40on the returned wl_callback object. Since requests are
41handled in-order and events are delivered in-order, this can
42be used as a barrier to ensure all previous requests and the
43resulting events have been handled.
44
45The object returned by this request will be destroyed by the
46compositor after the callback is fired and as such the client must not
47attempt to use it after that point.

61It should be noted that the server side resources consumed in
62response to a get_registry request can only be released when the
63client disconnects, not when the client side proxy is destroyed.
64Therefore, clients should invoke get_registry as infrequently as
65possible to avoid wasting memory.

113<interface name="wl_registry" version="1">114<description summary="global registry object">115The singleton global registry object. The server has a number of
116global objects that are available to all clients. These objects
117typically represent an actual object in the server (for example,
118an input device) or they are singleton objects that provide
119extension functionality.
120
121When a client creates a registry object, the registry object
122will emit a global event for each global currently in the
123registry. Globals come and go as a result of device or
124monitor hotplugs, reconfiguration or other events, and the
125registry will send out global and global_remove events to
126keep the client up to date with the changes. To mark the end
127of the initial burst of events, the client can use the
128wl_display.sync request immediately after calling
129wl_display.get_registry.
130
131A client can bind to a global object by using the bind
132request. This creates a client-side handle that lets the object
133emit events to the client and lets the client invoke requests on
134the object.

163This event notifies the client that the global identified

165the global using the bind request, the client should now
166destroy that object.
167
168The object remains valid and requests to the object will be

859and motion events are sent only to the client that initiated the
860drag and the client is expected to handle the data passing

864The origin surface is the surface where the drag originates and
865the client must have an active implicit grab that matches the

868The icon surface is an optional (can be NULL) surface that
869provides an icon to be moved around with the cursor. Initially,
870the top-left corner of the icon surface is placed at the cursor
871hotspot, but subsequent wl_surface.attach request can move the

873wl_surface.commit as usual. The icon surface is given the role of
874a drag-and-drop icon. If the icon surface already has another role,
875it raises a protocol error.

1041- Pressing Control selects "copy", if enabled in the mask.

1205The client may specify a method to resolve a size conflict

1208
1209The framerate parameter is used only when the method is set

1211indicates that the client does not care about framerate. The
1212framerate is specified in mHz, that is framerate of 60000 is 60Hz.
1213
1214A method of "scale" or "driver" implies a scaling operation of
1215the surface, either via a direct scaling operation or a change of
1216the output mode. This will override any kind of output scaling, so
1217that mapping a surface with a buffer size equal to the mode can
1218fill the screen independent of buffer_scale.
1219
1220A method of "fill" means we don't scale up the buffer, however
1221any output scale is applied. This means that you may run into
1222an edge case where the application maps a buffer with the same
1223size of the output mode but buffer_scale 1 (thus making a

1362or more outputs, and shown any number of times at the compositor's
1363discretion. They can present wl_buffers, receive user input, and
1364define a local coordinate system.
1365
1366The size of a surface (and relative positions on it) is described
1367in surface-local coordinates, which may differ from the buffer
1368coordinates of the pixel content, in case a buffer_transform
1369or a buffer_scale is used.
1370
1371A surface without a "role" is fairly useless: a compositor does
1372not know where, when or how to present it. The role is the
1373purpose of a wl_surface. Examples of roles are a cursor for a
1374pointer (as set by wl_pointer.set_cursor), a drag icon
1375(wl_data_device.start_drag), a sub-surface
1376(wl_subcompositor.get_subsurface), and a window as defined by a
1377shell protocol (e.g. wl_shell.get_shell_surface).
1378
1379A surface can have only one role at a time. Initially a
1380wl_surface does not have a role. Once a wl_surface is given a
1381role, it is set permanently for the whole lifetime of the
1382wl_surface object. Giving the current role again is allowed,
1383unless explicitly forbidden by the relevant interface
1384specification.
1385
1386Surface roles are given by requests in other interfaces such as
1387wl_pointer.set_cursor. The request should explicitly mention
1388that this request gives a role to a wl_surface. Often, this
1389request also creates a new protocol object that represents the
1390role and adds additional functionality to wl_surface. When a
1391client wants to destroy a wl_surface, they must destroy this role
1392object before the wl_surface, otherwise a defunct_role_object error is
1393sent.
1394
1395Destroying the role object does not remove the role from the
1396wl_surface, but it may stop the wl_surface from "playing the role".
1397For instance, if a wl_subsurface object is destroyed, the wl_surface
1398it was created for will be unmapped and forget its position and
1399z-order. It is allowed to create a wl_subsurface for the same
1400wl_surface again, but it is not allowed to use the wl_surface as
1401a cursor (cursor is a different role than sub-surface, and role
1402switching is not allowed).

