Constructors
------------

.. rst-class:: interim-class

.. class:: CairoNode
   :no-index:


   .. classmethod:: new(bounds: ~gi.repository.Graphene.Rect) -> ~gi.repository.Gsk.CairoNode

      Creates a ``GskRenderNode`` that will render a cairo surface
      into the area given by ``bounds``\.

      You can draw to the cairo surface using :obj:`~gi.repository.Gsk.CairoNode.get_draw_context`\.






      :param bounds: the rectangle to render to








Methods
-------

.. rst-class:: interim-class

.. class:: CairoNode
   :no-index:


   .. method:: get_draw_context() -> ~gi.repository.cairo.Context

      Creates a Cairo context for drawing using the surface associated
      to the render node.

      If no surface exists yet, a surface will be created optimized for
      rendering to ``renderer``\.









   .. method:: get_surface() -> ~gi.repository.cairo.Surface

      Retrieves the Cairo surface used by the render node.
