                                                             void *user_data);

### cogl_x11_onscreen_set_foreign_window_xid ()

    void                cogl_x11_onscreen_set_foreign_window_xid
                                                            (CoglOnscreen *onscreen,
                                                             uint32_t xid,

Ideally we would recommend that you let Cogl be responsible for creating any X window required to back an onscreen framebuffer but if you really need to target a window created manually this function can be called before `onscreen` has been allocated to set a foreign XID for your existing X window.

Since Cogl needs, for example, to track changes to the size of an X window it requires that certain events be selected for via the core X protocol. This requirement may also be changed asynchronously so you must pass in an `update` callback to inform you of Cogl's required event mask.

For example if you are using Xlib you could use this API roughly as follows: [{ static void my_update_cogl_x11_event_mask (CoglOnscreen *onscreen, uint32_t event_mask, void *user_data) { XSetWindowAttributes attrs; MyData *data = user_data; attrs.event_mask = event_mask | data->my_event_mask; XChangeWindowAttributes (data->xdpy, data->xwin, CWEventMask, &attrs); }

{ *snip* cogl_x11_onscreen_set_foreign_window_xid (onscreen, data->xwin, my_update_cogl_x11_event_mask, data); *snip* } }]

`onscreen` : | The unallocated framebuffer to associated with an X window.
`xid` : | The XID of an existing X window
`update` : | A callback that notifies of updates to what Cogl requires to be in the core X protocol event mask.
`user_data` : | user data passed to `update`

### cogl_x11_onscreen_get_window_xid ()

    uint32_t            cogl_x11_onscreen_get_window_xid    (CoglOnscreen *onscreen);

Assuming you know the given `onscreen` framebuffer is based on an x11 window this queries the XID of that window. If `cogl_x11_onscreen_set_foreign_window_xid()` was previously called then it will return that same XID otherwise it will be the XID of a window Cogl created internally. If the window has not been allocated yet and a foreign xid has not been set then it's undefined what value will be returned.

It's undefined what this function does if called when not using an x11 based renderer.

`onscreen` : | A CoglOnscreen framebuffer

Since 1.10

Stability Level: Unstable

### cogl_x11_onscreen_get_visual_xid ()

    uint32_t            cogl_x11_onscreen_get_visual_xid    (CoglOnscreen *onscreen);

### cogl_win32_onscreen_set_foreign_window ()

    void                cogl_win32_onscreen_set_foreign_window
                                                            (CoglOnscreen *onscreen,
                                                             HWND hwnd);

Ideally we would recommend that you let Cogl be responsible for creating any window required to back an onscreen framebuffer but if you really need to target a window created manually this function can be called before `onscreen` has been allocated to set a foreign XID for your existing X window.

`onscreen` : | A CoglOnscreen framebuffer
`hwnd` : | A win32 window handle

Stability Level: Unstable

### cogl_win32_onscreen_get_window ()

    HWND                cogl_win32_onscreen_get_window      (CoglOnscreen *onscreen);

Queries the internally created window HWND backing the given `onscreen` framebuffer. If `cogl_win32_onscreen_set_foreign_window()` has been used then it will return the same handle set with that API.

`onscreen` : | A CoglOnscreen framebuffer

Since 1.10

Stability Level: Unstable

### cogl_onscreen_show ()

    void                cogl_onscreen_show                  (CoglOnscreen *onscreen);

This requests to make `onscreen` visible to the user.

Actually the precise semantics of this function depend on the window system currently in use, and if you don't have a multi-windowining system this function may in-fact do nothing.

This function will implicitly allocate the given `onscreen` framebuffer before showing it if it hasn't already been allocated.

When using the Wayland winsys calling this will set the surface to a toplevel type which will make it appear. If the application wants to set a different type for the surface, it can avoid calling `cogl_onscreen_show()` and set its own type directly with the Wayland client API via `cogl_wayland_onscreen_get_surface()`.

### Note

Since Cogl doesn't explicitly track the visibility status of onscreen framebuffers it wont try to avoid redundant window system requests e.g. to show an already visible window. This also means that it's acceptable to alternatively use native APIs to show and hide windows without confusing Cogl.

