First, you could very well draw directly on the Cairo context straight
in the ::draw handler, give then you don't need caching for decent
performances. E.g., just continue drawing stuff in the ::draw handler
after you painted the pixbuf.
But if you want to draw everything on your own surface and then paint
that surface in the ::draw handler, just create a surface with whatever
format you need, gdk_cairo_set_source_pixbuf() should be able to do the
conversion.
The other solution is to use cairo_surface_create_similar(), but this
requires a surface to be similar to -- but there is no much reason for
that other surface to have a format better suitable to your pixbuf. The
Cairo context passed to the ::draw handler is appropriate to draw on the
screen, not particularly to draw your pixbuf.
But you can very well do this:
def prepare_suraface(pix):
# use whatever format you need, e.g. ARGB32 or RGB24
surface = Cairo.Surface(cairo.Format.ARGB32, pix.width, pix.height)
cr = Cairo.Context(surface)
Gdk.cairo_set_source_pixbuf(cr, pix, 0, 0)
cr.pain()
# and continue drawing stuff
cr.move_to(0, 0)
cr.line_to(pix.width, pix.height)
cr.stroke()
return surface
and then your simply paint the created surface in your ::draw handler.
Of course, doing this is only useful if you need caching the drawn
surface, otherwise it'd be faster do directly perform the draws on the
::draw handler.
Or maybe I got you wrong and you'd like to *draw* on your GdkPixbuf?
I'm afraid this just isn't possible directly. If you really want to do
that, you'll probably have to manually do some pixel conversion. You
can create a Cairo surface of the pixbuf's size, draw on that, and then
get the surface's pixels which you'd convert manually to the pixbuf
format, and push those pixels to the pixbuf. But again, why would you
need to draw specifically on a GdkPixbuf?
