SkCanvas Reference

Canvas

Canvas provides an interface for drawing, and how the drawing is clipped and transformed. Canvas contains a stack of Matrix and Clip values.

Canvas and Paint together provide the state to draw into Surface or Device. Each Canvas draw call transforms the geometry of the object by the concatenation of all Matrix values in the stack. The transformed geometry is clipped by the intersection of all of Clip values in the stack. The Canvas draw calls take Paint parameter for drawing state. Create Paint to supply the drawing state, such as Color, Typeface, Paint Text Size, Paint Stroke Width, Shader and so on.

To draw to a pixel-based destination, create Raster Surface or GPU Surface. Request Canvas from Surface to obtain the interface to draw. Canvas generated by Raster Surface draws to memory visible to the CPU. Canvas generated by GPU Surface uses Vulkan or OpenGL to draw to the GPU.

Canvas can be constructed to draw to Bitmap without first creating Raster Surface. This approach may be deprecated in the future.

To draw to a document, obtain Canvas from SVG Canvas, Document PDF, or Picture Recorder. Document-based Canvas and other Canvas subclasses reference Device describing the destination.

Example


State Stack

Canvas maintains a stack of state that allows hierarchical drawing, commonly used to implement windows and views. The initial state has an identity matrix and and an infinite clip. Even with a wide-open clip, drawing is constrained by the bounds of the Canvas Surface or Device.

Canvas savable state consists of Clip, Matrix, and Draw Filter. Clip describes the area that may be drawn to. Matrix transforms the geometry. Draw Filter (deprecated on most platforms) modifies the paint before drawing.

save, saveLayer, saveLayerPreserveLCDTextRequests, and saveLayerAlpha save state and return the depth of the stack.

restore and restoreToCount revert state to its value when saved.

Each state on the stack intersects Clip with the previous Clip, and concatenates Matrix with the previous Matrix. The intersected Clip makes the drawing area the same or smaller; the concatenated Matrix may move the origin and potentially scale or rotate the coordinate space.

Canvas does not require balancing the state stack but it is a good idea to do so. Calling save without restore will eventually cause Skia to fail; mismatched save and restore create hard to find bugs.

It is not possible to use state to draw outside of the clip defined by the previous state.

Example

Each Clip uses the current Matrix for its coordinates.

Example

See Also

save saveLayer saveLayerPreserveLCDTextRequests saveLayerAlpha restore restoreToCount

save

Saves Matrix, Clip, and Draw Filter (Draw Filter deprecated on most platforms). Calling restore discards changes to Matrix, Clip, and Draw Filter, restoring the Matrix, Clip, and Draw Filter to their state when save was called.

Matrix may be changed by translate, scale, rotate, skew, concat, setMatrix, and resetMatrix. Clip may be changed by clipRect, clipRRect, clipPath, clipRegion.

Saved Canvas state is put on a stack; multiple calls to save should be balance by an equal number of calls to restore.

Call restoreToCount with result to restore this and subsequent saves.

Return Value

Depth of saved stack.

Example


Layer

Layer allocates a temporary offscreen Bitmap to draw into. When the drawing is complete, the Bitmap is drawn into the Canvas.

Layer is saved in a stack along with other saved state. When state with a Layer is restored, the offscreen Bitmap is drawn into the previous layer.

Layer may be initialized with the contents of the previous layer. When Layer is restored, its Bitmap can be modified by Paint passed to Layer to apply Color Alpha, Color Filter, Image Filter, and Blend Mode.

saveLayer

Saves Matrix, Clip, and Draw Filter (Draw Filter deprecated on most platforms), and allocates an offscreen Bitmap for subsequent drawing. Calling restore discards changes to Matrix, Clip, and Draw Filter, and draws the offscreen bitmap. The Matrix, Clip, and Draw Filter are restored to their state when save was called.

Matrix may be changed by translate, scale, rotate, skew, concat, setMatrix, and resetMatrix. Clip may be changed by clipRect, clipRRect, clipPath, clipRegion.

Rect bounds suggests but does not define the offscreen size. To clip drawing to a specific rectangle, use clipRect.

Optional Paint paint applies Color Alpha, Color Filter, Image Filter, and Blend Mode when restore is called.

Call restoreToCount with result to restore this and subsequent saves.

