- <description summary="sub-surface compositing">
- The global interface exposing sub-surface compositing capabilities.
- A wl_surface, that has sub-surfaces associated, is called the
- parent surface. Sub-surfaces can be arbitrarily nested and create
- a tree of sub-surfaces.
-
- The root surface in a tree of sub-surfaces is the main
- surface. The main surface cannot be a sub-surface, because
- sub-surfaces must always have a parent.
-
- A main surface with its sub-surfaces forms a (compound) window.
- For window management purposes, this set of wl_surface objects is
- to be considered as a single window, and it should also behave as
- such.
-
- The aim of sub-surfaces is to offload some of the compositing work
- within a window from clients to the compositor. A prime example is
- a video player with decorations and video in separate wl_surface
- objects. This should allow the compositor to pass YUV video buffer
- processing to dedicated overlay hardware when possible.

- <description summary="sub-surface interface to a wl_surface">
- An additional interface to a wl_surface object, which has been
- made a sub-surface. A sub-surface has one parent surface. A
- sub-surface's size and position are not limited to that of the parent.
- Particularly, a sub-surface is not automatically clipped to its
- parent's area.
-
- A sub-surface becomes mapped, when a non-NULL wl_buffer is applied
- and the parent surface is mapped. The order of which one happens
- first is irrelevant. A sub-surface is hidden if the parent becomes
- hidden, or if a NULL wl_buffer is applied. These rules apply
- recursively through the tree of surfaces.
-
- The behaviour of wl_surface.commit request on a sub-surface
- depends on the sub-surface's mode. The possible modes are
- synchronized and desynchronized, see methods
- wl_subsurface.set_sync and wl_subsurface.set_desync. Synchronized
- mode caches the wl_surface state to be applied when the parent's
- state gets applied, and desynchronized mode applies the pending
- wl_surface state directly. A sub-surface is initially in the
- synchronized mode.
-
- Sub-surfaces have also other kind of state, which is managed by
- wl_subsurface requests, as opposed to wl_surface requests. This
- state includes the sub-surface position relative to the parent
- surface (wl_subsurface.set_position), and the stacking order of
- the parent and its sub-surfaces (wl_subsurface.place_above and
- .place_below). This state is applied when the parent surface's
- wl_surface state is applied, regardless of the sub-surface's mode.
- As the exception, set_sync and set_desync are effective immediately.
-
- The main surface can be thought to be always in desynchronized mode,
- since it does not have a parent in the sub-surfaces sense.
-
- Even if a sub-surface is in desynchronized mode, it will behave as
- in synchronized mode, if its parent surface behaves as in
- synchronized mode. This rule is applied recursively throughout the
- tree of surfaces. This means, that one can set a sub-surface into
- synchronized mode, and then assume that all its child and grand-child
- sub-surfaces are synchronized, too, without explicitly setting them.
-
- If the wl_surface associated with the wl_subsurface is destroyed, the
- wl_subsurface object becomes inert. Note, that destroying either object
- takes effect immediately. If you need to synchronize the removal
- of a sub-surface to the parent surface update, unmap the sub-surface
- first by attaching a NULL wl_buffer, update parent, and then destroy
- the sub-surface.
-
- If the parent wl_surface object is destroyed, the sub-surface is
- unmapped.

- <description summary="remove sub-surface interface">
- The sub-surface interface is removed from the wl_surface object
- that was turned into a sub-surface with
- wl_subcompositor.get_subsurface request. The wl_surface's association
- to the parent is deleted, and the wl_surface loses its role as
- a sub-surface. The wl_surface is unmapped.

- will cause a protocol error.
-
- The z-order is double-buffered state, and will be applied on the

- <request name="set_sync">
- <description summary="set sub-surface to synchronized mode">
- Change the commit behaviour of the sub-surface to synchronized
- mode, also described as the parent dependant mode.
-
- In synchronized mode, wl_surface.commit on a sub-surface will
- accumulate the committed state in a cache, but the state will
- not be applied and hence will not change the compositor output.
- The cached state is applied to the sub-surface immediately after
- the parent surface's state is applied. This ensures atomic
- updates of the parent and all its synchronized sub-surfaces.
- Applying the cached state will invalidate the cache, so further
- parent surface commits do not (re-)apply old state.
-
- See wl_subsurface for the recursive effect of this mode.

-
- <request name="set_desync">
- <description summary="set sub-surface to desynchronized mode">
- Change the commit behaviour of the sub-surface to desynchronized
- mode, also described as independent or freely running mode.
-
- In desynchronized mode, wl_surface.commit on a sub-surface will
- apply the pending state directly, without caching, as happens
- normally with a wl_surface. Calling wl_surface.commit on the
- parent surface has no effect on the sub-surface's wl_surface
- state. This mode allows a sub-surface to be updated on its own.
-
- If cached state exists when wl_surface.commit is called in
- desynchronized mode, the pending state is added to the cached
- state, and applied as whole. This invalidates the cache.
-
- Note: even if a sub-surface is set to desynchronized, a parent
- sub-surface may override it to behave as synchronized. For details,
- see wl_subsurface.
-
- If a surface's parent surface behaves as desynchronized, then
- the cached state is applied on set_desync.
