[cairo] cairo_surface_t to GdkPixbuf conversion

[zaheer ahmad]

Hi,
Thanks for the quick response. I tried the api gdk_pixbuf_get_from_drawable(
however it does not seem to work with a cairo_surface_t, is cairo_surface_t
a GdkDrawable i think its not?

cairo_sur = cairo_surface_create_for_image(...)

GdkPixbuf *pix  = gdk_pixbuf_get_from_drawable(NULL,
(GdkDrawable*)cairo_sur, 0,0,0,0, width, height);
returns empty.

Let me know if somethings wrong above.

I see a patch that does this (surface_to_pixbuf)

will try and let u know..


thanks,
Zaheer