Parameters

Return Value

Depth of saved stack.

Example


Saves Matrix, Clip, and Draw Filter (Draw Filter deprecated on most platforms), and allocates an offscreen Bitmap for subsequent drawing.

Parameters

Return Value

Depth of saved stack.

Example


saveLayerPreserveLCDTextRequests

Saves Matrix, Clip, and Draw Filter (Draw Filter deprecated on most platforms), and allocates an offscreen bitmap for subsequent drawing. LCD Text is preserved when the offscreen is drawn to the prior layer.

Draw text on an opaque background so that LCD Text blends correctly with the prior layer.

Calling restore discards changes to Matrix, Clip, and Draw Filter, and draws the offscreen bitmap. The Matrix, Clip, and Draw Filter are restored to their state when save was called.

Matrix may be changed by translate, scale, rotate, skew, concat, setMatrix, and resetMatrix. Clip may be changed by clipRect, clipRRect, clipPath, clipRegion. Draw LCD Text on an opaque background to get good results.

bounds suggests but does not define the offscreen size. To clip drawing to a specific rectangle, use clipRect.

paint modifies how the offscreen overlays the prior layer. Color Alpha, Blend Mode, Color Filter, Draw Looper, Image Filter, and Mask Filter, affect the offscreen draw.

Call restoreToCount with result to restore this and subsequent saves.

Parameters

Return Value

Depth of saved stack.

Example


saveLayerAlpha

Saves Matrix, Clip, and Draw Filter (Draw Filter deprecated on most platforms), and allocates an offscreen bitmap for subsequent drawing.

Calling restore discards changes to Matrix, Clip, and Draw Filter, and blends the offscreen bitmap with alpha opacity onto the prior layer. The Matrix, Clip, and Draw Filter are restored to their state when save was called.

Matrix may be changed by translate, scale, rotate, skew, concat, setMatrix, and resetMatrix. Clip may be changed by clipRect, clipRRect, clipPath, clipRegion.

bounds suggests but does not define the offscreen size. To clip drawing to a specific rectangle, use clipRect.

Call restoreToCount with result to restore this and subsequent saves.

Parameters

Return Value

Depth of saved stack.

Example


Enum SkCanvas::SaveLayerFlags

SaveLayerFlags provides options that may be used in any combination in SaveLayerRec, defining how the offscreen allocated by saveLayer operates.

Constants

Example

Struct SkCanvas::SaveLayerRec

SaveLayerRec contains the state used to create the layer offscreen.

const SkRect* fBounds

fBounds is used as a hint to limit the size of the offscreen; may be nullptr. fBounds suggests but does not define the offscreen size. To clip drawing to a specific rectangle, use clipRect.

const SkPaint* fPaint

fPaint modifies how the offscreen overlays the prior layer; may be nullptr. Color Alpha, Blend Mode, Color Filter, Draw Looper, Image Filter, and Mask Filter affect the offscreen draw.

Saves Matrix, Clip, and Draw Filter (Draw Filter deprecated on most platforms), and allocates an offscreen bitmap for subsequent drawing.

Calling restore discards changes to Matrix, Clip, and Draw Filter, and blends the offscreen bitmap with alpha opacity onto the prior layer. The Matrix, Clip, and Draw Filter are restored to their state when save was called.

Matrix may be changed by translate, scale, rotate, skew, concat, setMatrix, and resetMatrix. Clip may be changed by clipRect, clipRRect, clipPath, clipRegion.

SaveLayerRec contains the state used to create the layer offscreen.

Call restoreToCount with result to restore this and subsequent saves.

Parameters

Return Value

depth of save state stack.

Example


restore

Removes changes to Matrix, Clip, and Draw Filter since Canvas state was last saved. The state is removed from the stack.

Does nothing if the stack is empty.

Example


getSaveCount

Returns the number of saved states, each containing: Matrix, Clip, and Draw Filter. Equals the number of save calls less the number of restore calls plus one. The save count of a new canvas is one.

Return Value

depth of save state stack.

Example

Example Output

depth = 2
depth = 1


restoreToCount

Restores state to Matrix, Clip, and Draw Filter values when save, saveLayer, saveLayerPreserveLCDTextRequests, or saveLayerAlpha returned saveCount.

