=head1 NAME

Gtk2::GC

=for position DESCRIPTION

=head1 DESCRIPTION

These functions provide access to a shared pool of L<Gtk2::Gdk::GC>
objects. When a new L<Gtk2::Gdk::GC> is needed, I<Gtk2::Gdk::GC::get> is called
with the required depth, colormap and I<Gtk2::Gdk::GCValues>. If a
L<Gtk2::Gdk::GC> with the required properties already exists then that is
returned. If not, a new L<Gtk2::Gdk::GC> is created. When the L<Gtk2::Gdk::GC>
is no longer needed, I<Gtk2::Gdk::GC::release> should be called.
