Need Help with C-to-Swift (finally)

Gage_Morgan · December 11, 2015, 6:39am

So, if I had this code written in C:
int
main (int argc, char *argv)
{
        cairo_surface_t *surface =
            cairo_image_surface_create (CAIRO_FORMAT_ARGB32, 240, 80);
        cairo_t *cr =
            cairo_create (surface);

        cairo_select_font_face (cr, "serif", CAIRO_FONT_SLANT_NORMAL, CAIRO_FONT_WEIGHT_BOLD);
        cairo_set_font_size (cr, 32.0);
        cairo_set_source_rgb (cr, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0);
        cairo_move_to (cr, 10.0, 50.0);
        cairo_show_text (cr, "Hello, world");

        cairo_destroy (cr);
        cairo_surface_write_to_png (surface, "hello.png");
        cairo_surface_destroy (surface);
        return 0;
}
how would I output to Swift? If I can get one or two examples, I'll be closer to finished with using Cairo in Swift.

Jason_Dusek · December 11, 2015, 6:40am

When you say, output to Swift, do you mean, call it from Swift? Return the
PNG or surface to Swift?

I want to call PNG surfaces from Swift, as well as use cairo_line_to() and cairo_move_to() in Swift. Thing is, I need an example of cairo used in Swift so I can apply it to the rest of cairo.
My goal is to generate an executable that outputs *.png images using swift.

So, it’s a very simple almost one-to-one translation of that C code block to Swift.
You have to make sure to import CCairo at the beginning of the file, and change the variable declarations to use let instead of the C declaration.

This works for me, as is.

import CCairo

let surface = cairo_image_surface_create(CAIRO_FORMAT_ARGB32, 240, 80)
let cr = cairo_create (surface);

cairo_select_font_face(cr, "serif", CAIRO_FONT_SLANT_NORMAL, CAIRO_FONT_WEIGHT_BOLD)
cairo_set_font_size(cr, 32.0)
cairo_set_source_rgb(cr, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0)
cairo_move_to(cr, 10.0, 50.0)
cairo_show_text(cr, "Hello, world")

cairo_destroy(cr)
cairo_surface_write_to_png(surface, "hello.png")
cairo_surface_destroy(surface)

It’s deceptively simple!

Using just the functions exposed by cairo will be a piece of cake. The code will look almost exactly the same and work just as fast/well.

However, bridging the C has some nasty effects to the types of your Swift code. For example, surface is of type COpaquePointer which is really unhelpful.

It’d probably be a great exercise for you and the community to make nice, Swifty wrappers around Cairo to allow people to write beautiful, Cairo-using code.

Like this, except with an actual understanding of libcairo: main.swift · GitHub

Best,
Harlan

I meant the code posted in the Gist link above. I don't know jack squat about qsort. I'm hoping that if I can reverse-engineer code already produced, I can apply it to other parts of Cairo.

I went and looked at it, and even now it looks like I want to take every function I've used in Cairo and translate it to Swift. Swift is such a...simple language compared to everything else. That being said, as a result of the specs, it is also much more verbose in terms of writing the code. Compared to other languages, it is written out instead of shoved onto a few lines.
Is there a way to import modules into other modules? Because it looks like a weekend project that will eventually get posted by myself at http://github.com/Christoffen-Corporation\.

Harlan,
I read on cairographics.org about bindings awhile back. I think they want cairo, not surface, so we would have something like:
let cairo = Surface(format: CAIRO_FORMAT_ARGB32, width: 240, height: 80)cairo.setFontFace("serif", weight: CAIRO_FONT_WEIGHT_BOLD)cairo.setFontSize(32.0)cairo.setSourceRGB(0.0, g: 0.0, b: 1.0)cairo.moveTo(x: 10, y: 50)cairo.showText("Hello, World!")cairo.writeToPNG("hello.png")
Would this work the same as before without "surface" but instead "cairo"?

For getter-setter pairs like `setLineWidth`, you might consider turning them into properties:

cairo.setLineWidth(0.1) // old
cairo.lineWidth = 0.1 // new

Absolutely! That’s just a variable name — it could be called ‘puppies’, though that’s not very readable.

I’ll go ahead and comment it, but I think it’s simplistic enough that it should be readable with a grasp of some Swift concepts. Perhaps it’s a good idea to look through The Swift Programming Language to figure out some of the constructs I used — they’re fairly basic constructs.

If you're using multiple modules, then you'll need to define which parts of your API are intended to be used from outside the module. That means using the 'public' keyword. Swift takes publishing API seriously, so 'public' is never* inferred.

The answer is yes. I even managed to get a couple you didn't list on my own:

let cairo = Cairo(format: CAIRO_FORMAT_ARGB32, width: 421, height: 410)
cairo.scale(10.0, y: 10.0)
cairo.moveTo(29.0, y: 14.7)
cairo.lineTo(37.6, y: 13.0)
cairo.moveTo(37.6, y: 13.0)
cairo.lineTo(30.4, y: 22.2)
cairo.moveTo(30.4, y: 22.2)
cairo.lineTo(29.0, y: 14.7)
cairo.setLineWidth(0.1)
cairo.stroke()
cairo.surfaceWriteToPNG("boobs.png")

Harlan,

I read on cairographics.org <http://cairographics.org/> about bindings awhile back. I think they want cairo, not surface, so we would have something like:

let cairo = Surface(format: CAIRO_FORMAT_ARGB32, width: 240, height: 80)
cairo.setFontFace("serif", weight: CAIRO_FONT_WEIGHT_BOLD)
cairo.setFontSize(32.0)
cairo.setSourceRGB(0.0, g: 0.0, b: 1.0)
cairo.moveTo(x: 10, y: 50)
cairo.showText("Hello, World!")
cairo.writeToPNG("hello.png")

Would this work the same as before without "surface" but instead "cairo”?

Absolutely! That’s just a variable name — it could be called ‘puppies’, though that’s not very readable.

So what I'm trying to do is to put all wrappings in a separate module named Cairo. Then, I want to use those methods outside of the module named Cairo. I renamed the class to Surface and fixed all references, but for some reason it keeps saying something about Surface not present. I need to look into whether a git repo may be needed.

Nope, but you’ll need a way to specify the class inside the module (the fully-qualified type name)

Cairo.Cairo should work fine.

The link failure is for the constructor for your Cairo class.

I'll have to test this out myself. Can't for a few hours at least.

In the mean time try `swift build -v` for some more information.

I've made everything public, and I think the initializer needs to be public or something like that. That said, I have no idea what I need to do for this to work. Deinit doesn't seem to want to be public, so leaving that alone. I need to know why the reference to Surface won't come up.

Here's the bits for the actual Cairo module (wrappings, etc.) and all:
cairo-main.swift · GitHub

And this is the one in the "test" directory where I'm trying to get the methods in the above file to work without complaint outside of the directory:
test-main.swift · GitHub

I'm hoping someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong, because I'm trying to do whatever possible. Also, I did upgrade the Swift components earlier when released.
