### Class

# GskRenderer

#### Description [src]

    abstract class Gsk.Renderer : GObject.Object {
      /* No available fields */
    }

`GskRenderer` is a class that renders a scene graph defined via a tree of `GskRenderNode` instances.

Typically you will use a `GskRenderer` instance to repeatedly call `gsk_renderer_render()` to update the contents of its associated `GdkSurface`.

It is necessary to realize a `GskRenderer` instance using `gsk_renderer_realize()` before calling `gsk_renderer_render()`, in order to create the appropriate windowing system resources needed to render the scene.

###### gsk_renderer_is_realized

Checks whether the `renderer` is realized or not.

###### gsk_renderer_realize

Creates the resources needed by the `renderer` to render the scene graph.

###### gsk_renderer_render

###### gsk_renderer_render_texture

Renders the scene graph, described by a tree of `GskRenderNode` instances, to a `GdkTexture`.

###### gsk_renderer_unrealize

Releases all the resources created by gsk_renderer_realize().
