NAME

       tickit_renderbuffer_new - create a new render buffer instance

SYNOPSIS

       #include <tickit.h>

       TickitRenderBuffer *tickit_renderbuffer_new(int lines, int cols);

       Link with -ltickit.

DESCRIPTION

       tickit_renderbuffer_new()  creates  a  new  TickitRenderBuffer instance of the given size.
       Once constructed, the size is fixed. Initially it  has  a  clipping  region  covering  the
       entire  area,  a  zero  translation offset, no applied masks, no stored pen and no virtual
       cursor  position.  It  can  be  reset  back  to  this  state  at  any  time   by   calling
       tickit_renderbuffer_reset(3).

       The reference count of a newly-constructed render buffer instance will be one. This can be
       incremented      or      decremented      using       tickit_renderbuffer_ref(3)       and
       tickit_renderbuffer_unref(3). When its reference count reaches zero it is destroyed.

RETURN VALUE

       If successful, tickit_renderbuffer_new() returns a pointer to the new instance.
