# Clutter::Clone(3pm)

An actor that displays a clone of a source actor

## NAME

Clutter::Clone - An actor that displays a clone of a source actor

## SYNOPSIS

```
    my $clone = Clutter::Clone->new($actor);
```

## DESCRIPTION

**Clutter::Clone** is a Clutter::Actor which draws with the paint function of another actor, scaled to fit its own allocation.

Clutter::Clone can be used to efficiently clone any other actor, including containers.

**Note**: This is different from *Clutter::Texture::new\_from\_actor()* which requires support for FBOs in the underlying GL implementation.
