## Detailed Description

Directs all graphics requests to an Fl_Image.

After creation of an Fl_Image_Surface object, call set_current() on it, and all subsequent graphics requests will be recorded in the image. It's possible to draw widgets (using Fl_Image_Surface::draw()) or to use any of the Drawing functions or the Color & Font functions. Finally, call image() on the object to obtain a newly allocated Fl_RGB_Image object.
Fl_GL_Window objects can be drawn in the image as well.

Usage example:

Fl_Widget *g = ...; // a widget you want to draw in an image
Fl_Image_Surface *img_surf = new Fl_Image_Surface(g->w(), g->h()); // create an Fl_Image_Surface object
img_surf->set_current(); // direct graphics requests to the image
fl_color(FL_WHITE); fl_rectf(0, 0, g->w(), g->h()); // draw a white background
img_surf->draw(g); // draw the g widget in the image
Fl_RGB_Image* image = img_surf->image(); // get the resulting image
delete img_surf; // delete the img_surf object
Fl_Display_Device::display_device()->set_current(); // direct graphics requests back to the display

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Fl_Image_Surface::Fl_Image_Surface | ( | int | w,
|  | int | h
| ) |  |

The constructor.

Parameters

  w | and
  h | give the size in pixels of the resulting image.

## Member Function Documentation

const char* Fl_Image_Surface::class_name | ( |  | ) |
| inline virtual

Returns the name of the class of this object.

Use of the class_name() function is discouraged because it will be removed from future FLTK versions.

The class of an instance of an Fl_Device subclass can be checked with code such as:

if ( instance->class_name() == Fl_Printer::class_id ) { ... }

Reimplemented from Fl_Surface_Device.

void Fl_Image_Surface::draw | ( | Fl_Widget * | widget,
|  | int | delta_x = `0`,
|  | int | delta_y = `0`
| ) |  |

Draws a widget in the image surface.

Parameters

  widget | any FLTK widget (e.g., standard, custom, window, GL view) to draw in the image
  delta_x | and
  delta_y | give the position in the image of the top-left corner of the widget

Fl_RGB_Image * Fl_Image_Surface::image | ( |  | ) |

Returns an image made of all drawings sent to the Fl_Image_Surface object.

The returned object contains its own copy of the RGB data.

void Fl_Image_Surface::set_current | ( | void |  | ) |
| virtual

Use this drawing surface for future graphics requests.

Reimplemented from Fl_Surface_Device.