`onscreen` : | The onscreen framebuffer to make visible

### cogl_onscreen_hide ()

    void                cogl_onscreen_hide                  (CoglOnscreen *onscreen);

This requests to make `onscreen` invisible to the user.

Actually the precise semantics of this function depend on the window system currently in use, and if you don't have a multi-windowining system this function may in-fact do nothing.

This function does not implicitly allocate the given `onscreen` framebuffer before hiding it.

### CoglFrameCallback ()

    void                (*CoglFrameCallback)                (CoglOnscreen *onscreen,
                                                             CoglFrameEvent event,
                                                             CoglFrameInfo *info,
                                                             void *user_data);

Is a callback that can be registered via `cogl_onscreen_add_frame_callback()` to be called when a frame progresses in some notable way.

Please see the documentation for CoglFrameEvent and `cogl_onscreen_add_frame_callback()` for more details about what events can be notified.

`onscreen` : | The onscreen that the frame is associated with
`event` : | A CoglFrameEvent notifying how the frame has progressed
`info` : | The meta information, such as timing information, about the frame that has progressed.
`user_data` : | The user pointer passed to `cogl_onscreen_add_frame_callback()`

Since 1.14

Stability Level: Unstable

### CoglFrameClosure

    typedef struct _CoglClosure CoglFrameClosure;

An opaque type that tracks a CoglFrameCallback and associated user data. A CoglFrameClosure pointer will be returned from `cogl_onscreen_add_frame_callback()` and it allows you to remove a callback later using `cogl_onscreen_remove_frame_callback()`.

Since 1.14

Stability Level: Unstable

### cogl_onscreen_add_frame_callback ()

    CoglFrameClosure *  cogl_onscreen_add_frame_callback    (CoglOnscreen *onscreen,
                                                             CoglFrameCallback callback,
                                                             void *user_data,
                                                             CoglUserDataDestroyCallback destroy);

Installs a `callback` function that will be called for significant events relating to the given `onscreen` framebuffer.

The `callback` will be used to notify when the system compositor is ready for this application to render a new frame. In this case `COGL_FRAME_EVENT_SYNC` will be passed as the event argument to the given `callback` in addition to the CoglFrameInfo corresponding to the frame beeing acknowledged by the compositor.

The `callback` will also be called to notify when the frame has ended. In this case `COGL_FRAME_EVENT_COMPLETE` will be passed as the event argument to the given `callback` in addition to the CoglFrameInfo corresponding to the newly presented frame. The meaning of "ended" here simply means that no more timing information will be collected within the corresponding CoglFrameInfo and so this is a good opportunity to analyse the given info. It does not necessarily mean that the GPU has finished rendering the corresponding frame.

We highly recommend throttling your application according to `COGL_FRAME_EVENT_SYNC` events so that your application can avoid wasting resources, drawing more frames than your system compositor can display.

Is a callback that can be registered via `cogl_onscreen_add_dirty_callback()` to be called when the windowing system determines that a region of the onscreen window has been lost and the application should redraw it.

`onscreen` : | The onscreen that the frame is associated with

Installs a `callback` function that will be called whenever the window system has lost the contents of a region of the onscreen buffer and the application should redraw it to repair the buffer. For example this may happen in a window system without a compositor if a window that was previously covering up the onscreen window has been moved causing a region of the onscreen to be exposed.

The `callback` will be passed a CoglOnscreenDirtyInfo struct which decribes a rectangle containing the newly dirtied region. Note that this may be called multiple times to describe a non-rectangular region composed of multiple smaller rectangles.

The dirty events are separate from `COGL_FRAME_EVENT_SYNC` events so the application should also listen for this event before rendering the dirty region to ensure that the framebuffer is actually ready for rendering.

Is a callback type used with the `cogl_onscreen_add_resize_callback()` allowing applications to be notified whenever an `onscreen` framebuffer is resized.

### Note

Cogl automatically updates the viewport of an `onscreen` framebuffer that is resized so this callback is also an indication that the viewport has been modified too

### Note

A resize callback will only ever be called while dispatching Cogl events from the system mainloop; so for example during `cogl_poll_renderer_dispatch()`. This is so that callbacks shouldn't occur while an application might have arbitrary locks held for example.

