Description

Creates a PDF surface of the specified size in points to be written to filename.

Usage

cairoPdfSurfaceCreate(filename, width.in.points, height.in.points)

Arguments

filename

[char] a filename for the PDF output (must be writable)

width.in.points

[numeric] width of the surface, in points (1 point == 1/72.0 inch)

height.in.points

[numeric] height of the surface, in points (1 point == 1/72.0 inch)

Value

• [CairoSurface] a pointer to the newly created surface. The caller owns the surface and should call cairoSurfaceDestroy when done with it.