1426
1427The new size of the surface is calculated based on the buffer
1428size transformed by the inverse buffer_transform and the
1429inverse buffer_scale. This means that at commit time the supplied
1430buffer size must be an integer multiple of the buffer_scale. If
1431that's not the case, an invalid_size error is sent.
1432
1433The x and y arguments specify the location of the new pending
1434buffer's upper left corner, relative to the current buffer's upper
1435left corner, in surface-local coordinates. In other words, the
1436x and y, combined with the new surface size define in which
1437directions the surface's size changes. Setting anything other than 0
1438as x and y arguments is discouraged, and should instead be replaced
1439with using the separate wl_surface.offset request.
1440
1441When the bound wl_surface version is 5 or higher, passing any
1442non-zero x or y is a protocol violation, and will result in an
1443'invalid_offset' error being raised. The x and y arguments are ignored
1444and do not change the pending state. To achieve equivalent semantics,
1445use wl_surface.offset.
1446
1447Surface contents are double-buffered state, see wl_surface.commit.
1448
1449The initial surface contents are void; there is no content.
1450wl_surface.attach assigns the given wl_buffer as the pending
1451wl_buffer. wl_surface.commit makes the pending wl_buffer the new
1452surface contents, and the size of the surface becomes the size
1453calculated from the wl_buffer, as described above. After commit,
1454there is no pending buffer until the next attach.
1455
1456Committing a pending wl_buffer allows the compositor to read the
1457pixels in the wl_buffer. The compositor may access the pixels at
1458any time after the wl_surface.commit request. When the compositor
1459will not access the pixels anymore, it will send the
1460wl_buffer.release event. Only after receiving wl_buffer.release,
1461the client may reuse the wl_buffer. A wl_buffer that has been
1462attached and then replaced by another attach instead of committed
1463will not receive a release event, and is not used by the
1464compositor.
1465
1466If a pending wl_buffer has been committed to more than one wl_surface,
1467the delivery of wl_buffer.release events becomes undefined. A well
1468behaved client should not rely on wl_buffer.release events in this
1469case. Alternatively, a client could create multiple wl_buffer objects
1470from the same backing storage or use wp_linux_buffer_release.
1471
1472Destroying the wl_buffer after wl_buffer.release does not change
1473the surface contents. Destroying the wl_buffer before wl_buffer.release
1474is allowed as long as the underlying buffer storage isn't re-used (this
1475can happen e.g. on client process termination). However, if the client
1476destroys the wl_buffer before receiving the wl_buffer.release event and
1477mutates the underlying buffer storage, the surface contents become
1478undefined immediately.
1479
1480If wl_surface.attach is sent with a NULL wl_buffer, the
1481following wl_surface.commit will remove the surface content.

1524
1525When a client is animating on a wl_surface, it can use the 'frame'
1526request to get notified when it is a good time to draw and commit the
1527next frame of animation. If the client commits an update earlier than
1528that, it is likely that some updates will not make it to the display,
1529and the client is wasting resources by drawing too often.
1530
1531The frame request will take effect on the next wl_surface.commit.
1532The notification will only be posted for one frame unless
1533requested again. For a wl_surface, the notifications are posted in
1534the order the frame requests were committed.
1535
1536The server must send the notifications so that a client
1537will not send excessive updates, while still allowing
1538the highest possible update rate for clients that wait for the reply
1539before drawing again. The server should give some time for the client
1540to draw and commit after sending the frame callback events to let it
1541hit the next output refresh.
1542
1543A server should avoid signaling the frame callbacks if the
1544surface is not visible in any way, e.g. the surface is off-screen,
1545or completely obscured by other opaque surfaces.

