Detailed Description

The global interface exposing sub-surface compositing capabilities. A wl_surface, that has sub-surfaces associated, is called the parent surface. Sub-surfaces can be arbitrarily nested and create a tree of sub-surfaces.

The root surface in a tree of sub-surfaces is the main surface. The main surface cannot be a sub-surface, because sub-surfaces must always have a parent.

A main surface with its sub-surfaces forms a (compound) window. For window management purposes, this set of wl_surface objects is to be considered as a single window, and it should also behave as such.

The aim of sub-surfaces is to offload some of the compositing work within a window from clients to the compositor. A prime example is a video player with decorations and video in separate wl_surface objects. This should allow the compositor to pass YUV video buffer processing to dedicated overlay hardware when possible.

§ wl_subcompositor_destroy()

static void wl_subcompositor_destroy ( struct wl_subcompositor *  wl_subcompositor)
inlinestatic

Informs the server that the client will not be using this protocol object anymore. This does not affect any other objects, wl_subsurface objects included.

§ wl_subcompositor_get_subsurface()

static struct wl_subsurface* wl_subcompositor_get_subsurface ( struct wl_subcompositor *  wl_subcompositor,
struct wl_surface *  surface,
struct wl_surface *  parent 
)
static

Create a sub-surface interface for the given surface, and associate it with the given parent surface. This turns a plain wl_surface into a sub-surface.

The to-be sub-surface must not already have another role, and it must not have an existing wl_subsurface object. Otherwise a protocol error is raised.
