    <title>Description</title>

    <note>
      <para>This widget is available in PyGTK 2.22 and above.</para>
    </note>

    <para><link linkend="class-gtkoffscreenwindow"><classname>gtk.OffscreenWindow</classname></link> is strictly
    intended to be used for obtaining snapshots of widgets that are not part of a normal widget hierarchy.
    It differs from <link linkend="method-gtkwidget--get-snapshot"><methodname>gtk.Widget.get_snapshot</methodname></link>()
    in that the widget you want to get a snapshot of need not be displayed on the user's screen as a part
    of a widget hierarchy. However, since <link linkend="class-gtkoffscreenwindow"><classname>gtk.OffscreenWindow</classname></link>
    is a toplevel widget you cannot obtain snapshots of a full window with it since you cannot pack a
    toplevel widget in another toplevel.</para>

    <para>The idea is to take a widget and manually set the state of it, add it to a
    <link linkend="class-gtkoffscreenwindow"><classname>gtk.OffscreenWindow</classname></link> and then retrieve
    the snapshot as a <link linkend="class-gdkpixmap"><classname>gtk.gdk.Pixmap</classname></link> or
    <link linkend="class-gdkpixbuf"><classname>gtk.gdk.Pixbuf</classname></link>.</para>

    <para><link linkend="class-gtkoffscreenwindow"><classname>gtk.OffscreenWindow</classname></link> derives
    from <link linkend="class-gtkwindow"><classname>gtk.Window</classname></link> only as an implementation
    detail. Applications should not use any API specific to <link linkend="class-gtkwindow"><classname>gtk.Window</classname></link>
    to operate on this object. It should be treated as a <link linkend="class-gtkbin"><classname>gtk.Bin</classname></link>
    that has no parent widget.</para>

    <para>When contained offscreen widgets are redrawn,
    <link linkend="class-gtkoffscreenwindow"><classname>gtk.OffscreenWindow</classname></link> will emit a
    "<link linkend="signal-gtkwidget--damage-event">damage-event</link>" signal.</para>

    <para>Creates a toplevel container widget that is used to retrieve
snapshots of widgets without showing them on the screen.  For
widgets that are on the screen and part of a normal widget
hierarchy, <link linkend="method-gtkwidget--get-snapshot"><methodname>gtk.Widget.get_snapshot</methodname></link> can be used instead.</para>