1762
1763Note: Because buffer transformation changes and damage requests may
1764be interleaved in the protocol stream, it is impossible to determine
1765the actual mapping between surface and buffer damage until

2138A client is expected to accumulate the data in all events within the
2139frame before proceeding.
2140
2141All wl_pointer events before a wl_pointer.frame event belong
2142logically together. For example, in a diagonal scroll motion the
2143compositor will send an optional wl_pointer.axis_source event, two
2144wl_pointer.axis events (horizontal and vertical) and finally a
2145wl_pointer.frame event. The client may use this information to
2146calculate a diagonal vector for scrolling.
2147
2148When multiple wl_pointer.axis events occur within the same frame,
2149the motion vector is the combined motion of all events.
2150When a wl_pointer.axis and a wl_pointer.axis_stop event occur within
2151the same frame, this indicates that axis movement in one axis has
2152stopped but continues in the other axis.
2153When multiple wl_pointer.axis_stop events occur within the same
2154frame, this indicates that these axes stopped in the same instance.
2155
2156A wl_pointer.frame event is sent for every logical event group,
2157even if the group only contains a single wl_pointer event.
2158Specifically, a client may get a sequence: motion, frame, button,
2159frame, axis, frame, axis_stop, frame.
2160
2161The wl_pointer.enter and wl_pointer.leave events are logical events
2162generated by the compositor and not the hardware. These events are
2163also grouped by a wl_pointer.frame. When a pointer moves from one
2164surface to another, a compositor should group the
2165wl_pointer.leave event within the same wl_pointer.frame.
2166However, a client must not rely on wl_pointer.leave and
2167wl_pointer.enter being in the same wl_pointer.frame.
2168Compositor-specific policies may require the wl_pointer.leave and
2169wl_pointer.enter event being split across multiple wl_pointer.frame

2180kinetic scrolling whereas a "wheel" source may be in discrete steps
2181of a number of lines.
2182
2183The "continuous" axis source is a device generating events in a
2184continuous coordinate space, but using something other than a
2185finger. One example for this source is button-based scrolling where
2186the vertical motion of a device is converted to scroll events while
2187a button is held down.
2188
2189The "wheel tilt" axis source indicates that the actual device is a
2190wheel but the scroll event is not caused by a rotation but a

2207The source specifies how this event was generated. If the source is
2208wl_pointer.axis_source.finger, a wl_pointer.axis_stop event will be
2209sent when the user lifts the finger off the device.

2214or may not be sent. Whether a compositor sends an axis_stop event
2215for these sources is hardware-specific and implementation-dependent;
2216clients must not rely on receiving an axis_stop event for these
2217scroll sources and should treat scroll sequences from these scroll
2218sources as unterminated by default.
2219

2334For a wl_pointer.axis event, the wl_pointer.axis_relative_direction
2335event specifies the movement direction of the entity causing the
2336wl_pointer.axis event. For example:
2337- if a user's fingers on a touchpad move down and this
2338causes a wl_pointer.axis vertical_scroll down event, the physical
2339direction is 'identical'
2340- if a user's fingers on a touchpad move down and this causes a

2342scrolling'), the physical direction is 'inverted'.
2343
2344A client may use this information to adjust scroll motion of
2345components. Specifically, enabling natural scrolling causes the
2346content to change direction compared to traditional scrolling.
2347Some widgets like volume control sliders should usually match the

2752
2753The size of a mode is given in physical hardware units of

2926
2927The root surface in a tree of sub-surfaces is the main

2933to be considered as a single window, and it should also behave as

2935
2936The aim of sub-surfaces is to offload some of the compositing work
2937within a window from clients to the compositor. A prime example is

