Havoc Pennington f7d593c99d bracket in #ifdef GTK_ENABLE_BROKEN.
2001-01-30  Havoc Pennington  <hp@pobox.com>

	* gtk/gtktreeitem.h, gtk/gtktree.h, gtk/gtktext.h: bracket in
	#ifdef GTK_ENABLE_BROKEN.

	* gtk/gtktreeitem.c, gtk/gtktree.c, gtk/gtktext.c: #define
	GTK_ENABLE_BROKEN just before including the broken headers.

	* gtk/gtktypeutils.c: #define GTK_ENABLE_BROKEN, so we can get the
	deprecated types registered.

	* gtk/testgtk.c, gtk/testselection.c: #define GTK_ENABLE_BROKEN,
	we have to test the broken stuff.

        * docs/Changes-2.0.txt: explain GTK_ENABLE_BROKEN

2001-01-30  Havoc Pennington  <hp@pobox.com>

        Also committed a bunch of automatic changes made by gtk-doc,
	after reviewing for correctness.

	* gtk/tmpl/gtktext.sgml: add warning about deprecation and note
	about what to use instead

	* gtk/tmpl/gtktree.sgml: ditto

	* gtk/Makefile.am (scan): pass --deprecated-guards option to
	gtk-doc; requires new version of gtk-doc from CVS

	* gtk/gtk-docs.sgml: move GtkText to the deprecated section
	instead of the GtkTextView section. Oops.

<!-- ##### USER_FUNCTION GdkPixbufLastUnref ##### -->
<para>
A function of this type can be used to override the default
operation when a pixbuf loses its last reference, i.e. when
gdk_pixbuf_unref() is called on a #GdkPixbuf structure that has a
reference count of 1. This function should determine whether to
finalize the pixbuf by calling gdk_pixbuf_finalize(), or whether
to just resume normal execution. The last unref handler for a
#GdkPixbuf can be set using the
gdk_pixbuf_set_last_unref_handler() function. By default, pixbufs
will be finalized automatically if no last unref handler has been
defined.

its reference count is incremented; if the pixbuf item kept a

this structure will be decremented. Also, the GdkPixbuf's
reference count will automatically be decremented when the

this yourself if you intend to keep the pixbuf structure around.

Xlib library. This library must be initialized near the beginning

The &gdk-pixbuf; library provides several convenience functions to
render pixbufs to GDK drawables. It uses the GdkRGB to render the
image data.
</para>
<para>
At this point there is not a standard alpha channel extension for
the X Window System, so it is not possible to use full opacity
information when painting images to arbitrary drawables. The
&gdk-pixbuf; convenience functions will threshold the opacity
information to create a bi-level clipping mask (black and white),
and use that to draw the image onto a drawable.
</para>
<important>
<para>
Since these functions use GdkRGB for rendering, you must
initialize GdkRGB before using any of them. You can do this by
calling gdk_rgb_init() near the beginning of your program.

