cairo_extend_t

cairo_extend_t is used to describe how pattern color/alpha will be determined for areas "outside" the pattern's natural area, (for example, outside the surface bounds or outside the gradient geometry).

The default extend mode is CAIRO_EXTEND_NONE for surface patterns and CAIRO_EXTEND_PAD for gradient patterns.

New entries may be added in future versions.

Values

ValueMeaning
CAIRO_EXTEND_NONE

pixels outside of the source pattern are fully transparent

CAIRO_EXTEND_REPEAT

the pattern is tiled by repeating

CAIRO_EXTEND_REFLECT

the pattern is tiled by reflecting at the edges (Implemented for surface patterns since 1.6)

CAIRO_EXTEND_PAD

pixels outside of the pattern copy the closest pixel from the source (Since 1.2; but only implemented for surface patterns since 1.6)
