## Description

All drawing operations in GDK take a graphics context (GC) argument. A graphics context encapsulates information about the way things are drawn, such as the foreground color or line width. By using graphics contexts, the number of arguments to each drawing call is greatly reduced, and communication overhead is minimized, since identical arguments do not need to be passed repeatedly.

Most values of a graphics context can be set at creation time by using `gdk_gc_new_with_values()`, or can be set one-by-one using functions such as `gdk_gc_set_foreground()`. A few of the values in the GC, such as the dash pattern, can only be set by the latter method.

## Details

### GdkGC

    typedef struct _GdkGC GdkGC;

The GdkGC structure represents a graphics context. It is an opaque structure with no user-visible elements.

### GdkGCValues

    typedef struct {
      GdkColor	    foreground;
      GdkColor	    background;
      GdkFont	   *font;
      GdkFunction	    function;
      GdkFill	    fill;
      GdkPixmap	   *tile;
      GdkPixmap	   *stipple;
      GdkPixmap	   *clip_mask;
      GdkSubwindowMode  subwindow_mode;
      gint		    ts_x_origin;
      gint		    ts_y_origin;
      gint		    clip_x_origin;
      gint		    clip_y_origin;
      gint		    graphics_exposures;
      gint		    line_width;
      GdkLineStyle	    line_style;
      GdkCapStyle	    cap_style;
      GdkJoinStyle	    join_style;
    } GdkGCValues;

The GdkGCValues structure holds a set of values used to create or modify a graphics context.

GdkColor `foreground`; | the foreground color. Note that `gdk_gc_get_values()` only sets the pixel value.
GdkColor `background`; | the background color. Note that `gdk_gc_get_values()` only sets the pixel value.
GdkFont *`font`; | the default font.
GdkFunction `function`; | the bitwise operation used when drawing.
GdkFill `fill`; | the fill style.
GdkPixmap *`tile`; | the tile pixmap.
GdkPixmap *`stipple`; | the stipple bitmap.
GdkPixmap *`clip_mask`; | the clip mask bitmap.
GdkSubwindowMode `subwindow_mode`; | the subwindow mode.
gint `ts_x_origin`; | the x origin of the tile or stipple.
gint `ts_y_origin`; | the y origin of the tile or stipple.
gint `clip_x_origin`; | the x origin of the clip mask.
gint `clip_y_origin`; | the y origin of the clip mask.
gint `graphics_exposures`; | whether graphics exposures are enabled.
gint `line_width`; | the line width.
GdkLineStyle `line_style`; | the way dashed lines are drawn.
GdkCapStyle `cap_style`; | the way the ends of lines are drawn.
GdkJoinStyle `join_style`; | the way joins between lines are drawn.

    } GdkFunction;

Determines how the bit values for the source pixels are combined with the bit values for destination pixels to produce the final result. The sixteen values here correspond to the 16 different possible 2x2 truth tables. Only a couple of these values are usually useful; for colored images, only `GDK_COPY`, `GDK_XOR` and `GDK_INVERT` are generally useful. For bitmaps, `GDK_AND` and `GDK_OR` are also useful.

`GDK_COPY` | `dst = src`
`GDK_INVERT` | `dst = NOT dst`
`GDK_XOR` | `dst = src XOR dst`
`GDK_CLEAR` | `dst = 0`
`GDK_AND` | `dst = dst AND src`
`GDK_AND_REVERSE` | `dst = src AND (NOT dst)`
`GDK_AND_INVERT` | `dst = (NOT src) AND dst`

`GDK_OR_INVERT` | `dst = (NOT src) OR dst`
`GDK_NAND` | `dst = (NOT src) OR (NOT dst)`
`GDK_NOR` | `dst = (NOT src) AND (NOT dst)`
`GDK_SET` | `dst = 1`

    GdkGC*              gdk_gc_ref                          (GdkGC *gc);

### Warning

`gdk_gc_ref` is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.

Deprecated function; use `g_object_ref()` instead.

`gc` : | a GdkGC
Returns : | the gc.

### gdk_gc_unref ()

    void                gdk_gc_unref                        (GdkGC *gc);

### Warning

`gdk_gc_unref` is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code. Use `g_object_unref()` instead.

`gc` : | a GdkGC

### gdk_gc_destroy

    #define gdk_gc_destroy                 gdk_gc_unref

Sets attributes of a graphics context in bulk. For each flag set in `values_mask`, the corresponding field will be read from `values` and set as the new value for `gc`. If you're only setting a few values on `gc`, calling individual "setter" functions is likely more convenient.

`gc` : | a GdkGC
`values` : | struct containing the new values
`values_mask` : | mask indicating which struct fields are to be used

### gdk_gc_get_values ()

    void                gdk_gc_get_values                   (GdkGC *gc,

Retrieves the current values from a graphics context. Note that only the pixel values of the `values->foreground` and `values->background` are filled, use `gdk_colormap_query_color()` to obtain the rgb values if you need them.

Sets the foreground color for a graphics context. Note that this function uses `color->pixel`, use `gdk_gc_set_rgb_fg_color()` to specify the foreground color as red, green, blue components.

`gc` : | a GdkGC.
`color` : | the new foreground color.

### gdk_gc_set_background ()

If the colormap for the GC has not previously been initialized for GdkRGB, then for pseudo-color colormaps (colormaps with a small modifiable number of colors), a colorcube will be allocated in the colormap.

Calling this function for a GC without a colormap is an error.

`gc` : | a GdkGC
`x_offset` : | amount by which to offset the GC in the X direction
`y_offset` : | amount by which to offset the GC in the Y direction
