[pygtk] Copy a drawable to a cairo surface

[Tobias Ceglarek]

Thank you very much for this hint.

Meanwhile I have found a trick to solve my problem tolerably with
something like:

src_context = gtk.gdk.Drawable.cairo_create()
src_surface = src_context.get_target()
dst_surface = cairo.ImageSurface()
dst_context = cairo.Context(dst_surface)
dst_context.set_source_surface(src_surface);
dst_context.paint();
dst_surface.write_to_png()

Regards,

Tobias
