Description [src]
final class Gtk.GraphicsOffload : Gtk.Widget
implements Gtk.Accessible, Gtk.Buildable, Gtk.ConstraintTarget {
/* No available fields */
}A widget that allows to bypass gsk rendering for its child by passing the content directly to the compositor.
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 GdkDmabufTextureBuilder),
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
gdk_display_get_dmabuf_formats()) -
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.
