Owen Taylor f903bdf1a7 Fix a reference to window_private->destroyed.
Sun Oct  3 18:13:44 1999  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

	* gtk/gtkwidget.c (gtk_reset_shapes_recurse):
	Fix a reference to window_private->destroyed.

	* gtk/gtkplug.c (gtk_plug_realize): Fix up a direct
	(ugly) setting of an internal GdkWindow member to use
	a _slightly_ cleaner macro.

	* gdk/gdkprivate.h: Split GdkWindowPrivate into
	GdkDrawablePrivate and GdkWindowPrivate.
	Add extra macros for accessing GDK_DRAWABLE_ components.

	* *.[ch]: Massive adjustments for the above, use the
	new macros in a lot of places.

General
=======
- gdk_pointer_grab() and gdk_keyboard_grab() are logically member
functions of GdkWindow.
Dir structure for ports
=======================
The directory structure here is:
gdk/
gdk/x11
gdk/win32
...
The gdk/ directory directly contains all public
header files (that are not specific to one
windowing system).
There, in general should be no system dependency
For each set of functionality, there are the following
files:
gdkwindow.h: public header file
gdkwindow.c: common implementation
x11/gdkwindow.i: functionality specific to X11
win32/gdkwindow.i: functionality specific to win32
The gdkwindow.c file looks like:
====
#include "gdkwindow.h"
#ifdef GDK_WINDOWING_X11
#include "x11/gdkwindow.i"
#elif defined(GDK_WINDOW_WIN32)
#include "win32/gdkwindow.i"
fo#endif
[ generic implementation bits ]
====
x11/gdkwindow.i should only assume that gdkwindow.h has been
included and included all other dependencies explicitely.
The x11/ directory will contain:
.i files
.c files specific to X
.h files specific to X
And a Makefile.am that takes care of distributing the
files in the directory, and also for building any
X-specific utilities. (Such as the gxid daemon).
Virtualization
==============
The concept of virtualization is that calls to draw
on a drawable are dispatched through a function table.
This potentially allows for:
Postscript drawables
metafiles
It also provides a nice clean framework for multi-windowing
support - instead of reimplementing a whole bunch of function
calls, one provides an implementaiton for the vtables.
X works in this way internally - per-screen functions are
virtualized inside a screen structure, and drawing functions
are virtualized inside the GC structure.
For the virtualization of drawing, clearly GdkDrawable needs
to be virtualized. Beyond that, one has to decide on
a case-by-case basis whether a particular structure is
drawing-mode independent (like GdkRectangle) or not.
The most important GDK structures that are involved drawing are:
GdkColor
GdkGC
GdkFont
GdkRegion
The whole font aspect of Gdk is going to get heavily
reworked with the introduction of "Pango".
GdkRegion almost certainly needs to be virtualized,
if you, way, want to do postscript drawables.
While doing so, the API of GdkRegion should be
changed so that the region operations take 3 parameters
instead of returning a newly created region.
Drawable operations:
destroy
create_gc
get_values
set_values
set_dashes
copy
GC Operations:
draw_point
draw_line
draw_rectangle
draw_arc
draw_polygon
draw_string
draw_text
draw_text_wc
draw_pixmap
draw_bitmap
draw_image
draw_points
draw_segments
draw_lines
Adding multi-screen, display support.
