<para>
GDK provides the #GdkPoint, #GdkRectangle, #GdkRegion and #GdkSpan data types
for representing pixels and sets of pixels on the screen.
</para>
<para>
#GdkPoint is a simple structure containing an x and y coordinate of a point.
</para>
<para>
#GdkRectangle is a structure holding the position and size of a rectangle.
The intersection of two rectangles can be computed with
gdk_rectangle_intersect(). To find the union of two rectangles use
gdk_rectangle_union().
</para>
<para>
#GdkRegion is an opaque data type holding a set of arbitrary pixels, and is
usually used for clipping graphical operations (see gdk_gc_set_clip_region()).
</para>
<para>
#GdkSpan is a structure holding a spanline. A spanline is a horizontal line that
is one pixel wide. It is mainly used when rasterizing other graphics primitives.
It can be intersected to regions by using gdk_region_spans_intersect_foreach().
</para>

<para>
The method for determining which pixels are included in a region, when
creating a #GdkRegion from a polygon.

included in the region, while areas overlapped an even number of times are not.
@GDK_WINDING_RULE: overlapping areas are always included.
