SkSurface is responsible for managing the pixels that a canvas draws into. The pixels can be allocated either in CPU memory, if a raster surface; or on the GPU, for a GrRenderTarget surface. SkSurface takes care of allocating a SkCanvas that will draw into the surface. Call surface->getCanvas() to use that canvas. The caller should not delete the returned canvas; it is owned by surface.
SkSurface always has non-zero dimensions. If there is a request for a new surface, and either of the requested dimensions are zero, then nullptr will be returned.
Allocates raster SkSurface. SkCanvas returned by SkSurface draws directly into pixels.
SkSurface is returned if all parameters are valid. Valid parameters include: info dimensions are greater than zero; info contains SkColorType and SkAlphaType supported by raster surface; pixels is not nullptr; rowBytes is large enough to contain info width pixels of SkColorType.
Pixel buffer size should be info height times computed rowBytes. Pixels are not initialized. To access pixels after drawing, call flush() or peekPixels().

readPixels writePixels
Copies Rect of pixels to dst.
Source Rect corners are (srcX, srcY) and Surface (width(), height()). Destination Rect corners are (0, 0) and (dst.width(), dst.height()). Copies each readable pixel intersecting both rectangles, without scaling, converting to dst.colorType() and dst.alphaType() if required.
Pixels are readable when Surface is raster, or backed by a GPU.
The destination pixel storage must be allocated by the caller.
Pixel values are converted only if Color_Type and Alpha_Type do not match. Only pixels within both source and destination rectangles are copied. dst contents outside Rect intersection are unchanged.
Pass negative values for srcX or srcY to offset pixels across or down destination.
Does not copy, and returns false if:
true if pixels were copied
peekPixels writePixels
Copies Rect of pixels from Canvas into dstPixels.
Source Rect corners are (srcX, srcY) and Surface (width(), height()). Destination Rect corners are (0, 0) and (dstInfo.width(), dstInfo.height()). Copies each readable pixel intersecting both rectangles, without scaling, converting to dstInfo.colorType() and dstInfo.alphaType() if required.

Copies each readable pixel intersecting both rectangles, without scaling, converting to Surface SkColorType and SkAlphaType if required.
readPixels peekPixels
Copies Rect of pixels from the src Bitmap to the Surface.

SkSurfaceProps
Issues pending SkSurface commands to the GPU-backed API and resolves any SkSurface MSAA.
Skia flushes as needed, so it is not necessary to call this if Skia manages drawing and object lifetime. Call when interleaving Skia calls with native GPU calls.
GrBackendSemaphore
Issues pending SkSurface commands to the GPU-backed API and resolves any SkSurface MSAA. After issuing all commands, signalSemaphores of count numSemaphores semaphores are signaled by the GPU.
For each GrBackendSemaphore in signalSemaphores: if GrBackendSemaphore is initialized, the GPU back-end uses the semaphore as is; otherwise, a new semaphore is created and initializes GrBackendSemaphore.
The caller must delete the semaphores created and returned in signalSemaphores. GrBackendSemaphore can be deleted as soon as this function returns.
If the back-end API is OpenGL only uninitialized backend semaphores are supported.
If the back-end API is Vulkan semaphores may be initialized or uninitialized. If uninitialized, created semaphores are valid only with the VkDevice with which they were created.
If GrSemaphoresSubmitted::kNo is returned, the GPU back-end did not create or add any semaphores to signal on the GPU; the caller should not instruct the GPU to wait on any of the semaphores.
Pending surface commands are flushed regardless of the return result.
one of: GrSemaphoresSubmitted::kYes, GrSemaphoresSubmitted::kNo
wait GrBackendSemaphore
Inserts a list of GPU semaphores that the current GPU-backed API must wait on before executing any more commands on the GPU for this surface. Skia will take ownership of the underlying semaphores and delete them once they have been signaled and waited on. If this call returns false, then the GPU back-end will not wait on any passed in semaphores, and the client will still own the semaphores.
true if GPU is waiting on semaphores
flushAndSignalSemaphores GrBackendSemaphore
Initializes SkSurfaceCharacterization that can be used to perform GPU back-end processing in a separate thread. Typically this is used to divide drawing into multiple tiles. SkDeferredDisplayListRecorder records the drawing commands for each tile.
Return true if SkSurface supports characterization. raster surface returns false.
true if supported
draw() SkSurfaceCharacterization SkDeferredDisplayList
Draws deferred display list created using SkDeferredDisplayListRecorder. Has no effect and returns false if SkSurfaceCharacterization stored in deferredDisplayList is not compatible with SkSurface.
raster surface returns false.
