### cairo_xcb_surface_create ()

    cairo_surface_t* cairo_xcb_surface_create   (XCBConnection *c,
                                                 XCBDRAWABLE drawable,
                                                 XCBVISUALTYPE *visual,
                                                 int width,
                                                 int height);

Creates an XCB surface that draws to the given drawable. The way that colors are represented in the drawable is specified by the provided visual.

NOTE: If `drawable` is a window, then the function cairo_xcb_surface_set_size must be called whenever the size of the window changes.

`c` : | an XCB connection
`drawable` : | an XCB drawable
`visual` : | the visual to use for drawing to `drawable`. The depth of the visual must match the depth of the drawable. Currently, only TrueColor visuals are fully supported.
`width` : | the current width of `drawable`.
`height` : | the current height of `drawable`.
Returns : | the newly created surface

### cairo_xcb_surface_create_for_bitmap ()

    cairo_surface_t* cairo_xcb_surface_create_for_bitmap
                                                (XCBConnection *c,
                                                 XCBPIXMAP bitmap,
                                                 int width,
                                                 int height);

Creates an XCB surface that draws to the given bitmap. This will be drawn to as a CAIRO_FORMAT_A1 object.

`c` : | an XCB connection
`bitmap` : | an XCB Pixmap (a depth-1 pixmap)
`width` : | the current width of `bitmap`
`height` : | the current height of `bitmap`
Returns : | the newly created surface

### cairo_xcb_surface_set_size ()

    void        cairo_xcb_surface_set_size      (cairo_surface_t *surface,
                                                 int width,
                                                 int height);

Informs cairo of the new size of the XCB drawable underlying the surface. For a surface created for a window (rather than a pixmap), this function must be called each time the size of the window changes. (For a subwindow, you are normally resizing the window yourself, but for a toplevel window, it is necessary to listen for ConfigureNotify events.)

A pixmap can never change size, so it is never necessary to call this function on a surface created for a pixmap.

`surface` : | a cairo_surface_t for the XCB backend
`width` : | the new width of the surface
`height` : | the new height of the surface
