, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.5);
cairo_rectangle(image_dc_B, 0, 0, 300, 300);
cairo_paint(image_dc_B);

/* paint surface A to surface B */
cairo_set_source_surface(image_dc_B, image_A, 0, 0);
cairo_paint(image_dc_B);

/* paint surface B to main draw context */
cairo_set_source_surface(main_dc, image_B, 0, 0);
cairo_paint(main_dc);

cairo_destroy(image_dc_A);
cairo_surface_destroy(image_A);
cairo_destroy(image_dc_B);
cairo_surface_destroy(image_B);