Parameters

Example

Example Output

depth = 1
depth = 3
depth = 1


Matrix

translate

Translate Matrix by dx along the x-axis and dy along the y-axis.

Mathematically, replace Matrix with a translation matrix pre-multiplied with Matrix.

This has the effect of moving the drawing by (dx, dy) before transforming the result with Matrix.

Parameters

Example

The blue stroke follows translate of (50, 50); a black fill follows scale of (2, 1/2.f). After restoring the clip, which resets Matrix, a red frame follows the same scale of (2, 1/2.f); a gray fill follows translate of (50, 50).


scale

Scale Matrix by sx on the x-axis and sy on the y-axis.

Mathematically, replace Matrix with a scale matrix pre-multiplied with Matrix.

This has the effect of scaling the drawing by (sx, sy) before transforming the result with Matrix.

Parameters

Example


rotate

Rotate Matrix by degrees. Positive degrees rotates clockwise.

Mathematically, replace Matrix with a rotation matrix pre-multiplied with Matrix.

This has the effect of rotating the drawing by degrees before transforming the result with Matrix.

Parameters

Example


Rotate Matrix by degrees about a point at (px, py). Positive degrees rotates clockwise.

Mathematically, construct a rotation matrix. Pre-multiply the rotation matrix by a translation matrix, then replace Matrix with the resulting matrix pre-multiplied with Matrix.

This has the effect of rotating the drawing about a given point before transforming the result with Matrix.

Parameters

Example


skew

Skew Matrix by sx on the x-axis and sy on the y-axis. A positive value of sx skews the drawing right as y increases; a positive value of sy skews the drawing down as x increases.

Mathematically, replace Matrix with a skew matrix pre-multiplied with Matrix.

Preconcat the current matrix with the specified skew.

Parameters

Example


concat

Replace Matrix with matrix pre-multiplied with Matrix.

This has the effect of transforming the drawn geometry by matrix, before transforming the result with Matrix.

Parameters

Example


setMatrix

Replace Matrix with matrix. Unlike concat, any prior matrix state is overwritten.

Parameters

Example


resetMatrix

Sets Matrix to the identity matrix. Any prior matrix state is overwritten.

Example


getTotalMatrix

Returns Matrix. This does not account for translation by Device or Surface.

Return Value

Matrix on Canvas.

Example

Example Output

isIdentity true


Clip

Clip is built from a stack of clipping paths. Each Path in the stack can be constructed from one or more Path Contour elements. The Path Contour may be composed of any number of Path Verb segments. Each Path Contour forms a closed area; Path Fill Type defines the area enclosed by Path Contour.

Clip stack of Path elements successfully restrict the Path area. Each Path is transformed by Matrix, then intersected with or subtracted from the prior Clip to form the replacement Clip. Use SkClipOp::kDifference to subtract Path from Clip; use SkClipOp::kIntersect to intersect Path with Clip.

A clipping Path may be anti-aliased; if Path, after transformation, is composed of horizontal and vertical lines, clearing Anti-alias allows whole pixels to either be inside or outside the clip. The fastest drawing has a aliased, rectanglar clip.

If clipping Path has Anti-alias set, clip may partially clip a pixel, requiring that drawing blend partially with the destination along the edge. A rotated rectangular anti-aliased clip looks smoother but draws slower.

Clip can combine with Rect and Round Rect primitives; like Path, these are transformed by Matrix before they are combined with Clip.

Clip can combine with Region. Region is assumed to be in Device coordinates and is unaffected by Matrix.

Example

clipRect

Replace Clip with the intersection or difference of Clip and rect, with an aliased or anti-aliased clip edge. rect is transformed by Matrix before it is combined with Clip.

Parameters

Example


Replace Clip with the intersection or difference of Clip and rect. Resulting Clip is aliased; pixels are fully contained by the clip. rect is transformed by Matrix before it is combined with Clip.

Parameters

Example


Replace Clip with the intersection of Clip and rect. Resulting Clip is aliased; pixels are fully contained by the clip. rect is transformed by Matrix before it is combined with Clip.

Parameters

Example


androidFramework_setDeviceClipRestriction

Sets the max clip rectangle, which can be set by clipRect, clipRRect and clipPath and intersect the current clip with the specified rect. The max clip affects only future ops (it is not retroactive). The clip restriction is not recorded in pictures.

