GdkBitmap

[Richard Plana <rplana zicorp com>]

Hi,

Could someone explain the GdkBitmap structure? I need to create a shaped 
window which requires a bitmap of the transparent and visible (0 and 1) 
pixels of a window as a GdkBitmap, but the API reference guide doc has 
nothing on its format. The only bit of info I've found on the Internet 
is a reference to a function which returns a GdkBitmap object from an 
image (using the Imlib library and gdk_imlib_copy_mask() function). I 
actually have a function which plots the areas in the window which is 
transparent and which isn't.

Better yet, are there functions which allow one to create GdkBitmap 
objects and manipulate it (ie. turn pixels(x,y) on and off)?
