module Graphics.UI.Gtk.Misc.DrawingArea (
-- * Detail
--
-- | The 'DrawingArea' widget is used for creating custom user interface
-- elements. It's essentially a blank widget; you can draw on
-- the 'Drawable' returned by 'drawingAreaGetDrawWindow'.
--
-- After creating a drawing area, the application may want to connect to:
--
-- * Mouse and button press signals to respond to input from the user.
--
-- * The 'realize' signal to take any necessary actions when the widget is
-- instantiated on a particular display. (Create GDK resources in response to
-- this signal.)
--
-- * The 'configureEvent' signal to take any necessary actions when the
-- widget changes size.
--
-- * The 'exposeEvent' signal to handle redrawing the contents of the
-- widget.
--
-- Expose events are normally delivered when a drawing area first comes
-- onscreen, or when it's covered by another window and then uncovered
-- (exposed). You can also force an expose event by adding to the \"damage
-- region\" of the drawing area's window; 'widgetQueueDrawArea' and
-- 'windowInvalidateRect' are equally good ways to do this. You\'ll then get an
-- expose event for the invalid region.
--
-- The available routines for drawing are documented on the GDK Drawing
-- Primitives page.
--
-- To receive mouse events on a drawing area, you will need to enable them
-- with 'widgetAddEvents'. To receive keyboard events, you will need to set the
-- 'widgetCanFocus' attribute on the drawing area, and should probably draw some
-- user-visible indication that the drawing area is focused.
