    <title>Description</title>

    <para> <link
linkend="class-gdkwindow"><classname>gtk.gdk.Window</classname></link> is a
rectangular region on the screen. It's a low-level object, used to implement
high-level objects such as <link
linkend="class-gtkwidget"><classname>gtk.Widget</classname></link> and <link
linkend="class-gtkwindow"><classname>gtk.Window</classname></link>. A <link
linkend="class-gtkwindow"><classname>gtk.Window</classname></link> is a
toplevel window, the object a user might think of as a "window" with a
titlebar and so on. A <link
linkend="class-gtkwindow"><classname>gtk.Window</classname></link> may
contain several <link
linkend="class-gdkwindow"><classname>gtk.gdk.Window</classname></link>
objects since most widgets use a <link
linkend="class-gdkwindow"><classname>gtk.gdk.Window</classname></link>.</para>

    <para>A <link
linkend="class-gdkwindow"><classname>gtk.gdk.Window</classname></link>
object interacts with the native window system for input and events. Some
<link linkend="class-gtkwidget"><classname>gtk.Widget</classname></link>
objects do not have an associated <link
linkend="class-gdkwindow"><classname>gtk.gdk.Window</classname></link> and
therefore cannot receive events. To receive events on behalf of these
"windowless" widgets a <link
linkend="class-gtkeventbox"><classname>gtk.EventBox</classname></link> must
be used.</para>

import gtk
import cairo

'''
The expose event handler for the event box.

This function simply draws a transparency onto a widget on the area
for which it receives expose events.  This is intended to give the
event box a "transparent" background.

In order for this to work properly, the widget must have an RGBA
colourmap.  The widget should also be set as app-paintable since it
doesn't make sense for GTK+ to draw a background if we are drawing it
(and because GTK+ might actually replace our transparency with its
default background colour).
'''
def transparent_expose(widget, event):
    cr = widget.window.cairo_create()
    cr.set_operator(cairo.OPERATOR_CLEAR)
    
    # Ugly but we don't have event.region
    region = gtk.gdk.region_rectangle(event.area)
    
    cr.region(region)
    cr.fill()
    
    return False

'''
The expose event handler for the window.

This function performs the actual compositing of the event box onto
the already-existing background of the window at 50% normal opacity.

In this case we do not want app-paintable to be set on the widget
since we want it to draw its own (red) background. Because of this,
however, we must ensure that we use g_signal_register_after so that
this handler is called after the red has been drawn. If it was
called before then GTK would just blindly paint over our work.

Note: if the child window has children, then you need a cairo 1.16
feature to make this work correctly.
'''
def window_expose_event(widget, event):
    
    #get our child (in this case, the event box)
    child = widget.get_child()
    
    #create a cairo context to draw to the window
    cr = widget.window.cairo_create()

    #the source data is the (composited) event box
    cr.set_source_pixmap (child.window,
                          child.allocation.x,
                          child.allocation.y)

    #draw no more than our expose event intersects our child
    region = gtk.gdk.region_rectangle(child.allocation)
    r = gtk.gdk.region_rectangle(event.area)
    region.intersect(r)
    cr.region (region)
    cr.clip()

    #composite, with a 50% opacity
    cr.set_operator(cairo.OPERATOR_OVER)
    cr.paint_with_alpha(0.5)

    return False

# Make the widgets
w = gtk.Window()
b = gtk.Button("A Button")
e = gtk.EventBox()

# Put a red background on the window
red = gtk.gdk.color_parse("red")
w.modify_bg(gtk.STATE_NORMAL, red)

# Set the colourmap for the event box.
# Must be done before the event box is realised.
screen = e.get_screen()
rgba = screen.get_rgba_colormap()
e.set_colormap(rgba)

# Set our event box to have a fully-transparent background
# drawn on it. Currently there is no way to simply tell GTK+
# that "transparency" is the background colour for a widget.
e.set_app_paintable(True)
e.connect("expose-event", transparent_expose)

# Put them inside one another
w.set_border_width(10)
w.add(e)
e.add(b)

# Realise and show everything
w.show_all()

# Set the event box GdkWindow to be composited.
# Obviously must be performed after event box is realised.
e.window.set_composited(True)

# Set up the compositing handler.
# Note that we do _after_ so that the normal (red) background is drawn
# by gtk before our compositing occurs.

</programlisting>
            <para>
                In this example a button is placed inside of an event box inside of a window.
                The event box is set as composited and therefore is no longer automatically
                drawn to the screen.
            </para>
            <para>
                When the contents of the event box change, an expose event is generated on its
                parent window (which, in this case, belongs to the toplevel
                <link linkend="class-gtkwindow"><classname>gtk.Window</classname></link>). The expose
                handler for this widget is responsible for merging the changes back on the screen
                in the way that it wishes.
            </para>
            <para>
                In our case, we merge the contents with a 50% transparency. We also set the background
                colour of the window to red. The effect is that the background shows through the button.

extend beyond the edges of the window. In other cases, a multi-step process

<para>
If you bypass the GDK layer and use windowing system primitives to
draw directly onto a <link linkend="class-gdkwindow"><classname>gtk.gdk.Window</classname></link>, then you need to deal with two
details: there may be an offset between GDK coordinates and windowing
system coordinates, and GDK may have redirected drawing to a off-screen
pixmap as the result of a <link linkend="method-gdkwindow- -begin-paint-region"><function>gtk.gdk.Window.begin_paint_region()</function></link> calls.
This function allows retrieving the information you need to compensate
for these effects.
</para>
<para>
This function exposes details of the GDK implementation, and is thus
likely to change in future releases of GDK.

            Sets a GdkWindow as composited, or unsets it. Composited windows do
            not automatically have their contents drawn to the screen. Drawing is

            the parent of the composited window. It is the responsibility of the
            parent's expose handler to manually merge the off-screen content onto
            the screen in whatever way it sees fit.

      <para>The <function>gtk.gdk.gdk_set_debug_updates</function>() function
sets the update debugging flag to the value of
<parameter>setting</parameter>. If <parameter>setting</parameter> is
<literal>True</literal>, update debugging is enabled. With update debugging
enabled, calls to the <link
linkend="method-gdkwindow--invalidate-rect"><methodname>invalidate_rect</methodname>()</link> 
method clear the invalidated rectangle of the screen to a noticeable color,
and <literal>PyGTK</literal> pauses for a short time before sending exposes
to windows during the <link
linkend="method-gdkwindow--process-updates"><methodname>process_updates</methodname>()</link> 
method. The net effect is that you can see the invalid region for each
window and watch redraws as they occur. This allows you to diagnose
inefficiencies in your application.In essence, because the
<literal>GDK</literal> rendering model prevents all flicker, if you are
redrawing the same region 400 times you may never notice, aside from
noticing a speed problem. Enabling update debugging causes
<literal>PyGTK</literal> to flicker slowly and noticeably, so you can see
exactly what's being redrawn when, in what order.</para>

      <para>The <option>--gtk-debug=updates</option> command line option
passed to <literal>PyGTK</literal> programs enables this debug option at
application startup time. That's usually more useful than calling
<function>gtk.gdk.gdk_set_debug_updates</function>() yourself, though you might
want to use this function to enable updates sometime after application
startup time.</para>
