=======
|
|
|
|
A :type:`weston_output` determines what part of the global compositor
|
|
coordinate space will be composited into an image and when. That image is
|
|
presented on the attached heads (weston_head).
|
|
|
|
An output object is responsible for the framebuffer management, damage tracking,
|
|
display timings, and the repaint state machine. Video mode, output scale and
|
|
output transform are properties of an output.
|
|
|
|
In display hardware, a weston_output represents a CRTC, but only if it has been
|
|
successfully enabled. The CRTC may be switched to another during an output's
|
|
lifetime.
|
|
|
|
The lifetime of a weston_output is controlled by the libweston user.
|
|
|
|
With at least a :type:`weston_head` attached, you can construct a
|
|
:type:`weston_output` object which can be used by the compositor, by enabling
|
|
the output using :func:`weston_output_enable`. The output **must not** be
|
|
already enabled.
|
|
|
|
The reverse operation, :func:`weston_output_disable`, should be used when there's
|
|
a need to reconfigure the output or it will be destroyed.
