Other Classes and Functions

class cairo._PathLike

This type only exists for documentation purposes.

On Unix it is equal to what Python allows as a filesystem path. On Windows with cairo <=1.15.8 only ANSI paths are supported. With cairo >=1.15.10 all paths are supported as long as they don’t contain surrogates.

Many functions taking a path also allow passing in an already open Python file object. This can be used to support all Python filesystem paths independent of the underlying platform or cairo version.

Added in version 1.15.1: Older versions only supported a subset of str paths

class cairo._FileLike

This type only exists for documentation purposes.

This represents a file object opened in binary mode: typing.BinaryIO

class cairo._SomeSurface

This type only exists for documentation purposes.

This represents a Surface subclass.

class cairo._WritableBuffer

This type only exists for documentation purposes.

This represents a writable buffer object, like memoryview,bytearray, array.array, collections.abc.Buffer, or anything implementing the buffer protocol.
