[cairo] sharing a cairo_pattern_t across threads?

[Adam Goode]

Hi,

I am using cairo in an environment that is multi-threaded. There is no
sharing of the cairo_t objects, these each get created locally within
each thread when needed.

I typically draw from a shared pool of read-only image tiles. Right now,
I do cairo_image_surface_create_for_data and then
cairo_set_source_surface each time I need to draw.

Is it possible for me to generate image surfaces (or better yet,
patterns) and share those among cairo_t objects in different threads? I
guess another way to ask it is: is a cairo_pattern_t an immutable object
when used for drawing?


Thanks,

Adam
