Bitmaps and Pixmaps

## Bitmaps and Pixmaps Bitmaps and Pixmaps — Offscreen drawables |

## Includes

    #include <gdk/gdk.h>

## Description

Pixmaps are offscreen drawables. They can be drawn upon with the standard drawing primitives, then copied to another drawable (such as a GdkWindow) with `gdk_pixmap_draw()`. The depth of a pixmap is the number of bits per pixels. Bitmaps are simply pixmaps with a depth of 1. (That is, they are monochrome bitmaps - each pixel can be either on or off).

GTK 3 will remove GdkPixmap and GdkBitmap. You should use cairo surfaces instead. However, because a lot of functions still use these types, they are not deprecated.
