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 practially 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 suppot 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 sould use a + wl_display.sync request immediatly after binding to ensure that they + recieve 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. + + + +
