+/**
+ * SECTION:cogl-output
+ * @short_description: information about an output device
+ *
+ * The #CoglOutput object holds information about an output device
+ * such as a monitor or laptop display. It can be queried to find
+ * out the position of the output with respect to the screen
+ * coordinate system and other information such as the resolution
+ * and refresh rate of the device.
+ *
+ * There can be any number of outputs which may overlap: the
+ * same area of the screen may be displayed by multiple output
+ * devices.
+ *
+ * XXX: though it's possible to query the position of the output
+ * with respect to screen coordinates, there is currently no way
+ * of finding out the position of a #CoglOnscreen in screen
+ * coordinates, at least without using windowing-system specific
+ * API's, so it's not easy to get the output positions relative
+ * to the #CoglOnscreen.
