<para>
Creates a Quartz surface backed by a CGBitmap.  The surface is
created using the Device RGB (or Device Gray, for A8) color space.
All Cairo operations, including those that require software
rendering, will succeed on this surface.

<para>
Creates a Quartz surface that wraps the given CGContext.  The
CGContext is assumed to be in the standard Cairo coordinate space
(that is, with the origin at the upper left and the Y axis
increasing downward).  If the CGContext is in the Quartz coordinate
space (with the origin at the bottom left), then it should be
flipped before this function is called.  The flip can be accomplished
using a translate and a scale; for example:
</para>
<para>
<informalexample><programlisting>
CGContextTranslateCTM (cgContext, 0.0, height);
CGContextScaleCTM (cgContext, 1.0, -1.0);
</programlisting></informalexample>
</para>
<para>
All Cairo operations are implemented in terms of Quartz operations,
as long as Quartz-compatible elements are used (such as Quartz fonts).
