Renderer.realize

bool realize(gdk.surface.Surface surface = null)

Creates the resources needed by the renderer to render the scene graph.

Since GTK 4.6, the surface may be NULL, which allows using renderers without having to create a surface. Since GTK 4.14, it is recommended to use [gsk.renderer.Renderer.realizeForDisplay] instead.

Note that it is mandatory to call [gsk.renderer.Renderer.unrealize] before destroying the renderer.

Parameters

surface the [gdk.surface.Surface] renderer will be used on

Returns

Whether the renderer was successfully realized

Throws

[ErrorWrap]
