Expand description

sub-surface compositing

The global interface exposing sub-surface compositing capabilities. A wl_surface, that has sub-surfaces associated, is called the parent surface. Sub-surfaces can be arbitrarily nested and create a tree of sub-surfaces.

The root surface in a tree of sub-surfaces is the main surface. The main surface cannot be a sub-surface, because sub-surfaces must always have a parent.

A main surface with its sub-surfaces forms a (compound) window. For window management purposes, this set of wl_surface objects is to be considered as a single window, and it should also behave as such.

The aim of sub-surfaces is to offload some of the compositing work within a window from clients to the compositor. A prime example is a video player with decorations and video in separate wl_surface objects. This should allow the compositor to pass YUV video buffer processing to dedicated overlay hardware when possible.

This interface has no events.

Implementations

unbind from the subcompositor interface

Informs the server that the client will not be using this protocol object anymore. This does not affect any other objects, wl_subsurface objects included.

give a surface the role sub-surface

Create a sub-surface interface for the given surface, and associate it with the given parent surface. This turns a plain wl_surface into a sub-surface.

The to-be sub-surface must not already have another role, and it must not have an existing wl_subsurface object. Otherwise a protocol error is raised.

Adding sub-surfaces to a parent is a double-buffered operation on the parent (see wl_surface.commit). The effect of adding a sub-surface becomes visible on the next time the state of the parent surface is applied.

This request modifies the behaviour of wl_surface.commit request on the sub-surface, see the documentation on wl_subsurface interface.
