CtkOffscreenWindow is strictly intended to be used for obtaining snapshots of widgets that are not part of a normal widget hierarchy. Since CtkOffscreenWindow is a toplevel widget you cannot obtain snapshots of a full window with it since you cannot pack a toplevel widget in another toplevel.
The idea is to take a widget and manually set the state of it, add it to a CtkOffscreenWindow and then retrieve the snapshot as a cairo_surface_t or GdkPixbuf.
CtkOffscreenWindow derives from CtkWindow only as an implementation detail. Applications should not use any API specific to CtkWindow to operate on this object. It should be treated as a CtkBin that has no parent widget.
When contained offscreen widgets are redrawn, CtkOffscreenWindow will emit a “damage-event” signal.
CtkWidget *
ctk_offscreen_window_new (void);
Creates a toplevel container widget that is used to retrieve snapshots of widgets without showing them on the screen.
Since: 2.20
cairo_surface_t *
ctk_offscreen_window_get_surface (CtkOffscreenWindow *offscreen);
Retrieves a snapshot of the contained widget in the form of a cairo_surface_t. If you need to keep this around over window resizes then you should add a reference to it.
Since: 2.20
GdkPixbuf *
ctk_offscreen_window_get_pixbuf (CtkOffscreenWindow *offscreen);
Retrieves a snapshot of the contained widget in the form of a GdkPixbuf. This is a new pixbuf with a reference count of 1, and the application should unreference it once it is no longer needed.
Since: 2.20
