cairo_format_t

cairo_format_t is used to identify the memory format of image data.

Values

ValueMeaning
CAIRO_FORMAT_INVALID-1

no such format exists or is supported.

CAIRO_FORMAT_ARGB320

each pixel is a 32-bit quantity, with alpha in the upper 8 bits, then red, then green, then blue. The 32-bit quantities are stored native-endian. Pre-multiplied alpha is used. (That is, 50% transparent red is 0x80800000, not 0x80ff0000.)

CAIRO_FORMAT_RGB241

each pixel is a 32-bit quantity, with the upper 8 bits unused. Red, Green, and Blue are stored in the remaining 24 bits in that order.

CAIRO_FORMAT_A82

each pixel is a 8-bit quantity holding an alpha value.

CAIRO_FORMAT_A13

each pixel is a 1-bit quantity holding an alpha value. Pixels are packed together into 32-bit quantities. The ordering of the bits matches the endianess of the platform. On a big-endian machine, the first pixel is in the uppermost bit, on a little-endian machine the first pixel is in the least-significant bit.

CAIRO_FORMAT_RGB16_5654

each pixel is a 16-bit quantity with red in the upper 5 bits, then green in the middle 6 bits, and blue in the lower 5 bits.
