/**
* SECTION:visuals
* @Short_description: Low-level display hardware information
* @Title: Visuals
*
* A #GdkVisual describes a particular video hardware display format.
* It includes information about the number of bits used for each color,
* the way the bits are translated into an RGB value for display, and
* the way the bits are stored in memory. For example, a piece of display
* hardware might support 24-bit color, 16-bit color, or 8-bit color;
* meaning 24/16/8-bit pixel sizes. For a given pixel size, pixels can
* be in different formats; for example the "red" element of an RGB pixel
* may be in the top 8 bits of the pixel, or may be in the lower 4 bits.
*
* There are several standard visuals. The visual returned by
* gdk_screen_get_system_visual() is the system's default visual.
*
* A number of functions are provided for determining the "best" available
* visual. For the purposes of making this determination, higher bit depths
* are considered better, and for visuals of the same bit depth,
* %GDK_VISUAL_PSEUDO_COLOR is preferred at 8bpp, otherwise, the visual
* types are ranked in the order of(highest to lowest)
* %GDK_VISUAL_DIRECT_COLOR, %GDK_VISUAL_TRUE_COLOR,
* %GDK_VISUAL_PSEUDO_COLOR, %GDK_VISUAL_STATIC_COLOR,
* %GDK_VISUAL_GRAYSCALE, then %GDK_VISUAL_STATIC_GRAY.
