-Low-level display hardware information

-A #GdkVisual describes a particular video hardware display format. It includes
-information about the number of bits used for each color, the way the bits are
-translated into an RGB value for display, and the way the bits are stored in
-memory. For example, a piece of display hardware might support 24-bit color,
-16-bit color, or 8-bit color; meaning 24/16/8-bit pixel sizes. For a given
-pixel size, pixels can be in different formats; for example the "red" element
-of an RGB pixel may be in the top 8 bits of the pixel, or may be in the lower
-4 bits.
-
-
-There are several standard visuals. The visual returned
-by gdk_screen_get_system_visual() is the system's default
-visual.
-
-
-A number of functions are provided for determining
-the "best" available visual. For the purposes of
-making this determination, higher bit depths are
-considered better, and for visuals of the same
-bit depth, %GDK_VISUAL_PSEUDO_COLOR is preferred at
-8bpp, otherwise, the visual types are ranked in the
-order of (highest to lowest) %GDK_VISUAL_DIRECT_COLOR,
-%GDK_VISUAL_TRUE_COLOR, %GDK_VISUAL_PSEUDO_COLOR,
-%GDK_VISUAL_STATIC_COLOR, %GDK_VISUAL_GRAYSCALE,
-then %GDK_VISUAL_STATIC_GRAY.

-
-A set of values that describe the manner in which the
-pixel values for a visual are converted into RGB
-values for display.
-
-
-@GDK_VISUAL_STATIC_GRAY: Each pixel value indexes a grayscale value directly.
-@GDK_VISUAL_GRAYSCALE: Each pixel is an index into a color map that maps pixel
- values into grayscale values. The color map can be changed by an application.
-@GDK_VISUAL_STATIC_COLOR: Each pixel value is an index into a predefined,
- unmodifiable color map that maps pixel values into RGB values.
-@GDK_VISUAL_PSEUDO_COLOR: Each pixel is an index into a color map that maps
- pixel values into rgb values. The color map can be changed by an application.
-@GDK_VISUAL_TRUE_COLOR: Each pixel value directly contains red, green,
- and blue components. The red_mask,
- green_mask, and
- blue_mask fields of the #GdkVisual
- structure describe how the components are assembled into a pixel value.
-@GDK_VISUAL_DIRECT_COLOR: Each pixel value contains red, green, and blue
- components as for %GDK_VISUAL_TRUE_COLOR, but the components are mapped via a
- color table into the final output table instead of being converted directly.
-
-
-
-A set of values describing the possible byte-orders
-for storing pixel values in memory.
-
-
-@GDK_LSB_FIRST: The values are stored with the least-significant byte
- first. For instance, the 32-bit value 0xffeecc would be stored
- in memory as 0xcc, 0xee, 0xff, 0x00.
-@GDK_MSB_FIRST: The values are stored with the most-significant byte
-first. For instance, the 32-bit value 0xffeecc would be stored
-in memory as 0x00, 0xcc, 0xee, 0xff.