Parameters


clipRRect

Replace Clip with the intersection or difference of Clip and rrect, with an aliased or anti-aliased clip edge. rrect is transformed by Matrix before it is combined with Clip.

Parameters

Example


Replace Clip with the intersection or difference of Clip and rrect. Resulting Clip is aliased; pixels are fully contained by the clip. rrect is transformed by Matrix before it is combined with Clip.

Parameters

Example


Replace Clip with the intersection of Clip and rrect, with an aliased or anti-aliased clip edge. rrect is transformed by Matrix before it is combined with Clip.

Parameters

Example


clipPath

Replace Clip with the intersection or difference of Clip and path, with an aliased or anti-aliased clip edge. Path Fill Type determines if path describes the area inside or outside its contours; and if Path Contour overlaps itself or another Path Contour, whether the overlaps form part of the area. path is transformed by Matrix before it is combined with Clip.

Parameters

Example

Bottom figure uses SkPath::kWinding FillType and SkClipOp::kIntersect; area inside clip is intersected with circle.


Replace Clip with the intersection or difference of Clip and path. Resulting Clip is aliased; pixels are fully contained by the clip. Path Fill Type determines if path describes the area inside or outside its contours; and if Path Contour overlaps itself or another Path Contour, whether the overlaps form part of the area. path is transformed by Matrix before it is combined with Clip.

Parameters

Example


Replace Clip with the intersection of Clip and path. Resulting Clip is aliased; pixels are fully contained by the clip. Path Fill Type determines if path describes the area inside or outside its contours; and if Path Contour overlaps itself or another Path Contour, whether the overlaps form part of the area. path is transformed by Matrix before it is combined with Clip.

Parameters

Example


setAllowSimplifyClip

Only used for testing.Set to simplify clip stack using path ops.


clipRegion

Replace Clip with the intersection or difference of Clip and Region deviceRgn. Resulting Clip is aliased; pixels are fully contained by the clip. deviceRgn is unaffected by Matrix.

Return bounds of Clip, transformed by inverse of Matrix. If Clip is empty, return false, and set bounds to SkRect::MakeEmpty, where all Rect sides equal zero.

bounds is outset by one to account for partial pixel coverage if Clip is anti-aliased.

Parameters

Return Value

true if Clip bounds is not empty.

Example

Example Output

local bounds empty = false
local bounds empty = true


getDeviceClipBounds

Return IRect bounds of Clip, unaffected by Matrix. If Clip is empty, return SkRect::MakeEmpty, where all Rect sides equal zero.

Unlike getLocalClipBounds, returned IRect is not outset.

Return Value

bounds of Clip in Device coordinates.

Example Output

left:0  top:0  right:256  bottom:256
left:30  top:130  right:120  bottom:230
left:15  top:65  right:60  bottom:115

Unlike getLocalClipBounds, bounds is not outset.

Parameters

Return Value

true if Clip bounds is not empty.

Example

Example Output

device bounds empty = false
device bounds empty = true


drawColor

Fill Clip with Color color. mode determines how Color ARGB is combined with destination.

Parameters

Example


clear

Fill Clip with Color color using SkBlendMode::kSrc. This has the effect of replacing all pixels contained by Clip with color.

Parameters

Example


discard

Make Canvas contents undefined. Subsequent calls that read Canvas pixels, such as drawing with SkBlendMode, return undefined results. discard does not change Clip or Matrix.

discard may do nothing, depending on the implementation of Surface or Device that created Canvas.

discard allows optimized performance on subsequent draws by removing cached data associated with Surface or Device. It is not necessary to call discard once done with Canvas; any cached data is deleted when owning Surface or Device is deleted.


drawPaint

Fill Clip with Paint paint. drawPaint is affected by Paint components
Rasterizer, Mask Filter, Shader, Color Filter, Image Filter, and Blend Mode; but not by Path Effect.

Parameters

Example


Enum SkCanvas::PointMode

Selects if an array of points are drawn as discrete points, as lines, or as an open polygon.

Constants

Example

drawPoints

Draw pts using Clip, Matrix and Paint paint. count is the number of points; if count is less than one, drawPoints has no effect. mode may be one of: kPoints PointMode, kLines PointMode, or kPolygon PointMode.

