50 ClutterPaintNode

Paint objects

50.1 Overview

<clutter-paint-node> 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 <clutter-actor> can submit multiple <clutter-paint-node>s to the render graph.
