<!-- ##### SECTION Title ##### -->
Reference Counting
<!-- ##### SECTION Short_Description ##### -->
Functions to perform reference counting on a #GdkPixbuf.
<!-- ##### SECTION Long_Description ##### -->
<para>
#GdkPixbuf structures are reference counted. This means that
an application can share a single pixbuf among many parts of the
code. When a piece of the program needs to keep a pointer to a
pixbuf, it should add a reference to it. When it no longer needs
the pixbuf, it should subtract a reference. The pixbuf will be
destroyed when its reference count drops to zero. Newly-created
#GdkPixbuf structures start with a reference count of one.
