+ * drawing context and the scene to be rendered.
+ *
+ * It is necessary to realize a #GskRenderer instance using gsk_renderer_realize()
+ * before calling gsk_renderer_render(), in order to create the appropriate
+ * windowing system resources needed to render the scene.

+ * #GskRenderNode is the basic block in a scene graph to be
+ * rendered using #GskRenderer.
+ *
+ * Each node has a parent, except the top-level node; each node may have
+ * children nodes.
+ *
+ * Each node has an associated drawing surface, which has the size of
+ * the rectangle set using gsk_render_node_set_bounds(). Nodes have an
+ * associated transformation matrix, which is used to position and
+ * transform the node on the scene graph; additionally, they also have
+ * a child transformation matrix, which will be applied to each child.
+ *
+ * Render nodes are meant to be transient; once they have been associated
+ * to a #GskRenderer it's safe to release any reference you have on them.
+ * Once a #GskRenderNode has been rendered, it is marked as immutable, and
+ * cannot be modified.
