Constructor

CoglSubTexturenew

Declaration [src]

CoglTexture*
cogl_sub_texture_new (
  CoglContext* ctx,
  CoglTexture* parent_texture,
  int sub_x,
  int sub_y,
  int sub_width,
  int sub_height
)

Description [src]

Creates a high-level CoglSubTexture representing a sub-region of any other CoglTexture. The sub-region must strictly lye within the bounds of the parent_texture. The returned texture implements the CoglMetaTexture interface because it’s not a low level texture that hardware can understand natively.

Remember: Unless you are using high level drawing APIs such as cogl_rectangle() or other APIs documented to understand the CoglMetaTexture interface then you need to use the CoglMetaTexture interface to resolve a CoglSubTexture into a low-level texture before drawing.

Parameters

ctx

Type: CoglContext

A CoglContext pointer.

The data is owned by the caller of the function.
parent_texture

Type: CoglTexture

The full texture containing a sub-region you want to make a CoglSubTexture from.

The data is owned by the caller of the function.
sub_x

Type: int

The top-left x coordinate of the parent region to make a texture from.

sub_y

Type: int

The top-left y coordinate of the parent region to make a texture from.

sub_width

Type: int

The width of the parent region to make a texture from.

sub_height

Type: int

The height of the parent region to make a texture from.

Return value

Type: CoglTexture

A newly allocated CoglSubTexture representing a sub-region of parent_texture.

The caller of the function takes ownership of the data, and is responsible for freeing it.
