# Detail

All drawing operations in Gdk take a graphics context (GC) argument. A graphics context encapsulates information about the way things are drawn, such as the foreground color or line width. By using graphics contexts, the number of arguments to each drawing call is greatly reduced, and communication overhead is minimized, since identical arguments do not need to be passed repeatedly.

Most values of a graphics context can be set at creation time by using `gcNewWithValues`. A few of the values in the GC, such as the dash pattern, can only be set by the latter method.

Graphics Contexts are removed in Gtk3, so this module is empty.

data GC

GCClass GC |

class GObjectClass o => GCClass o

Instances

castToGC :: GObjectClass obj => obj -> GC

gTypeGC :: GType

gcNew :: DrawableClass d => d -> IO GC

Create an empty graphics context.

data GCValues

Intermediate data structure for `GC`s.

- If `graphicsExposure` is set then copying portions into a drawable will generate an `"exposure"` event, even if the destination area is not currently visible.

Removed in Gtk3.

data Color

Color

- Specifies a color with three integer values for red, green and blue. All values range from 0 (least intense) to 65535 (highest intensity).

gcNewWithValues :: DrawableClass d => d -> GCValues -> IO GC

Creates a graphics context with specific values.

gcSetValues :: GC -> GCValues -> IO ()

Change some of the values of a graphics context.

gcGetValues :: GC -> IO GCValues

Retrieve the values in a graphics context.

gcSetClipRectangle :: GC -> Rectangle -> IO ()

Set a clipping rectangle.

- All drawing operations are restricted to this rectangle. This rectangle is interpreted relative to the clip origin.

gcSetClipRegion :: GC -> Region -> IO ()

Set a clipping region.

- All drawing operations are restricted to this region. This region is interpreted relative to the clip origin.

gcSetDashes :: GC -> Int -> [(Int, Int)] -> IO ()

Specify the pattern with which lines are drawn.

- Every tuple in the list contains an even and an odd segment. Even segments are drawn normally, whereby the `lineStyle` member of the graphics context defines if odd segements are drawn or not. A `phase` argument greater than 0 will drop `phase` pixels before starting to draw.
