Patterns

.. currentmodule:: cairo

Patterns are the paint with which cairo draws. The primary use of patterns is as the source for all cairo drawing operations, although they can also be used as masks, that is, as the brush too.

A cairo Pattern is created by using one of the PatternType constructors listed below, or implicitly through Context.set_source_<type>() methods.