<para>
This canvas item displays #GdkPixbuf images. It handles full
affine transformations in both GDK and antialiased modes, and also
supports the <ulink url="http://www.w3.org">W3C</ulink>'s <ulink
url="http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/">SVG</ulink>-like scaling and
translation semantics for absolute pixel values.
</para>
<para>
#GdkPixbuf structures may be shared among different pixbuf canvas
items; the pixbuf item uses #GdkPixbuf's reference counting
functions for this.
</para>
<refsect2>
<title>Custom Scaling and Translation</title>
<para>
In addition to the normal affine transformations supported by
canvas items, the #GnomeCanvasPixbuf item supports independent
object arguments for scaling and translation. This is useful
for explicitly setting a size to which the pixbuf's image will
be scaled, and for specifying translation offsets that take
place in the item's local coordinate system.
</para>
<para>
By default, the pixbuf canvas item will attain the size in units
of the #GdkPixbuf it contains. If a #GnomeCanvasPixbuf is
configured to use a #GdkPixbuf that has a size of 300 by 200
pixels, then the pixbuf item will automatically obtain a size of
300 by 200 units in the item's local coordinate system. If the
item is transformed with a scaling transformation of (0.5, 2.0),
then the final image size will be of 150 by 400 pixels.
</para>
<para>
To set custom width and height values, you must set the <link
linkend="GnomeCanvasPixbuf--width-set">width_set</link> or <link
linkend="GnomeCanvasPixbuf--height-set">height_set</link>
arguments to %TRUE, and then set the <link
linkend="GnomeCanvasPixbuf--width">width</link> or <link
linkend="GnomeCanvasPixbuf--height">height</link> arguments to
the desired values. The former two arguments control whether
the latter two are used when computing the final image's size;
they are both %FALSE by default so that the pixbuf item will
attain a size in units equal to the size in pixels of the
#GdkPixbuf that the item contains.
</para>
<para>
The custom translation offsets are controlled by the <link
linkend="GnomeCanvasPixbuf--x">x</link> and <link
linkend="GnomeCanvasPixbuf--y">y</link> arguments. The logical
upper-left vertex of the image will be translated by the
specified distance, aligned with the item's local coordinate
system.
</para>
</refsect2>
<refsect2>
<title>Absolute Pixel Scaling and Translation</title>
<para>
The <ulink url="http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/">Scalable Vector
Graphics</ulink> specification (SVG) of the <ulink
url="http://www.w3.org">World Wide Web Consortium</ulink> also
allows images to be translated and scaled by absolute pixel
values that are independent of an item's normal affine
transformation.
</para>
<para>
Normally, the pixbuf item's translation and scaling arguments
are interpreted in units, so they will be modified by the item's
affine transformation. The <link
linkend="GnomeCanvasPixbuf--width-in-pixels">width_in_pixels</link>,
<link
linkend="GnomeCanvasPixbuf--height-in-pixels">height_in_pixels</link>,
<link
linkend="GnomeCanvasPixbuf--x-in-pixels">x_in_pixels</link>, and
<link
linkend="GnomeCanvasPixbuf--y-in-pixels">y_in_pixels</link>
object arguments can be used to modify this behavior. If one of
these arguments is %TRUE, then the corresponding scaling or
translation value will not be affected lengthwise by the pixbuf
item's affine transformation.
</para>
<para>
For example, consider a pixbuf item whose size is (300, 200).
If the item is modified with a scaling transformation of (0.5,
2.0) but the <link
linkend="GnomeCanvasPixbuf--width-in-pixels">width_in_pixels</link>
is set to %TRUE, then the item will appear to be (300, 400)
pixels in size. This means that in this case the item's affine
transformation only applies to the height value, while the width
value is kept in absolute pixels.
</para>
<para>
Likewise, consider a pixbuf item whose (<link
linkend="GnomeCanvasPixbuf--x">x</link>, <link
linkend="GnomeCanvasPixbuf--y">y</link>) arguments are set to
(30, 40). If the item is then modified by the same scaling
transformation of (0.5, 2.0) but the <link
linkend="GnomeCanvasPixbuf--y-in-pixels">y_in_pixels</link>
argument is set to %TRUE, then the image's upper-left corner
will appear to be at position (15, 40). In this case, the
affine transformation is applied only to the x offset, while the
y offset is kept in absolute pixels.
</para>
<para>
In short, these arguments control whether a particular dimension
of a pixbuf item is scaled or not in the normal way by the
item's affine transformation.
</para>
</refsect2>
<refsect2>
<title>Resource Management</title>
<para>
When you set the #GdkPixbuf structure that a #GnomeCanvasPixbuf
item will use by setting the <link
linkend="GnomeCanvasPixbuf--pixbuf">pixbuf</link> argument, a
reference count will be added to that #GdkPixbuf structure.
When the pixbuf item no longer needs the #GdkPixbuf structure,
such as when the item is destroyed or when a new pixbuf
structure is passed to it, then the old #GdkPixbuf structure
will be automatically unreferenced.
</para>
<para>
This means that if an application just needs to load a pixbuf
image and set it into a pixbuf canvas item, it can do the
following to &lsquo;forget&rsquo; about the pixbuf structure:
<programlisting>
GdkPixbuf *pixbuf;
GnomeCanvasItem *item;
pixbuf = gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file ("foo.png");
g_assert (pixbuf != NULL);
item = gnome_canvas_item_new (gnome_canvas_root (my_canvas),
gnome_canvas_pixbuf_get_type (),
"pixbuf", pixbuf,
NULL);
gdk_pixbuf_unref (pixbuf);
</programlisting>
</para>
<para>
After this happens, the reference count of the pixbuf structure
will be 1: the gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file() function creates it
with a reference count of 1, then setting the <link
linkend="GnomeCanvasPixbuf--pixbuf">pixbuf</link> argument of
the #GnomeCanvasPixbuf item increases it to 2, and then it is
decremented to 1 by the call to gdk_pixbuf_unref(). When the
canvas item is destroyed, it will automatically unreference the
pixbuf structure again, causing its reference count to drop to
zero and thus be freed.
