Create a Surface from a existing cairo_surface_t*. Surface is a garbage collected class. It will call cairo_surface_destroy when it gets collected by the GC or when dispose() is called.

Method for use in subclasses. Calls cairo_surface_status(nativePointer) and throws an exception if the status isn't CAIRO_STATUS_SUCCESS
Emits the current page for backends that support multiple pages, but doesn't clear it, so that the contents of the current page will be retained for the next page. Use Surface.showPage() if you want to get an empty page after the emission.
This function finishes the surface and drops all references to external resources. For example, for the Xlib backend it means that cairo will no longer access the drawable, which can be freed. After calling Surface.finish() the only valid operations on a surface are getting and setting user, referencing and destroying, and flushing and finishing it.
Do any pending drawing for the surface and also restore any temporary modifications cairo has made to the surface's state. This function must be called before switching from drawing on the surface with cairo to drawing on it directly with native APIs. If the surface doesn't support direct access, then this function does nothing.
This function returns the content type of surface which indicates whether the surface contains color and/or alpha information. See Content.
This function returns the device for a surface. See Device.
This function returns the previous device offset set by Surface.setDeviceOffset().
This function returns the previous fallback resolution set by setFallbackResolution(), or default fallback resolution if never set.
Retrieves the default font rendering options for the surface. This allows display surfaces to report the correct subpixel order for rendering on them, print surfaces to disable hinting of metrics and so forth. The result can then be used with $(new ScaledFont()).
Return mime data previously attached to surface using the specified mime type. If no data has been attached with the given mime type, data is set null.
This function returns the C type of a Surface. See SurfaceType for available types.
Returns whether the surface supports sophisticated showTextGlyphs() operations. That is, whether it actually uses the provided text and cluster data to a showTextGlyphs() call.
Tells cairo that drawing has been done to surface using means other than cairo, and that cairo should reread any cached areas. Note that you must call Surface.flush() before doing such drawing.
Like Surface.markDirty(), but drawing has been done only to the specified rectangle, so that cairo can retain cached contents for other parts of the surface.
Sets an offset that is added to the device coordinates determined by the CTM when drawing to surface. One use case for this function is when we want to create a Surface that redirects drawing for a portion of an onscreen surface to an offscreen surface in a way that is completely invisible to the user of the cairo API. Setting a transformation via Context.translate() isn't sufficient to do this, since functions like Context.deviceToUser() will expose the hidden offset.
Set the horizontal and vertical resolution for image fallbacks.
Attach an image in the format mime_type to surface. To remove the data from a surface, call this function with same mime type and NULL for data.
Emits and clears the current page for backends that support multiple pages. Use Surface.copyPage() if you don't want to clear the page.

Create a new surface that is a rectangle within the target surface. All operations drawn to this surface are then clipped and translated onto the target surface. Nothing drawn via this sub-surface outside of its bounds is drawn onto the target surface, making this a useful method for passing constrained child surfaces to library routines that draw directly onto the parent surface, i.e. with no further backend allocations, double buffering or copies.
The createFromNative method for the Surface classes. See https://github.com/jpf91/cairoD/wiki/Memory-Management#createFromNative for more information.
Create a new surface that is as compatible as possible with an existing surface. For example the new surface will have the same fallback resolution and font options as other. Generally, the new surface will also use the same backend as other, unless that is not possible for some reason. The type of the returned surface may be examined with Surface.getType().

Destructor. Call dispose() if it hasn't been called manually.
Surface is the abstract type representing all different drawing targets that cairo can render to. The actual drawings are performed using a cairo context.
A cairo surface is created by using backend-specific classes, typically of the form BackendSurface.
Most surface types allow accessing the surface without using Cairo functions. If you do this, keep in mind that it is mandatory that you call Surface.flush() before reading from or writing to the surface and that you must use Surface.markDirty() after modifying it.
