## Object Hierarchy

      ClutterPaintNode

## Description

ClutterPaintNode is an element in the render graph.

The render graph contains all the elements that need to be painted by Clutter when submitting a frame to the graphics system.

The render graph is distinct from the scene graph: the scene graph is composed by actors, which can be visible or invisible; the scene graph elements also respond to events. The render graph, instead, is only composed by nodes that will be painted.

Each ClutterActor can submit multiple ClutterPaintNodes to the render graph.

Adds a region described as a path to the `node`.

This function acquires a reference on the passed `path`, so it is safe to call `cogl_object_unref()` when it returns.

This function acquires a reference on `primitive`, so it is safe to call `cogl_object_unref()` when it returns.

`node` : | a ClutterPaintNode
`primitive` : | a Cogl primitive

Since 1.10

### CLUTTER_VALUE_HOLDS_PAINT_NODE()

    #define CLUTTER_VALUE_HOLDS_PAINT_NODE(value)   (G_VALUE_HOLDS (value, CLUTTER_TYPE_PAINT_NODE))

Sets the contents of a GValue initialized with `CLUTTER_TYPE_PAINT_NODE`.

This function increased the reference count of `node`; if you do not wish to increase the reference count, use `clutter_value_take_paint_node()` instead. The reference count will be released by `g_value_unset()`.

`value` : | a GValue initialized with `CLUTTER_TYPE_PAINT_NODE`
`node` : | a ClutterPaintNode, or `NULL`. [type Clutter.PaintNode][allow-none]

Since 1.10

### clutter_value_take_paint_node ()

Sets the contents of a GValue initialized with `CLUTTER_TYPE_PAINT_NODE`.

Unlike `clutter_value_set_paint_node()`, this function will not take a reference on the passed `node`: instead, it will take ownership of the current reference count.

`value` : | a GValue, initialized with `CLUTTER_TYPE_PAINT_NODE`
`node` : | a ClutterPaintNode, or `NULL`. [type Clutter.PaintNode][allow-none]

Since 1.10

### clutter_value_get_paint_node ()

    gpointer            clutter_value_get_paint_node        (const GValue *value);

Retrieves a pointer to the ClutterPaintNode contained inside the passed GValue.

`value` : | a GValue initialized with `CLUTTER_TYPE_PAINT_NODE`
Returns : | a pointer to a ClutterPaintNode, or `NULL`. [transfer none][type Clutter.PaintNode]

Since 1.10

### clutter_value_dup_paint_node ()

    gpointer            clutter_value_dup_paint_node        (const GValue *value);

Retrieves a pointer to the ClutterPaintNode contained inside the passed GValue, and if not `NULL` it will increase the reference count.

`value` : | a GValue initialized with `CLUTTER_TYPE_PAINT_NODE`
Returns : | a pointer to the ClutterPaintNode, with its reference count increased, or `NULL`. [transfer full][type Clutter.PaintNode]

Since 1.10
