Renderer.realize

Creates the resources needed by the renderer to render the scene graph.

Since GTK 4.6, the surface may be NULL, which allows using renderers without having to create a surface. Since GTK 4.14, it is recommended to use gsk.renderer.Renderer.realizeForDisplay instead.

Note that it is mandatory to call gsk.renderer.Renderer.unrealize before destroying the renderer.
