    <title>Description</title>

    <para>Cairo is a graphics library that supports vector graphics and
image compositing that can be used with PyGTK. Since 2.8, GTK+ and Pango do
most of their drawing using Cairo. The Cairo drawing model and primitives
are similar to PostScript which uses an imaging model of painting on a two
dimensional surface. There is a Python module that wraps the Cairo API that
is used by PyGTK via subclassing of the cairo.Context class by the <link
linkend="class-pangocairocairocontext"><classname>pangocairo.CairoContext</classname></link>
class. The cairo.Context class provides most of the drawing primitives used
for drawing on Cairo surfaces.</para>

    <para>PyGTK (and GTK+ and GDK) does not wrap the Cairo API, instead
<link
linkend="class-gdkcairocontext"><classname>gtk.gdk.CairoContext</classname></link>
objects can be used to draw on <link
linkend="class-gdkdrawable"><classname>gtk.gdk.Drawable</classname></link>
objects. A <link
linkend="class-gdkcairocontext"><classname>gtk.gdk.CairoContext</classname></link>
is created using the <link
linkend="method-gdkdrawable--cairo-create"><methodname>gtk.gdk.Drawable.cairo_create</methodname>()</link>
method. See the <link
linkend="class-pangocairocairocontext"><classname>pangocairo.CairoContext</classname></link>
and Python cairo module documentation for additional methods.</para>
