Low level Evas canvas functions. Sub groups will present more high level ones, though.

Most of these functions deal with low level Evas actions, like:

create/destroy raw canvases, not bound to any displaying engine
tell a canvas i got focused (in a windowing context, for example)
tell a canvas a region should not be calculated anymore in rendering
tell a canvas to render its contents, immediately

Most users will be using Evas by means of the Ecore_Evas wrapper, which deals with all the above mentioned issues automatically for them. Thus, you'll be looking at this section only if you're building low level stuff.

The groups within present you functions that deal with the canvas directly, too, and not yet with its objects. They are the functions you need to use at a minimum to get a working canvas.

Some of the functions in this group are exemplified here.

void evas_key_lock_add	(	Evas_Canvas *	obj,
		const char *	keyname
	)

Adds the keyname key to the current list of lock keys.

Locks are keys like caps lock, num lock or scroll lock, i.e., keys which are meant to be pressed once -- toggling a binary state which is bound to it -- and thus altering the behavior of all subsequently pressed keys somehow, depending on its state. Evas is so that these keys can be defined by the user.

This allows custom locks to be added to the evas system at run time. It is then possible to set and unset lock keys programmatically for other parts of the program to check and act on. Programmers using Evas would check for lock keys on key event callbacks using evas_key_lock_is_set.

Note:: If the programmer instantiates the canvas by means of the ecore_evas_new() family of helper functions, Ecore will take care of registering on it all standard lock keys: "Caps_Lock", "Num_Lock", "Scroll_Lock".

Parameters:

[in]	obj	The object.
[in]	keyname	The name of the key to add to the locks list.

Since :: 2.3.1

Modifiers are keys like shift, alt and ctrl, i.e. keys which are meant to be pressed together with others, altering the behavior of the second keys pressed. Evas is so that these keys can be user defined.

This call allows custom modifiers to be added to the Evas system at run time. It is then possible to set and unset modifier keys programmatically for other parts of the program to check and act on. Programmers using Evas would check for modifier keys on key event callbacks using evas_key_modifier_is_set.

Note:: If the programmer instantiates the canvas by means of the ecore_evas_new family of helper functions, Ecore will take care of registering on it all standard modifiers: "Shift", "Control", "Alt", "Meta", "Hyper", "Super".

Parameters:

[in]	obj	The object.
[in]	keyname	The name of the modifier key to add to the list of Evas modifiers.

void evas_obscured_clear ( Evas_Canvas * obj )

Remove all "obscured regions" from an Evas canvas.

This function removes all the rectangles from the obscured regions list of the canvas e. It takes obscured areas added with evas_obscured_rectangle_add and make them again a regions that have to be repainted on rendering updates.

Note:: This is a very low level function, which most of Evas' users wouldn't care about.; This function does not flag the canvas as having its state changed. If you want to re-render it afterwards expecting new contents, you have to add "damage" regions yourself (see evas_damage_rectangle_add).

Parameters:

[in] obj The object.

Since :: 2.3.1

Examples:: evas-events.c.

void evas_obscured_rectangle_add	(	Evas_Canvas *	obj,
		int	x,
		int	y,
		int	w,
		int	h
	)

Add an "obscured region" to an Evas canvas.

This is the function by which one tells an Evas canvas that a part of it must not be repainted. The region must be rectangular and its coordinates inside the canvas viewport are passed in the call. After this call, the region specified won't participate in any form in Evas' calculations and actions during its rendering updates, having its displaying content frozen as it was just after this function took place.

We call it "obscured region" because the most common use case for this rendering (partial) freeze is something else (most probably other canvas) being on top of the specified rectangular region, thus shading it completely from the user's final scene in a display. To avoid unnecessary processing, one should indicate to the obscured canvas not to bother about the non-important area.

The majority of users won't have to worry about this function, as they'll be using just one canvas in their applications, with nothing inset or on top of it in any form.

To make this region one that has to be repainted again, call the function evas_obscured_clear.

Note:: This is a very low level function, which most of Evas' users wouldn't care about.; This function does not flag the canvas as having its state changed. If you want to re-render it afterwards expecting new contents, you have to add "damage" regions yourself (see evas_damage_rectangle_add).

Parameters:

[in]	obj	The object.
[in]	x	The rectangle's top left corner's horizontal coordinate.
[in]	y	The rectangle's top left corner's vertical coordinate.
[in]	w	The rectangle's width.

Render the given Evas canvas asynchronously.

This function only returns true when a frame will be rendered. If the previous frame is still rendering, false will be returned so the users know not to wait for the updates callback and just return to their main loop.

If a func callback is given, a list of updated areas will be generated and the function will be called from the main thread after the rendered frame is flushed to the screen. The resulting list should be freed with evas_render_updates_free.

The list is given in the event_info parameter of the callback function.

void evas_render_dump ( Evas_Canvas * obj )

Make the canvas discard as much data as possible used by the engine at runtime.

This function will unload images, delete textures and much more where possible. You may also want to call evas_render_idle_flush immediately prior to this to perhaps discard a little more, though this function should implicitly delete most of what evas_render_idle_flush might discard too.

Parameters:

[in] obj The object.

Since :: 2.3.1

void evas_render_idle_flush ( Evas_Canvas * obj )

Make the canvas discard internally cached data used for rendering.

This function flushes the arrays of delete, active and render objects. Other things it may also discard are: shared memory segments, temporary scratch buffers, cached data to avoid re-compute of that data etc.

Parameters:

[in] obj The object.

Since :: 2.3.1

Eina_List* evas_render_updates ( Evas_Canvas * obj )

Force immediate renderization of the given Evas canvas.

This function forces an immediate renderization update of the given canvas e.

Note:: This is a very low level function, which most of Evas' users wouldn't care about. You might use it, for instance, to grab an Evas' canvas update regions and paint them back, using the canvas' pixmap, on a displaying system working below Evas.; Evas is a stateful canvas. If no operations changing its state took place since the last rendering action, you won't see any changes and this call will be a no-op.

Parameters:

[in] obj The object.

Returns:: A newly allocated list of updated rectangles of the canvas (Eina_Rect structs). Free this list with evas_render_updates_free.

Since :: 2.3.1

int evas_smart_objects_calculate_count_get ( const Evas_Canvas * obj )

This gets the internal counter that counts the number of smart calculations.

Whenever evas performs smart object calculations on the whole canvas it increments a counter by 1. This function returns the value of the smart object calculate counter. It starts with a value of 0 and will increase (and eventually wrap around to negative values and so on) by 1 every time objects are calculated. You can use this counter to ensure you don't re-do calculations withint the same calculation generation/run if the calculations maybe cause self-feeding effects.

Parameters:

[in] obj The object.

Returns:: Number of smart calculations

Eina_List* evas_tree_objects_at_xy_get	(	Evas_Canvas *	obj,
		Efl_Canvas_Object *	stop,
		int	x,
		int	y
	)

Retrieve a list of Evas objects lying over a given position in a canvas.

This function will traverse all the layers of the given canvas, from top to bottom, querying for objects with areas covering the given position. It will enter the smart objects. It will not append to the list pass events as hidden objects. Call eina_list_free on the returned list after usage.

Parameters:

[in]	obj	The object.
[in]	stop	An Evas Object where to stop searching.
[in]	x	The horizontal coordinate of the position.
[in]	y	The vertical coordinate of the position.

Returns:: List of objects

Since :: 3.0
