Description

GtkWidgetPaintable is an implementation of the GdkPaintable interface that allows displaying the contents of a GtkWidget.

GtkWidgetPaintable will also take care of the widget not being in a state where it can be drawn (like when it isn't shown) and just draw nothing or where it does not have a size (like when it is hidden) and report no size in that case.

Of course, GtkWidgetPaintable allows you to monitor widgets for size changes by emitting the “invalidate-size” signal whenever the size of the widget changes as well as for visual changes by emitting the “invalidate-contents” signal whenever the widget changes.

You can of course use a GtkWidgetPaintable everywhere a GdkPaintable is allowed, including using it on a GtkPicture (or one of its parents) that it was set on itself via gtk_picture_set_paintable(). The paintable will take care of recursion when this happens. If you do this however, ensure the “can-shrink” property is set to TRUE or you might end up with an infinitely growing widget.
