Canvas

class Canvas

Canvas provides an interface for drawing, and how the drawing is clipped and transformed.

Canvas contains a stack of Matrix and clip values.

Canvas and Paint together provide the state to draw into Surface or BaseDevice. Each Canvas draw call transforms the geometry of the object by the concatenation of all Matrix values in the stack. The transformed geometry is clipped by the intersection of all of clip values in the stack. The Canvas draw calls use Paint to supply drawing state such as color, Typeface, text size, stroke width, Shader and so on.

To draw to a pixel-based destination, create raster surface or GPU surface. Request Canvas from Surface to obtain the interface to draw. Canvas generated by raster surface draws to memory visible to the CPU. Canvas generated by GPU surface uses Vulkan or OpenGL to draw to the GPU.

To draw to a document, obtain Canvas from SVG canvas, document PDF, or PictureRecorder. Document based Canvas and other Canvas subclasses reference BaseDevice describing the destination.

Canvas can be constructed to draw to Bitmap without first creating raster surface. This approach may be deprecated in the future.

Methods

static Canvas.MakeRasterDirect(imageInfo: skia.ImageInfo, pixels: Buffer, rowBytes: int = 0, surfaceProps: SkSurfaceProps = None) → skia.Canvas

Allocates raster Canvas that will draw directly into pixels.

Canvas is returned if all parameters are valid. Valid parameters include: info dimensions are zero or positive; info contains ColorType and AlphaType supported by raster surface; pixels is buffer object of sufficient length; rowBytes is zero or large enough to contain info width pixels of ColorType.

Pass zero for rowBytes to compute rowBytes from info width and size of pixel. If rowBytes is greater than zero, it must be equal to or greater than info width times bytes required for ColorType.

Pixel buffer size should be info height times computed rowBytes. Pixels are not initialized. To access pixels after drawing, call flush() or peekPixels().

Parameters:

• info (skia.ImageInfo) – width, height, ColorType, AlphaType, ColorSpace, of raster surface; width, or height, or both, may be zero

• pixels (Union[bytes,bytearray,memoryview]) – destination pixels buffer

• rowBytes (int) – interval from one Surface row to the next, or zero

• props (skia.SurfaceProps) – LCD striping orientation and setting for device independent fonts; may be None

static Canvas.MakeRasterDirectN32(width: int, height: int, pixels: Buffer, rowBytes: int = 0) → skia.Canvas

Allocates raster Canvas specified by inline image specification.

Subsequent Canvas calls draw into pixels. ColorType is set to ColorType.kN32_ColorType. AlphaType is set to AlphaType.kPremul_AlphaType. To access pixels after drawing, call flush() or peekPixels().

Canvas is returned if all parameters are valid. Valid parameters include: width and height are zero or positive; pixels is buffer object with sufficient length; rowBytes is zero or large enough to contain width pixels of ColorType.kN32_ColorType.

Pass zero for rowBytes to compute rowBytes from width and size of pixel. If rowBytes is greater than zero, it must be equal to or greater than width times bytes required for ColorType.

Pixel buffer size should be height times rowBytes.

Parameters:

• width (int) – pixel column count on raster surface created; must be zero or greater

• height (int) – pixel row count on raster surface created; must be zero or greater

• pixels (Union[bytes,bytearray,memoryview]) – pointer to destination pixels buffer; buffer size should be height times rowBytes

• rowBytes (int) – interval from one Surface row to the next, or zero

   Creates raster Canvas backed by numpy array.

   Subsequent Canvas calls draw into pixels. To access pixels after drawing, call flush() or peekPixels().

   Creates Canvas of the specified dimensions without a Surface.

   Used by subclasses with custom implementations for draw member functions.

   If props equals None, SurfaceProps are created with SurfaceProps.InitType settings, which choose the pixel striping direction and order. Since a platform may dynamically change its direction when the device is rotated, and since a platform may have multiple monitors with different characteristics, it is best not to rely on this legacy behavior.

   zero or greater

   height:

   zero or greater

   props:

   LCD striping orientation and setting for device independent fonts; may be None

4. __init__(self: skia.Canvas, bitmap: skia.Bitmap) -> None

Makes Canvas contents undefined.