If mode is kPoints PointMode, the shape of point drawn depends on paint Paint Stroke Cap. If paint is set to SkPaint::kRound Cap, each point draws a circle of diameter Paint Stroke Width. If paint is set to SkPaint::kSquare Cap or SkPaint::kButt Cap, each point draws a square of width and height Paint Stroke Width.

If mode is kLines PointMode, each pair of points draws a line segment. One line is drawn for every two points; each point is used once. If count is odd, the final point is ignored.

If mode is kPolygon PointMode, each adjacent pair of points draws a line segment. count minus one lines are drawn; the first and last point are used once.

Each line segment respects paint Paint Stroke Cap and Paint Stroke Width. Paint Style is ignored, as if were set to SkPaint::kStroke Style.

drawPoints always draws each element one at a time; drawPoints is not affected by Paint Stroke Join, and unlike drawPath, does not create a mask from all points and lines before drawing.

Parameters

Example

The transparent color makes multiple line draws visible; the path is drawn all at once.


drawPoint

Draw point at (x, y) using Clip, Matrix and Paint paint.

The shape of point drawn depends on paint Paint Stroke Cap. If paint is set to SkPaint::kRound Cap, draw a circle of diameter Paint Stroke Width. If paint is set to SkPaint::kSquare Cap or SkPaint::kButt Cap, draw a square of width and height Paint Stroke Width. Paint Style is ignored, as if were set to SkPaint::kStroke Style.

Parameters

Example


drawLine

Draw line segment from (x0, y0) to (x1, y1) using Clip, Matrix, and Paint paint. In paint: Paint Stroke Width describes the line thickness; Paint Stroke Cap draws the end rounded or square; Paint Style is ignored, as if were set to SkPaint::kStroke Style.

Parameters

Example


drawRect

Draw Rect rect using Clip, Matrix, and Paint paint. In paint: Paint Style determines if rectangle is stroked or filled; if stroked, Paint Stroke Width describes the line thickness, and Paint Stroke Join draws the corners rounded or square.

Parameters

Example

Draw IRect rect using Clip, Matrix, and Paint paint. In paint: Paint Style determines if rectangle is stroked or filled; if stroked, Paint Stroke Width describes the line thickness, and Paint Stroke Join draws the corners rounded or square.

Parameters

Example


drawRegion

Draw Region region using Clip, Matrix, and Paint paint. In paint: Paint Style determines if rectangle is stroked or filled; if stroked, Paint Stroke Width describes the line thickness, and Paint Stroke Join draws the corners rounded or square.

Parameters

Example


drawOval

Draw Oval oval using Clip, Matrix, and Paint. In paint: Paint Style determines if Oval is stroked or filled; if stroked, Paint Stroke Width describes the line thickness.

Parameters

Example


drawRRect

Draw Round Rect rrect using Clip, Matrix, and Paint paint. In paint: Paint Style determines if rrect is stroked or filled; if stroked, Paint Stroke Width describes the line thickness.

rrect may represent a rectangle, circle, oval, uniformly rounded rectangle, or may have any combination of positive non-square radii for the four corners.

Parameters

Example


drawDRRect

Draw Round Rect outer and inner using Clip, Matrix, and Paint paint. outer must contain inner or the drawing is undefined. In paint: Paint Style determines if rrect is stroked or filled; if stroked, Paint Stroke Width describes the line thickness. If stroked and Round Rect corner has zero length radii, Paint Stroke Join can draw corners rounded or square.

GPU-backed platforms take advantage of drawDRRect since both outer and inner are concave and outer contains inner. These platforms may not be able to draw Path built with identical data as fast.

Parameters

Example

Example


drawCircle

Draw Circle at (cx, cy) with radius using Clip, Matrix, and Paint paint. If radius is zero or less, nothing is drawn. In paint: Paint Style determines if Circle is stroked or filled; if stroked, Paint Stroke Width describes the line thickness.

