--[[ This module makes use of cairo surfaces For documentation take a look at the C docs: https://www.cairographics.org/ They can be applied to lua by changing the naming conventions and adjusting for the missing namespaces (and classes) for example: cairo_rectangle(cr, 1, 1, 1, 1) in C would be written as cr:rectangle(1, 1, 1, 1) in lua and cairo_fill(cr) in C would be written as cr:fill() in lua --]] local cairo = require("lgi").cairo local gears = require("gears") function create_tiled_wallpaper(str, s, args_table) -- user input args_table = args_table or {} local fg = args_table.fg or "#ff0000" local bg = args_table.bg or "#00ffff" local offset_x = args_table.offset_x local offset_y = args_table.offset_y local font = args_table.font or "Hack" local font_size = tonumber(args_table.font_size) or 16 local zickzack_bool = args_table.zickzack or false local padding = args_table.padding or 100 -- create cairo image wallpaper local img = cairo.ImageSurface(cairo.Format.RGB24, padding, padding) cr = cairo.Context(img) cr:set_source(gears.color(bg)) cr:paint() cr:set_source(gears.color(fg)) cr:set_font_size(font_size) cr:select_font_face(font) if zickzack_bool then cr:set_source(gears.color(fg)) cr:move_to(padding/2 + font_size, padding/2 + font_size) cr:show_text(str) end cr:set_source(gears.color(fg)) cr:move_to(font_size, font_size) cr:show_text(str) -- tile cairo image gears.wallpaper.tiled(img, s, {x=offset_x, y=offset_y}) end return create_tiled_wallpaper
