<title>Replace GdkPixmap by cairo surfaces</title>

The #GdkPixmap object and related functions have been removed.
In the cairo-centric world of GTK+ 3, cairo surfaces
take over the role of pixmaps.

<title>Creating custom cursors</title>
<para>
One place where pixmaps were commonly used is to create custom
cursors:
<programlisting>
GdkCursor *cursor;
GdkPixmap *pixmap;
cairo_t *cr;
GdkColor fg = { 0, 0, 0, 0 };
pixmap = gdk_pixmap_new (NULL, 1, 1, 1);
cr = gdk_cairo_create (pixmap);
cairo_rectangle (cr, 0, 0, 1, 1);
cairo_fill (cr);
cairo_destroy (cr);
cursor = gdk_cursor_new_from_pixmap (pixmap, pixmap, &amp;fg, &amp;fg, 0, 0);
g_object_unref (pixmap);
</programlisting>
The same can be achieved without pixmaps, by drawing onto
an image surface:
<programlisting>
GdkCursor *cursor;
cairo_surface_t *s;
cairo_t *cr;
GdkPixbuf *pixbuf;
s = cairo_image_surface_create (CAIRO_FORMAT_A1, 3, 3);
cr = cairo_create (s);
cairo_arc (cr, 1.5, 1.5, 1.5, 0, 2 * M_PI);
cairo_fill (cr);
cairo_destroy (cr);
pixbuf = gdk_pixbuf_get_from_surface (NULL, s,
0, 0, 0, 0,
3, 3);
cairo_surface_destroy (s);
cursor = gdk_cursor_new_from_pixbuf (display, pixbuf, 0, 0);
g_object_unref (pixbuf);
</programlisting>