Parameters

Example


drawArc

Draw Arc using Clip, Matrix, and Paint paint. Arc is part of Oval bounded by oval, sweeping from startAngle to startAngle plus sweepAngle. startAngle and sweepAngle are in degrees. startAngle of zero places start point at the right middle edge of oval. A positive sweepAngle places Arc end point clockwise from start point; a negative sweepAngle places Arc end point counterclockwise from start point. sweepAngle may exceed 360 degrees, a full circle. If useCenter is true, draw a wedge that includes lines from oval center to Arc end points. If useCenter is false, draw Arc between end points.

If Rect oval is empty or sweepAngle is zero, nothing is drawn.

Parameters

Example

Example


drawRoundRect

Draw Round Rect bounded by Rect rect, with corner radii (rx, ry) using Clip, Matrix, and Paint paint. In paint: Paint Style determines if Round Rect is stroked or filled; if stroked, Paint Stroke Width describes the line thickness. If rx or ry are less than zero, they are treated as if they are zero. If rx plus ry exceeds rect width or rect height, radii are scaled down to fit. If rx and ry are zero, Round Rect is drawn as Rect and if stroked is affected by Paint Stroke Join.

Parameters

Example


drawPath

Draw Path path using Clip, Matrix, and Paint paint. Path contains an array of Path Contour, each of which may be open or closed.

In paint: Paint Style determines if Round Rect is stroked or filled: if filled, Path Fill Type determines whether Path Contour describes inside or outside of fill; if stroked, Paint Stroke Width describes the line thickness, Paint Stroke Cap describes line ends, and Paint Stroke Join describes how corners are drawn.

Parameters

Example


Struct SkCanvas::Lattice

Lattice divides Bitmap or Image into a rectangular grid. Grid entries on even columns and even rows are fixed; these entries are always drawn at their original size if the destination is large enough. If the destination side is too small to hold the fixed entries, all fixed entries are proportionately scaled down to fit. The grid entries not on even columns and rows are scaled to fit the remaining space, if any.

Enum SkCanvas::Lattice::Flags

Optional setting per rectangular grid entry to make it transparent.

Constants

const int* fXDivs

Array of x-coordinates that divide the bitmap vertically. Array entries must be unique, increasing, greater than or equal to fBounds left edge, and less than fBounds right edge. Set the first element to fBounds left to collapse the left column of fixed grid entries.

For each entry in the array, Rect tex locates sprite in atlas, and RSXform xform transforms it into destination space. xform, text, and colors if present, must contain count entries. Optional colors is applied for each sprite using Blend Mode. Optional cullRect is a conservative bounds of all transformed sprites. If cullrect is outside of Clip, canvas can skip drawing.

Parameters

Example


drawDrawable

Draw Drawable drawable using Clip and Matrix, concatenated with optional matrix.

If Canvas has an asynchronous implementation, as is the case when it is recording into Picture, then drawable will be referenced, so that SkDrawable::draw() can be called when the operation is finalized. To force immediate drawing, call SkDrawable::draw() instead.

Parameters

Example


Draw Drawable drawable using Clip and Matrix, offset by (x, y).

If Canvas has an asynchronous implementation, as is the case when it is recording into Picture, then drawable will be referenced, so that SkDrawable::draw() can be called when the operation is finalized. To force immediate drawing, call SkDrawable::draw() instead.

Parameters

Example


drawAnnotation

Associate Rect on Canvas when an annotation; a key-value pair, where the key is a null-terminated utf8 string, and optional value is stored as Data.

Only some canvas implementations, such as recording to Picture, or drawing to Document PDF, use annotations.

Parameters

Example


Associate Rect on Canvas when an annotation; a key-value pair, where the key is a null-terminated utf8 string, and optional value is stored as Data.

Only some canvas implementations, such as recording to Picture, or drawing to Document PDF, use annotations.

Parameters

Example


getDrawFilter

Legacy call to be deprecated.


setDrawFilter

Legacy call to be deprecated.


isClipEmpty

Returns true if Clip is empty; that is, nothing will draw.

isClipEmpty may do work when called; it should not be called more often than needed. However, once called, subsequent calls perform no work until Clip changes.

Return Value

true if Clip is empty.

Example

Example Output

clip is not empty
clip is empty


isClipRect

Returns true if Clip is Rect and not empty. Returns false if the clip is empty, or if it is not Rect.

Return Value

true if Clip is Rect and not empty.

Example

Example Output

clip is rect
clip is not rect
