+	A number of resources are used when performing graphics
+	operations in. Most information about performing graphics (for
+	example, foreground color, background color, line style, and
+	so on) is stored in resources called graphics contexts
+	(GCs). Most graphics operations take a GC as an
+	argument.
+      </para>
+      <para>
+	Graphics operations can be performed to either windows (<see
+	cref="T:Gdk.Window"/>) or pixmaps (<see
+	cref="T:Gdk.Pixmap"/>), which collectively are called
+	drawables (see cref="T:Gdk.Drawable"/>.  Each drawable exists
+	on a single screen.  A GC is created for a specific screen and
+	drawable depth and can only be used with drawables of matching
+	screen and depth.