Subsequent calls that read Canvas pixels, such as drawing with BlendMode, return undefined results. discard() does not change clip or Matrix.

discard() may do nothing, depending on the implementation of Surface or BaseDevice that created Canvas.

discard() allows optimized performance on subsequent draws by removing cached data associated with Surface or BaseDevice. It is not necessary to call discard() once done with SkCanvas; any cached data is deleted when owning Surface or BaseDevice is deleted.

Canvas.drawAnnotation(self: skia.Canvas, rect: skia.Rect, key: str, value: skia.Data) → None

Associates Rect on Canvas when an annotation; a key-value pair, where the key is an UTF-8 string, and optional value is stored as Data.

Only some canvas implementations, such as recording to Picture, or drawing to document PDF, use annotations.

Parameters:

• rect (skia.Rect) – Rect extent of canvas to annotate

• key (str) – string used for lookup

• value (skia.Data) – data holding value stored in annotation

Canvas.drawArc(self: skia.Canvas, oval: skia.Rect, startAngle: float, sweepAngle: float, useCenter: bool, paint: skia.Paint) → None

Draws arc using clip, Matrix, and Paint paint.

Arc is part of oval bounded by oval, sweeping from startAngle to startAngle plus sweepAngle. startAngle and sweepAngle are in degrees.

startAngle of zero places start point at the right middle edge of oval. A positive sweepAngle places arc end point clockwise from start point; a negative sweepAngle places arc end point counterclockwise from start point. sweepAngle may exceed 360 degrees, a full circle. If useCenter is true, draw a wedge that includes lines from oval center to arc end points. If useCenter is false, draw arc between end points.

If Rect oval is empty or sweepAngle is zero, nothing is drawn.

Parameters:

• oval (skia.Rect) – Rect bounds of oval containing arc to draw

• startAngle (float) – angle in degrees where arc begins

• sweepAngle (float) – sweep angle in degrees; positive is clockwise

• useCenter (bool) – if true, include the center of the oval

• paint (skia.Paint) – Paint stroke or fill, blend, color, and so on, used to draw

Canvas.drawAtlas(self: skia.Canvas, atlas: skia.Image, xform: list[skia.RSXform], tex: list[skia.Rect], colors: list[int], mode: skia.BlendMode, options: skia.SamplingOptions = skia.SamplingOptions(), cullRect: skia.Rect = None, paint: skia.Paint = None) → None

Draws a set of sprites from atlas, using clip, Matrix, and optional Paint paint.

paint uses anti-alias, alpha, ColorFilter, ImageFilter, and BlendMode to draw, if present. For each entry in the array, Rect tex locates sprite in atlas, and RSXform xform transforms it into destination space.

xform, text, and colors if present, must contain count entries. Optional colors are applied for each sprite using BlendMode mode, treating sprite as source and colors as destination. Optional cullRect is a conservative bounds of all transformed sprites. If cullRect is outside of clip, canvas can skip drawing.

If atlas is None, this draws nothing.

Parameters:

• atlas (skia.Image) – Image containing sprites

• xform (List[skia.RSXform]) – RSXform mappings for sprites in atlas

• tex (List[skia.Rect]) – Rect locations of sprites in atlas

• colors (List[int]) – one per sprite, blended with sprite using BlendMode; may be None

• mode (skia.BlendMode) – BlendMode combining colors and sprites

• cullRect (Union[skia.Rect,None]) – bounds of transformed sprites for efficient clipping; may be None

• paint (Union[skia.Paint,None]) – ColorFilter, ImageFilter, BlendMode, and so on; may be None

Canvas.drawBitmap(self: skia.Canvas, bitmap: skia.Bitmap, left: float, top: float, paint: skia.Paint = None) → None

Draws Bitmap bitmap, with its top-left corner at (left, top), using clip, Matrix, and optional Paint paint.

If Paint paint is not nullptr, apply ColorFilter, alpha, ImageFilter, BlendMode, and DrawLooper. If bitmap is ColorType.kAlpha_8_ColorType, apply Shader. If paint contains MaskFilter, generate mask from bitmap bounds.

If generated mask extends beyond bitmap bounds, replicate bitmap edge colors, just as Shader made from Shader.MakeBitmapShader() with TileMode.kClamp set replicates the bitmap edge color when it samples outside of its bounds.

