Method

CoglPipelinecopy

Declaration [src]

CoglPipeline*
cogl_pipeline_copy (
  CoglPipeline* source
)

Description [src]

Creates a new pipeline with the configuration copied from the source pipeline.

We would strongly advise developers to always aim to use cogl_pipeline_copy() instead of cogl_pipeline_new() whenever there will be any similarity between two pipelines. Copying a pipeline helps Cogl keep track of a pipelines ancestry which we may use to help minimize GPU state changes.

Stability:	Unstable
Available since:	2.0

Return value

Returns:	`CoglPipeline`
	A pointer to the newly allocated `CoglPipeline`.
	The caller of the method takes ownership of the data, and is responsible for freeing it.
