cd.CreateCanvas(ctx: number, data: string or userdata) -> (canvas: cdCanvas) [in Lua]</pre>
<p>Creates a CD canvas for a virtual visualization surface (VVS). A VVS may be the canvas of a user-interface window,
the page of a document sent to a printer, an offscreen image, the clipboard, a metafile, and so on. To create the
canvas, it is necessary to specify the driver in which each canvas is implemented. </p>
<p>The driver is set by the <b>driver</b> variable with additional information provided in the <tt>
<b>data</b></tt>
parameter. Even though it is possible to create more than one canvas with the same <tt>
<b>driver/data</b></tt> pair,
this is not recommended, and its behavior is not specified. Each canvas maintains its own features. </p>
<p>In case of failure, a <b>NULL</b> value is returned. The following predefined drivers are available:</p>

</font>[There is no equivalent in Lua]</pre>
<p>Same as <strong><font>cdCreateCanvas</font></strong>, used in the case that the parameter <b>
<font>data</font></b> is a string composed by several parameters. This function can be used with
parameters equivalent to the <b><font>printf</font></b> function from the default C library.</p>
</div><div class="function"><pre class="function"><span class="mainFunction">void <a name="cdKillCanvas">cdKillCanvas(cdCanvas *canvas)</a>; [in C]</span>
cd.KillCanvas(canvas: cdCanvas) [in Lua]</pre>
<p>Destroys a previously created canvas. If this function is not called in
Lua, the garbage collector will call it.</p>

canvas:Activate(canvas: cdCanvas) -> (status: number) [in Lua]</pre>
<p>Activates a canvas for drawing. This is used only for a few drivers. Native
Window and IUP drivers will update the canvas size if the window size has
changed. Double Buffer driver will recreate the image buffer if the window
canvas size has changed. In these cases the function MUST be called, for other
drivers is useless. Returns CD_ERROR or CD_OK.</p>
</div><div class="function"><pre class="function"><span class="mainFunction">void <a name="cdCanvasDeactivate">cdCanvasDeactivate</a>(cdCanvas* canvas); [in C]</span>
canvas:Deactivate(canvas: cdCanvas) [in Lua]</pre>
<p>Called when the application has finished drawing in the canvas. It is
optional, but if used for the Native Window driver in Windows when the handle
can not be retained, the drawing can only be done again after a <strong>
cdCanvasActivate</strong>. On some drivers will simply call
<a href="control.html#cdFlush">Flush</a>.</p>

<p>Activates or deactivates the use of an external context for the next calls of the <font face="Courier"><b>

function.</p>
</div><div class="function"><pre class="function"><span class="mainFunction">void <a name="cdInitContextPlus">cdInitContextPlus</a>(void); [in C]
</span>
cd.InitContextPlus() [in Lua]</pre>
<p>Initializes the context driver to use another context replacing the standard drivers.
This functions is only available when a library containing a "ContextPlus"
context driver is used. See the <a href="../drv/cairo.html">Cairo</a>, <a href="../drv/gdiplus.html">GDI+</a>
and <a href="../drv/xrender.html">XRender</a> base drivers. Those libraries does
not support XOR write mode, but has support for anti-aliasing and alpha for
transparency.</p>
<p>In Lua, when using require"cdluacontextplus" this function will be
automatically called.</p>

('&.html with the following values:</p>
<p><font>CD_CAP_FLUSH<br>
CD_CAP_CLEAR <br>
CD_CAP_PLAY <br>
CD_CAP_YAXIS</font> - The Y axis has the same orientation as the CD axis.<br>
<font>CD_CAP_CLIPAREA <br>
CD_CAP_CLIPPOLY</font> - Usually is not implemented.<br>
<font>CD_CAP_MARK</font> - Marks are implemented directly in the driver (they are usually simulated).<br>
<font>CD_CAP_RECT</font> - Rectangles are implemented directly in the driver (they are usually
simulated).<br>
<font>CD_CAP_VECTORTEXT</font> - Vector text is implemented directly in the driver (it is usually
simulated).<br>
<font>CD_CAP_IMAGERGB <br>
CD_CAP_IMAGERGBA</font> - If this is not implemented, but <font>cdGetImageRGB</font> is, then it is
simulated using <font>cdGetImageRGB</font> and <font>cdPutImageRGB</font>.<br>
<font>CD_CAP_IMAGEMAP <br>
CD_CAP_GETIMAGERGB <br>
CD_CAP_IMAGESRV</font> - Usually is only implemented in contexts of window graphics systems (Native Window and IUP).<br>

canvas:Simulate(mode: number) -> (old_mode: number) [in Lua]</pre>
<p>Activates the simulation of one or more primitives. It is ignored for the canvas
in the ImageRGB context, because in this case everything is already simulated. It also has no effect for primitives that
are usually simulated. It returns the previous simulation, but does not include primitives that are usually simulated.
The simulation can be activated at any moment. For instance, if a line simulation is required only for a situation,
the simulation can be activated for the line to be drawn, and then deactivated.</p>
<p>If simulation is activated the driver transformation matrix is disabled.</p>
<p>See in the Simulation sub-driver the information on how each simulation is performed.</p>
<p>To activate a given simulation, perform a binary OR ('|.html using one or more of the following values (in Lua, the
values must be added '+.html:</p>
<p><font>CD_SIM_NONE</font> - Deactivates all kinds of simulation.<br>
<font>CD_SIM_LINE <br>
CD_SIM_RECT <br>
CD_SIM_BOX <br>
CD_SIM_ARC <br>
CD_SIM_SECTOR <br>
CD_SIM_CHORD <br>
CD_SIM_POLYLINE <br>
CD_SIM_POLYGON <br>
CD_SIM_TEXT <br>