Parameters:

• bitmap (skia.Bitmap) – Bitmap containing pixels, dimensions, and format

• left – left side of bitmap

• top – top side of bitmap

• paint – Paint containing BlendMode, ColorFilter, ImageFilter, and so on; or nullptr

Canvas.drawImageRect(*args, **kwargs)

Overloaded function.

   Draws Rect src of Image image, scaled and translated to fill Rect dst.

   Additionally transform draw using clip, Matrix, and optional Paint paint.

   If Paint paint is supplied, apply ColorFilter, alpha, ImageFilter, BlendMode, and DrawLooper. If image is ColorType.kAlpha_8_ColorType, apply Shader. If paint contains MaskFilter, generate mask from image bounds.

   If generated mask extends beyond image bounds, replicate image edge colors, just as Shader made from Image.makeShader() with TileMode.kClamp set replicates the image edge color when it samples outside of its bounds.

   When using a shader or shader mask filter, its coordinate system is based on the current CTM, so will reflect the dst rect geometry and is equivalent to drawRect(dst). The src rect is only used to access the provided image.

   constraint set to kStrict_SrcRectConstraint limits Paint FilterQuality to sample within src; set to kFast_SrcRectConstraint allows sampling outside to improve performance.

Canvas.resetMatrix(self: skia.Canvas) → None

Sets SkMatrix to the identity matrix.

Any prior matrix state is overwritten.

Canvas.restore(self: skia.Canvas) → None

Removes changes to Matrix and clip since Canvas state was last saved.

The state is removed from the stack.

Does nothing if the stack is empty.

Canvas.restoreToCount(self: skia.Canvas, saveCount: int) → None

Restores state to Matrix and clip values when save(), saveLayer(), saveLayerPreserveLCDTextRequests(), or saveLayerAlpha() returned saveCount.

Does nothing if saveCount is greater than state stack count. Restores state to initial values if saveCount is less than or equal to one.

Parameters:

saveCount (int) – depth of state stack to restore

Canvas.rotate(*args, **kwargs)

Overloaded function.

1. rotate(self: skia.Canvas, degrees: float) -> None

   Rotates Matrix by degrees.

   Positive degrees rotates clockwise.

   Mathematically, replaces Matrix with a rotation matrix premultiplied with Matrix.

   This has the effect of rotating the drawing by degrees before transforming the result with Matrix.

   degrees:

   amount to rotate, in degrees

2. rotate(self: skia.Canvas, degrees: float, px: float, py: float) -> None

   Rotates Matrix by degrees about a point at (px, py).

   Positive degrees rotates clockwise.

   Mathematically, constructs a rotation matrix; premultiplies the rotation matrix by a translation matrix; then replaces Matrix with the resulting matrix premultiplied with Matrix.

   This has the effect of rotating the drawing about a given point before transforming the result with Matrix.

   degrees:

   amount to rotate, in degrees

   px:

   x-axis value of the point to rotate about

   py:

   y-axis value of the point to rotate about

Canvas.save(self: skia.Canvas) → int

Saves Matrix and clip.

Calling restore() discards changes to Matrix and clip, restoring the Matrix and clip to their state when save() was called.

Matrix may be changed by translate(), scale(), rotate(), skew(), concat(), setMatrix(), and resetMatrix(). Clip may be changed by clipRect(), clipRRect(), clipPath(), clipRegion().

Saved Canvas state is put on a stack; multiple calls to save() should be balance by an equal number of calls to restore().

Call restoreToCount() with result to restore this and subsequent saves.

Returns:

depth of saved stack

Canvas.saveLayer(*args, **kwargs)

Overloaded function.

1. saveLayer(self: skia.Canvas, bounds: skia.Rect = None, paint: skia.Paint = None) -> int

   Saves Matrix and clip, and allocates a Bitmap for subsequent drawing.

   Calling restore() discards changes to Matrix and clip, and draws the Bitmap.

   Matrix may be changed by translate(), scale(), rotate(), skew(), concat(), setMatrix(), and resetMatrix(). Clip may be changed by clipRect(), clipRRect(), clipPath(), clipRegion().

   Rect bounds suggests but does not define the Bitmap size. To clip drawing to a specific rectangle, use clipRect().

   Optional Paint paint applies alpha, ColorFilter, ImageFilter, and BlendMode when restore() is called.

