Can cairo_surface possibly be attach on wl_shell_surface?

Question

I am using cairo_surface (cairo_surface_t) and wl_shell_surface to display an object on a Wayland client's surface. So could you distinguish between these surface types ? They are obligated to exist together, or separate types of surface. Thanks for your help.

Answer 1

This is the answer.

Cairo surface is strong in drawing 2D object (example: text, shape ...) Refer to https://www.cairographics.org/
