Displays a single surface per output.
This interface provides a mechanism for a single client to display
simple full-screen surfaces. While there technically may be multiple
clients bound to this interface, only one of those clients should be
shown at a time.
To present a surface, the client uses either the present_surface or
present_surface_for_mode requests. Presenting a surface takes effect
on the next wl_surface.commit. See the individual requests for
details about scaling and mode switches.
The client can have at most one surface per output at any time.
Requesting a surface be presented on an output that already has a
surface replaces the previously presented surface. Presenting a null
surface removes its content and effectively disables the output.
Exactly what happens when an output is "disabled" is
compositor-specific. The same surface may be presented on multiple
outputs simultaneously.
Once a surface is presented on an output, it stays on that output
until either the client removes it or the compositor destroys the
output. This way, the client can update the output's contents by
simply attaching a new buffer.
Release the binding from the wl_fullscreen_shell interface
This destroys the server-side object and frees this binding. If
the client binds to wl_fullscreen_shell multiple times, it may wish
to free some of those bindings.
Various capabilities that can be advertised by the compositor. They
are advertised one-at-a-time when the wl_fullscreen_shell interface is
bound. See the wl_fullscreen_shell.capability event for more details.
ARBITRARY_MODE:
This is a hint to the client that indicates that the compositor is
capable of setting practically any mode on its outputs. If this
capability is provided, wl_fullscreen_shell.present_surface_for_mode
will almost never fail and clients should feel free to set whatever
mode they like. If the compositor does not advertise this, it may
still support some modes that are not advertised through wl_global.mode
but it is less likely.
CURSOR_PLANE:
This is a hint to the client that indicates that the compositor can
handle a cursor surface from the client without actually compositing.
This may be because of a hardware cursor plane or some other mechanism.
If the compositor does not advertise this capability then setting
wl_pointer.cursor may degrade performance or be ignored entirely. If
CURSOR_PLANE is not advertised, it is recommended that the client draw
its own cursor and set wl_pointer.cursor(NULL).
Advertises a single capability of the compositor.
When the wl_fullscreen_shell interface is bound, this event is emitted
once for each capability advertised. Valid capabilities are given by
the wl_fullscreen_shell.capability enum. If clients want to take
advantage of any of these capabilities, they should use a
wl_display.sync request immediately after binding to ensure that they
receive all the capability events.
Hints to indicate to the compositor how to deal with a conflict
between the dimensions of the surface and the dimensions of the
output. The compositor is free to ignore this parameter.
Present a surface on the given output.
If the output is null, the compositor will present the surface on
whatever display (or displays) it thinks best. In particular, this
may replace any or all surfaces currently presented so it should
not be used in combination with placing surfaces on specific
outputs.
The method parameter is a hint to the compositor for how the surface
is to be presented. In particular, it tells the compostior how to
handle a size mismatch between the presented surface and the
output. The compositor is free to ignore this parameter.
The "zoom", "zoom_crop", and "stretch" methods imply a scaling
operation on the surface. This will override any kind of output
scaling, so the buffer_scale property of the surface is effectively
ignored.
Presents a surface on the given output for a particular mode.
If the current size of the output differs from that of the surface,
the compositor will attempt to change the size of the output to
match the surface. The result of the mode-switch operation will be
returned via the provided wl_fullscreen_shell_mode_feedback object.
If the current output mode matches the one requested or if the
compositor successfully switches the mode to match the surface,
then the mode_successful event will be sent and the output will
contain the contents of the given surface. If the compositor
cannot match the output size to the surface size, the mode_failed
will be sent and the output will contain the contents of the
previously presented surface (if any). If another surface is
presented on the given output before either of these has a chance
to happen, the present_cancelled event will be sent.
Due to race conditions and other issues unknown to the client, no
mode-switch operation is guaranteed to succeed. However, if the
mode is one advertised by wl_output.mode or if the compositor
advertises the ARBITRARY_MODES capability, then the client should
expect that the mode-switch operation will usually succeed.
If the size of the presented surface changes, the resulting output
is undefined. The compositor may attempt to change the output mode
to compensate. However, there is no guarantee that a suitable mode
will be found and the client has no way to be notified of success
or failure.
The framerate parameter specifies the desired framerate for the
output in mHz. The compositor is free to ignore this parameter. A
value of 0 indicates that the client has no preference.
If the value of wl_output.scale differs from wl_surface.buffer_scale,
then the compositor may choose a mode that matches either the buffer
size or the surface size. In either case, the surface will fill the
output.
These errors can be emitted in response to wl_fullscreen_shell requests
This event indicates that the attempted mode switch operation was
successful. A surface of the size requested in the mode switch
will fill the output without scaling.
Upon receiving this event, the client should destroy the
wl_fullscreen_shell_mode_feedback object.
This event indicates that the attempted mode switch operation
failed. This may be because the requested output mode is not
possible or it may mean that the compositor does not want to allow it.
Upon receiving this event, the client should destroy the
wl_fullscreen_shell_mode_feedback object.
This event indicates that the attempted mode switch operation was
cancelled. Most likely this is because the client requested a
second mode switch before the first one completed.
Upon receiving this event, the client should destroy the
wl_fullscreen_shell_mode_feedback object.
