Re: [gtk-list] Accessing a GdkPixmap?

[Walt Pohl <pohl math washington edu>]

For information of how pixmaps are stored, you should definitely look in
some Xwindows documentation.  It's complicated, it depends on the
visual type, and there's more than one way, XYPixmaps, and ZPixmaps
(though maybe GTK only uses one of them).

I'd be glad to help with any question you might have.
