+/* A cairo_paginated_surface provides a very convenient wrapper that
+ * is well-suited for doing the analysis common to most surfaces that
+ * have paginated output, (that is, things directed at printers, or
+ * for saving content in files such as PostScript or PDF files).
+ *
+ * To use the paginated surface, you'll first need to create your
+ * 'real' surface using _cairo_surface_init and the standard
+ * cairo_surface_backend_t. Then you also call
+ * _cairo_paginated_surface_create which takes its own, much simpler,
+ * cairo_paginated_surface_backend. You are free to return the result
+ * of _cairo_paginated_surface_create from your public
+ * cairo_<foo>_surface_create. The paginated backend will be careful
+ * to not let the user see that they really got a "wrapped"
+ * surface. See test-paginated-surface.c for a fairly minimal example
+ * of a paginated-using surface. That should be a reasonable example
+ * to follow.
+ *
+ * What the paginated surface does is first save all drawing
+ * operations for a page into a meta-surface. Then when the user calls
+ * cairo_show_page, the paginated surface performs the following
+ * sequence of operations (using the backend functions passed to
+ * cairo_paginated_surface_create):
+ *
+ * 1. Calls start_page (if non NULL). At this point, it is appropriate
+ * for the target to emit any page-specific header information into
+ * its output.
+ *
+ * 2. Calls set_paginated_mode with an argument of CAIRO_PAGINATED_MODE_ANALYZE
+ *
+ * 3. Replays the meta-surface to the target surface, (with an
+ * analysis surface inserted between which watches the return value
+ * from each operation). This analysis stage is used to decide which
+ * operations will require fallbacks.
+ *
+ * 4. Calls set_paginated_mode with an argument of CAIRO_PAGINATED_MODE_RENDER
+ *
+ * 5. Replays a subset of the meta-surface operations to the target surface
+ *
+ * 6. Replays the remaining operations to an image surface, sets an
+ * appropriate clip on the target, then paints the resulting image
+ * surface to the target.
+ *
+ * So, the target will see drawing operations during two separate
+ * stages, (ANALYZE and RENDER). During the ANALYZE phase the target
+ * should not actually perform any rendering, (for example, if
+ * performing output to a file, no output should be generated during
+ * this stage). Instead the drawing functions simply need to return
+ * CAIRO_STATUS_SUCCESS or CAIRO_INT_STATUS_UNSUPPORTED to indicate
+ * whether rendering would be supported. And it should do this as
+ * quickly as possible.
+ *
+ * NOTE: The paginated surface layer assumes that the target surface
+ * is "blank" by default at the beginning of each page, without any
+ * need for an explicit erasea operation, (as opposed to an image
+ * surface, for example, which might have uninitialized content
+ * originally). As such, it optimizes away CLEAR operations that
+ * happen at the beginning of each page---the target surface will not
+ * even see these operations.
