Drawing Primitives
functions for drawing points, lines, arcs, and text.
These functions provide support for drawing points, lines, arcs and text
onto what are called 'drawables'. Drawables, as the name suggests, are things
which support drawing onto them, and are either #GdkWindow or #GdkPixmap
objects.
Many of the drawing operations take a #GdkGC argument, which represents a
graphics context. This #GdkGC contains a number of drawing attributes such
as foreground color, background color and line width, and is used to reduce
the number of arguments needed for each drawing operation. See the
Graphics Contexts section for
more information.
An opaque structure representing an object that can be
drawn onto. This can be a #GdkPixmap, a #GdkBitmap,
or a #GdkWindow.

Draws a point, using the foreground color and other attributes of the #GdkGC.
@drawable: a #GdkDrawable (a #GdkWindow or a #GdkPixmap).
@gc: a #GdkGC.
@x: the x coordinate of the point.
@y: the y coordinate of the point.
Draws a number of points, using the foreground color and other attributes of
the #GdkGC.
@drawable: a #GdkDrawable (a #GdkWindow or a #GdkPixmap).
@gc: a #GdkGC.
@points: an array of #GdkPoint structures.
@npoints: the number of points to be drawn.
Draws a line, using the foreground color and other attributes of the #GdkGC.
@drawable: a #GdkDrawable (a #GdkWindow or a #GdkPixmap).
@gc: a #GdkGC.
@x1: the x coordinate of the start point.
@y1: the y coordinate of the start point.
@x2: the x coordinate of the end point.
@y2: the y coordinate of the end point.
Draws a series of lines connecting the given points.
The way in which joins between lines are draw is determined by the
#GdkCapStyle value in the #GdkGC. This can be set with
gdk_gc_set_line_attributes().
@drawable: a #GdkDrawable (a #GdkWindow or a #GdkPixmap).
@gc: a #GdkGC.
@points: an array of #GdkPoint structures specifying the endpoints of the
lines.
@npoints: the size of the @points array.
Draws a number of unconnected lines.
@drawable: a #GdkDrawable (a #GdkWindow or a #GdkPixmap).
@gc: a #GdkGC.
@segs: an array of #GdkSegment structures specifying the start and end points
of the lines to be drawn,
@nsegs: the number of line segments to draw, i.e. the size of the @segs array.
Specifies the start and end point of a line for use by the gdk_draw_segments()
function.
@x1: the x coordinate of the start point.
@y1: the y coordinate of the start point.
@x2: the x coordinate of the end point.
@y2: the y coordinate of the end point.
Draws a rectangular outline or filled rectangle, using the foreground color
and other attributes of the #GdkGC.
A rectangle drawn filled is 1 pixel smaller in both dimensions than a rectangle
outlined. Calling gdk_draw_rectangle (window, gc, TRUE, 0, 0, 20, 20) results
in a filled rectangle 20 pixels wide and 20 pixels high. Calling
gdk_draw_rectangle (window, gc, FALSE, 0, 0, 20, 20) results in an outlined
rectangle with corners at (0, 0), (0, 20), (20, 20), and (20, 0), which
makes it 21 pixels wide and 21 pixels high.
@drawable: a #GdkDrawable (a #GdkWindow or a #GdkPixmap).
@gc: a #GdkGC.
@filled: %TRUE if the rectangle should be filled.
@x: the x coordinate of the left edge of the rectangle.
@y: the y coordinate of the top edge of the rectangle.
@width: the width of the rectangle.
@height: the height of the rectangle.
Draws an arc or a filled 'pie slice'. The arc is defined by the bounding
rectangle of the entire ellipse, and the start and end angles of the part of
the ellipse to be drawn.
@drawable: a #GdkDrawable (a #GdkWindow or a #GdkPixmap).
@gc: a #GdkGC.
@filled: %TRUE if the arc should be filled, producing a 'pie slice'.
@x: the x coordinate of the left edge of the bounding rectangle.
@y: the y coordinate of the top edge of the bounding rectangle.
@width: the width of the bounding rectangle.
@height: the height of the bounding rectangle.
@angle1: the start angle of the arc, relative to the 3 o'clock position,
counter-clockwise, in 1/64ths of a degree.
@angle2: the end angle of the arc, relative to @angle1, in 1/64ths of a degree.
Draws an outlined or filled polygon.
@drawable: a #GdkDrawable (a #GdkWindow or a #GdkPixmap).
@gc: a #GdkGC.
@filled: %TRUE if the polygon should be filled. The polygon is closed
automatically, connecting the last point to the first point if necessary.
@points: an array of #GdkPoint structures specifying the points making up the
polygon.
@npoints: the number of points.
