the content for the new surface
width of the new surface
height of the new surface
a pointer to the newly allocated surface. The caller owns the surface and should call cairo.surface.Surface.destroy when done with it.
Deprecated: Create a suitable cairo image surface yourself
Create a new Cairo surface that is as compatible as possible with the given surface.
For example the new surface will have the same fallback resolution and font options as surface. Generally, the new surface will also use the same backend as surface, unless that is not possible for some reason. The type of the returned surface may be examined with cairo.surface.Surface.getSurfaceType.
Initially the surface contents are all 0 (transparent if contents have transparency, black otherwise.)
This function always returns a valid pointer, but it will return a pointer to a “nil” surface if other is already in an error state or any other error occurs.
