Class GraphicsOffload
- All Implemented Interfaces:
Proxy
,Accessible
,Buildable
,ConstraintTarget
Graphics offload is an optimization to reduce overhead and battery use that is most useful for video content. It only works on some platforms and in certain situations. GTK will automatically fall back to normal rendering if it doesn't.
Graphics offload is most efficient if there are no controls drawn on top of the video content.
You should consider using graphics offload for your main widget if it shows
frequently changing content (such as a video, or a VM display) and you provide
the content in the form of dmabuf textures (see DmabufTextureBuilder
),
in particular if it may be fullscreen.
Numerous factors can prohibit graphics offload:
- Unsupported platforms. Currently, graphics offload only works on Linux with Wayland.
- Clipping, such as rounded corners that cause the video content to not be rectangular
- Unsupported dmabuf formats (see
Display.getDmabufFormats()
)
- Translucent video content (content with an alpha channel, even if it isn't used)
- Transforms that are more complex than translations and scales
- Filters such as opacity, grayscale or similar
To investigate problems related graphics offload, GTK offers debug flags to print out information about graphics offload and dmabuf use:
GDK_DEBUG=offload GDK_DEBUG=dmabuf
The GTK inspector provides a visual debugging tool for graphics offload.

Method Details

getType
-
asParent
Returns this instance as if it were its parent type. This is mostly synonymous to the Javasuper
keyword, but will set the native typeclass function pointers to the parent type. When overriding a native virtual method in Java, "chaining up" withsuper.methodName()
doesn't work, because it invokes the overridden function pointer again. To chain up, callasParent().methodName()
. This will call the native function pointer of this virtual method in the typeclass of the parent type. -
getBlackBackground
public boolean getBlackBackground()Returns whether the widget draws a black background.- Returns:
TRUE
if black background is drawn
-
getChild
-
getEnabled
Returns whether offload is enabled for this GraphicsOffload.- Returns:
- whether offload is enabled
-
setBlackBackground
public void setBlackBackground(boolean value) Sets whether this GtkGraphicsOffload widget will draw a black background.A main use case for this is _letterboxing_ where black bars are visible next to the content if the aspect ratio of the content does not match the dimensions of the monitor.
Using this property for letterboxing instead of CSS allows compositors to show content with maximum efficiency, using direct scanout to avoid extra copies in the compositor.
On Wayland, this is implemented using the single-pixel buffer protocol.
- Parameters:
value
- whether to draw a black background behind the content
-
setChild
Sets the child of this GraphicsOffload.- Parameters:
child
- the child widget
-
setEnabled
Sets whether this GtkGraphicsOffload widget will attempt to offload the content of its child widget.- Parameters:
enabled
- whether to enable offload
-
builder
AGraphicsOffload.Builder
object constructs aGraphicsOffload
with the specified properties. Use the variousset...()
methods to set properties, and finish construction withGraphicsOffload.Builder.build()