`onscreen` : | A CoglOnscreen framebuffer that was resized
`width` : | The new width of `onscreen`
`height` : | The new height of `onscreen`

Registers a `callback` with `onscreen` that will be called whenever the `onscreen` framebuffer changes size.

The `callback` can be removed using `cogl_onscreen_remove_resize_callback()` passing the returned closure pointer.

### Note

Since Cogl automatically updates the viewport of an `onscreen` framebuffer that is resized, a resize callback can also be used to track when the viewport has been changed automatically by Cogl in case your application needs more specialized control over the viewport.

### Note

A resize callback will only ever be called while dispatching Cogl events from the system mainloop; so for example during `cogl_poll_renderer_dispatch()`. This is so that callbacks shouldn't occur while an application might have arbitrary locks held for example.

### cogl_onscreen_swap_buffers ()

    void                cogl_onscreen_swap_buffers          (CoglOnscreen *onscreen);

Swaps the current back buffer being rendered too, to the front for display.

This function also implicitly discards the contents of the color, depth and stencil buffers as if `cogl_framebuffer_discard_buffers()` were used. The significance of the discard is that you should not expect to be able to start a new frame that incrementally builds on the contents of the previous frame.

### Note

It is highly recommended that applications use `cogl_onscreen_swap_buffers_with_damage()` instead whenever possible and also use the `cogl_onscreen_get_buffer_age()` api so they can perform incremental updates to older buffers instead of having to render a full buffer for every frame.

### cogl_onscreen_swap_buffers_with_damage ()

    void                cogl_onscreen_swap_buffers_with_damage

                                                             int n_rectangles);

Swaps the current back buffer being rendered too, to the front for display and provides information to any system compositor about what regions of the buffer have changed (damage) with respect to the last swapped buffer.

This function has the same semantics as `cogl_framebuffer_swap_buffers()` except that it additionally allows applications to pass a list of damaged rectangles which may be passed on to a compositor so that it can minimize how much of the screen is redrawn in response to this applications newly swapped front buffer.

For example if your application is only animating a small object in the corner of the screen and everything else is remaining static then it can help the compositor to know that only the bottom right corner of your newly swapped buffer has really changed with respect to your previously swapped front buffer.

If `n_rectangles` is 0 then the whole buffer will implicitly be reported as damaged as if `cogl_onscreen_swap_buffers()` had been called.

This function also implicitly discards the contents of the color, depth and stencil buffers as if `cogl_framebuffer_discard_buffers()` were used. The significance of the discard is that you should not expect to be able to start a new frame that incrementally builds on the contents of the previous frame. If you want to perform incremental updates to older back buffers then please refer to the `cogl_onscreen_get_buffer_age()` api.

Whenever possible it is recommended that applications use this function instead of `cogl_onscreen_swap_buffers()` to improve performance when running under a compositor.

### Note

It is highly recommended to use this API in conjunction with the `cogl_onscreen_get_buffer_age()` api so that your application can perform incremental rendering based on old back buffers.

`onscreen` : | A CoglOnscreen framebuffer
`rectangles` : | An array of integer 4-tuples representing damaged rectangles as (x, y, width, height) tuples.

Swaps a region of the back buffer being rendered too, to the front for display. `rectangles` represents the region as array of `n_rectangles` each defined by 4 sequential (x, y, width, height) integers.

This function also implicitly discards the contents of the color, depth and stencil buffers as if `cogl_framebuffer_discard_buffers()` were used. The significance of the discard is that you should not expect to be able to start a new frame that incrementally builds on the contents of the previous frame.

### Warning

`cogl_onscreen_add_swap_buffers_callback` has been deprecated since version 1.14 and should not be used in newly-written code. Use `cogl_onscreen_add_frame_callback()` instead

Installs a `callback` function that should be called whenever a swap buffers request (made using `cogl_onscreen_swap_buffers()`) for the given `onscreen` completes.

### Note

Applications should check for the `COGL_FEATURE_ID_SWAP_BUFFERS_EVENT` feature before using this API. It's currently undefined when and if registered callbacks will be called if this feature is not supported.

We recommend using this mechanism when available to manually throttle your applications (in conjunction with `cogl_onscreen_set_swap_throttled()`) so your application will be able to avoid long blocks in the driver caused by throttling when you request to swap buffers too quickly.