   Call restoreToCount() with returned value to restore this and subsequent saves.

   bounds:

   hint to limit the size of the layer; may be nullptr

   paint:

   graphics state for layer; may be nullptr

   return:

   depth of saved stack

2. saveLayer(self: skia.Canvas, layerRec: skia.Canvas.SaveLayerRec) -> int

   Saves Matrix and clip, and allocates a Bitmap for subsequent drawing.

   Calling restore() discards changes to Matrix and clip, and blends Bitmap with alpha opacity onto the prior layer.

   Matrix may be changed by translate(), scale(), rotate(), skew(), concat(), setMatrix(), and resetMatrix(). Clip may be changed by clipRect(), clipRRect(), clipPath(), clipRegion().

   SaveLayerRec contains the state used to create the layer.

   Call restoreToCount() with returned value to restore this and subsequent saves.

   layerRec:

   layer state

   return:

   depth of save state stack before this call was made.

Canvas.saveLayerAlpha(self: skia.Canvas, bounds: skia.Rect, alpha: int) → int

Saves Matrix and clip, and allocates a Bitmap for subsequent drawing.

Calling restore() discards changes to Matrix and clip, and blends layer with alpha opacity onto prior layer.

Matrix may be changed by translate(), scale(), rotate(), skew(), concat(), setMatrix(), and resetMatrix(). Clip may be changed by clipRect(), clipRRect(), clipPath(), clipRegion().

Rect bounds suggests but does not define the Bitmap size. To clip drawing to a specific rectangle, use clipRect().

alpha of zero is fully transparent, 255 is fully opaque.

Call restoreToCount() with returned value to restore this and subsequent saves.

Parameters:

• bounds (skia.Rect) – hint to limit the size of the layer; may be nullptr

• alpha (int) – opacity of layer

Returns:

depth of saved stack

Canvas.scale(self: skia.Canvas, sx: float, sy: float) → None

Scales Matrix by sx on the x-axis and sy on the y-axis.

Mathematically, replaces Matrix with a scale matrix premultiplied with Matrix.

This has the effect of scaling the drawing by (sx, sy) before transforming the result with Matrix.

Parameters:

• sx (float) – amount to scale on x-axis

• sy (float) – amount to scale on y-axis

Canvas.setMatrix(*args, **kwargs)

Overloaded function.

1. setMatrix(self: skia.Canvas, matrix: skia.M44) -> None

   Replaces Matrix with matrix.

   Unlike concat(), any prior matrix state is overwritten.

   param skia.Matrix matrix:

   matrix to copy, replacing existing Matrix

2. setMatrix(self: skia.Canvas, matrix: skia.Matrix) -> None

   DEPRECATED – use SkM44 version

   Unlike concat(), any prior matrix state is overwritten.

   param skia.Matrix matrix:

   matrix to copy, replacing existing Matrix

Canvas.skew(self: skia.Canvas, sx: float, sy: float) → None

Skews Matrix by sx on the x-axis and sy on the y-axis.

A positive value of sx skews the drawing right as y-axis values increase; a positive value of sy skews the drawing down as x-axis values increase.

Mathematically, replaces Matrix with a skew matrix premultiplied with Matrix.

This has the effect of skewing the drawing by (sx, sy) before transforming the result with Matrix.

Parameters:

Canvas.writePixels(*args, **kwargs)

Overloaded function.

1. writePixels(self: skia.Canvas, info: skia.ImageInfo, pixels: Buffer, rowBytes: int = 0, x: int = 0, y: int = 0) -> bool

   Copies Rect from pixels to Canvas.

   Matrix and clip are ignored. Source Rect corners are (0, 0) and (info.width(), info.height()). Destination Rect corners are (x, y) and (imageInfo().width(), imageInfo().height()).

   Copies each readable pixel intersecting both rectangles, without scaling, converting to imageInfo().colorType() and imageInfo().alphaType() if required.

   Pixels are writable when BaseDevice is raster, or backed by a GPU. Pixels are not writable when Canvas is returned by Document.beginPage(), returned by PictureRecorder.beginRecording(), or Canvas is the base of a utility class like DebugCanvas.

   Pixel values are converted only if ColorType and AlphaType do not match. Only pixels within both source and destination rectangles are copied. Canvas pixels outside Rect intersection are unchanged.

   Pass negative values for x or y to offset pixels to the left or above Canvas pixels.

   Does not copy, and returns false if:

   • Source and destination rectangles do not intersect.

   • pixels could not be converted to Canvas
