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.
