desktop user interface surface base interface

An interface that may be implemented by a wl_surface, for implementations that provide a desktop-style user interface.

It provides a base set of functionality required to construct user interface elements requiring management by the compositor, such as toplevel windows, menus, etc. The types of functionality are split into xdg_surface roles.

Creating an xdg_surface does not set the role for a wl_surface. In order to map an xdg_surface, the client must create a role-specific object using, e.g., get_toplevel, get_popup. The wl_surface for any given xdg_surface can have at most one role, and may not be assigned any role not based on xdg_surface.

A role must be assigned before any other requests are made to the xdg_surface object.

The client must call wl_surface.commit on the corresponding wl_surface for the xdg_surface state to take effect.

Creating an xdg_surface from a wl_surface which has a buffer attached or committed is a client error, and any attempts by a client to attach or manipulate a buffer prior to the first xdg_surface.configure call must also be treated as errors.

After creating a role-specific object and setting it up, the client must perform an initial commit without any buffer attached. The compositor will reply with an xdg_surface.configure event. The client must acknowledge it and is then allowed to attach a buffer to map the surface.

Mapping an xdg_surface-based role surface is defined as making it possible for the surface to be shown by the compositor. Note that a mapped surface is not guaranteed to be visible once it is mapped.

For an xdg_surface to be mapped by the compositor, the following conditions must be met: (1) the client has assigned an xdg_surface-based role to the surface (2) the client has set and committed the xdg_surface state and the role-dependent state to the surface (3) the client has committed a buffer to the surface

A newly-unmapped surface is considered to have met condition (1) out of the 3 required conditions for mapping a surface if its role surface has not been destroyed, i.e. the client must perform the initial commit again before attaching a buffer.

See also the Request enum for this interface.

Implementations

The configure event marks the end of a configure sequence. A configure sequence is a set of one or more events configuring the state of the xdg_surface, including the final xdg_surface.configure event.

Where applicable, xdg_surface surface roles will during a configure sequence extend this event as a latched state sent as events before the xdg_surface.configure event. Such events should be considered to make up a set of atomically applied configuration states, where the xdg_surface.configure commits the accumulated state.

Clients should arrange their surface for the new states, and then send an ack_configure request with the serial sent in this configure event at some point before committing the new surface.

If the client receives multiple configure events before it can respond to one, it is free to discard all but the last event it received.