3003The behaviour of a wl_surface.commit request on a sub-surface
3004depends on the sub-surface's mode. The possible modes are
3005synchronized and desynchronized, see methods
3006wl_subsurface.set_sync and wl_subsurface.set_desync. Synchronized
3007mode caches the wl_surface state to be applied when the parent's
3008state gets applied, and desynchronized mode applies the pending
3009wl_surface state directly. A sub-surface is initially in the
3010synchronized mode.
3011
3012Sub-surfaces also have another kind of state, which is managed by
3013wl_subsurface requests, as opposed to wl_surface requests. This
3014state includes the sub-surface position relative to the parent
3015surface (wl_subsurface.set_position), and the stacking order of
3016the parent and its sub-surfaces (wl_subsurface.place_above and
3017.place_below). This state is applied when the parent surface's
3018wl_surface state is applied, regardless of the sub-surface's mode.
3019As the exception, set_sync and set_desync are effective immediately.
3020
3021The main surface can be thought to be always in desynchronized mode,
3022since it does not have a parent in the sub-surfaces sense.
3023
3024Even if a sub-surface is in desynchronized mode, it will behave as
3025in synchronized mode, if its parent surface behaves as in
3026synchronized mode. This rule is applied recursively throughout the
3027tree of surfaces. This means, that one can set a sub-surface into
3028synchronized mode, and then assume that all its child and grand-child
3029sub-surfaces are synchronized, too, without explicitly setting them.
3030
3031Destroying a sub-surface takes effect immediately. If you need to
3032synchronize the removal of a sub-surface to the parent surface update,
3033unmap the sub-surface first by attaching a NULL wl_buffer, update parent,
3034and then destroy the sub-surface.
3035
3036If the parent wl_surface object is destroyed, the sub-surface is
3037unmapped.

3057The sub-surface will be moved so that its origin (top left
3058corner pixel) will be at the location x, y of the parent surface
3059coordinate system. The coordinates are not restricted to the parent
3060surface area. Negative values are allowed.
3061
3062The scheduled coordinates will take effect whenever the state of the
3063parent surface is applied. When this happens depends on whether the
3064parent surface is in synchronized mode or not. See
3065wl_subsurface.set_sync and wl_subsurface.set_desync for details.
3066
3067If more than one set_position request is invoked by the client before
3068the commit of the parent surface, the position of a new request always
3069replaces the scheduled position from any previous request.
3070
3071The initial position is 0, 0.

3084
3085The z-order is double-buffered. Requests are handled in order and

3087copied to the active state the next time the state of the parent
3088surface is applied. When this happens depends on whether the parent

3112
3113In synchronized mode, wl_surface.commit on a sub-surface will
3114accumulate the committed state in a cache, but the state will
3115not be applied and hence will not change the compositor output.
3116The cached state is applied to the sub-surface immediately after
3117the parent surface's state is applied. This ensures atomic
3118updates of the parent and all its synchronized sub-surfaces.
3119Applying the cached state will invalidate the cache, so further
3120parent surface commits do not (re-)apply old state.
3121

3129mode, also described as independent or freely running mode.
3130
3131In desynchronized mode, wl_surface.commit on a sub-surface will
3132apply the pending state directly, without caching, as happens
3133normally with a wl_surface. Calling wl_surface.commit on the
3134parent surface has no effect on the sub-surface's wl_surface
3135state. This mode allows a sub-surface to be updated on its own.
3136
3137If cached state exists when wl_surface.commit is called in
3138desynchronized mode, the pending state is added to the cached
3139state, and applied as a whole. This invalidates the cache.
3140
3141Note: even if a sub-surface is set to desynchronized, a parent
3142sub-surface may override it to behave as synchronized. For details,
3143see wl_subsurface.
3144
3145If a surface's parent surface behaves as desynchronized, then
3146the cached state is applied on set_desync.
