A <varname>cairo_surface_t</varname> is a high level wrapper for varoius surface. So far the surface can be a bitmap or a memory image. It also contains information about the width and height, repeating information (in case it is used as a pattern: <link linkend="cairo_surface_set_repeat">cairo_surface_set_repeat</link>), the quality for rescaling (<link linkend="cairo_surface_set_filter">cairo_surface_set_filter</link>), and transformations. Surfaces support reference counting via <link linkend="cairo_surface_reference">cairo_surface_reference</link> and <link linkend="cairo_surface_destroy">cairo_surface_destroy</link>.
