+/**
+ * SECTION:gtkdrawingarea
+ * @Short_description: A widget for custom user interface elements
+ * @Title: GtkDrawingArea
+ * @See_also: #GtkImage
+ *
+ * The #GtkDrawingArea widget is used for creating custom user interface
+ * elements. It's essentially a blank widget; you can draw on it. After
+ * creating a drawing area, the application may want to connect to:
+ *
+ * <itemizedlist>
+ * <listitem>
+ * <para>
+ * Mouse and button press signals to respond to input from
+ * the user. (Use gtk_widget_add_events() to enable events
+ * you wish to receive.)
+ * </para>
+ * </listitem>
+ * <listitem>
+ * <para>
+ * The #GtkWidget::realize signal to take any necessary actions
+ * when the widget is instantiated on a particular display.
+ * (Create GDK resources in response to this signal.)
+ * </para>
+ * </listitem>
+ * <listitem>
+ * <para>
+ * The #GtkWidget::configure-event signal to take any necessary
+ * actions when the widget changes size.
+ * </para>
+ * </listitem>
+ * <listitem>
+ * <para>
+ * The #GtkWidget::draw signal to handle redrawing the
+ * contents of the widget.
+ * </para>
+ * </listitem>
+ * </itemizedlist>
+ *
+ * The following code portion demonstrates using a drawing
+ * area to display a circle in the normal widget foreground
+ * color.
+ *
+ * Note that GDK automatically clears the exposed area to the
+ * background color before sending the expose event, and that
+ * drawing is implicitly clipped to the exposed area.
+ *
+ * <example>
+ * <title>Simple GtkDrawingArea usage</title>
+ * <programlisting>
+ * gboolean
+ * draw_callback (GtkWidget *widget, cairo_t *cr, gpointer data)
+ * {
+ * guint width, height;
+ * GdkRGBA color;
+ *
+ * width = gtk_widget_get_allocated_width (widget);
+ * height = gtk_widget_get_allocated_height (widget);
+ * cairo_arc (cr,
+ * width / 2.0, height / 2.0,
+ * MIN (width, height) / 2.0,
+ * 0, 2 * G_PI);
+ *
+ * gtk_style_context_get_color (gtk_widget_get_style_context (widget),
+ * 0,
+ * &amp;color);
+ * gdk_cairo_set_source_rgba (cr, &amp;color);
+ *
+ * cairo_fill (cr);
+ *
+ * return FALSE;
+ * }
+ * [...]
+ * GtkWidget &ast;drawing_area = gtk_drawing_area_new (<!-- -->);
+ * gtk_widget_set_size_request (drawing_area, 100, 100);
+ * g_signal_connect (G_OBJECT (drawing_area), "draw",
+ * G_CALLBACK (draw_callback), NULL);
+ * </programlisting>
+ * </example>
+ *
+ * Draw signals are normally delivered when a drawing area first comes
+ * onscreen, or when it's covered by another window and then uncovered.
+ * You can also force an expose event by adding to the "damage region"
+ * of the drawing area's window; gtk_widget_queue_draw_area() and
+ * gdk_window_invalidate_rect() are equally good ways to do this.
+ * You'll then get a draw signal for the invalid region.
+ *
+ * The available routines for drawing are documented on the <link
+ * linkend="gdk3-Cairo-Interaction">GDK Drawing Primitives</link> page
+ * and the cairo documentation.
+ *
+ * To receive mouse events on a drawing area, you will need to enable
+ * them with gtk_widget_add_events(). To receive keyboard events, you
+ * will need to set the #GTK_CAN_FOCUS flag on the drawing area, and
+ * should probably draw some user-visible indication that the drawing
+ * area is focused. Use the GTK_HAS_FOCUS() macro in your expose event
+ * handler to decide whether to draw the focus indicator. See
+ * gtk_paint_focus() for one way to draw focus.
