<para>
All drawing operations in GDK take a
<firstterm>graphics context</firstterm> (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.
</para>
<para>
Most values of a graphics context can be set at
creation time by using gdk_gc_new_with_values(),
or can be set one-by-one using functions such
as gdk_gc_set_foreground(). A few of the values
in the GC, such as the dash pattern, can only
be set by the latter method.

<para>
Determines how the bit values for the source pixels are combined with
the bit values for destination pixels to produce the final result. The
sixteen values here correspond to the 16 different possible 2x2 truth
tables. Only a couple of these values are usually useful; for colored
images, only %GDK_COPY, %GDK_XOR and %GDK_INVERT are generally
useful. For bitmaps, %GDK_AND and %GDK_OR are also useful.
