<span class="type">ClutterActor</span>, so it can be added to a
<span class="type">ClutterContainer</span> (e.g. a <span class="type">ClutterStage</span>
or <span class="type">ClutterGroup</span>), animated, resized etc. in the
usual ways.</p><p>Other useful operations:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem"><p><span class="emphasis"><em>To draw on part of the texture:</em></span>

use <code class="function">clutter_cairo_texture_clear()</code>.</p><p>You may need to do this as the texture reuses the same

Drawing pages from a PDF onto a ClutterCairoContext</h4></div></div></div><p>Other libraries may provide an API for writing onto a
Cairo context; you can make use of these APIs on the exposed
Cairo context of a ClutterCairoTexture. For example, you
can use the poppler-glib API to display pages
from a PopplerDocument inside a Clutter application:</p><div class="informalexample"><pre class="programlisting">#include <poppler/glib/poppler.h>
/* snipped setup code (as above) */
/*
* cast to CLUTTER_CAIRO_TEXTURE, as the functions
* used below require that type
*/
ClutterCairoTexture *cc_texture = CLUTTER_CAIRO_TEXTURE (texture);
clutter_cairo_texture_clear (cc_texture);
gchar *file_uri = "file:///path/to/file.pdf";
guint page_num = 0;
double page_width, page_height;
PopplerDocument *doc;
PopplerPage *page;
GError *error = NULL;
doc = poppler_document_new_from_file (file_uri, NULL, &error);
page = poppler_document_get_page (doc, page_num);
poppler_page_get_size (page, &page_width, &page_height);
cr = clutter_cairo_texture_create (cc_texture);
/* render the page to the context */
poppler_page_render (page, cr);
cairo_destroy (cr);</pre></div><div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>If the page is larger than the Cairo context,
some of it might not be visible. Similarly, if the
<span class="type">ClutterCairoTexture</span> is larger than the stage,
some of that might not be visible. So you
may need to do some work to make the <span class="type">ClutterCairoTexture</span>
fit inside the stage properly (e.g. resize the stage), and/or some work
to make the PDF page sit inside the Cairo context (e.g. scale the PDF
page or put it inside a scrollable actor).</p></div></div></div></div><div class="navfooter"><hr><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="textures.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="textures.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="textures-aspect-ratio.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">Chapter 4.
