```go
```go
type Area struct {		// implements Control
	// Paint receives requests to redraw from the window system.
	Paint		chan PaintRequest

	// Keyboard receives keyboard events.
	Key		chan KeyEvent			// not covered here

	// Mouse receives mouse events.
	Mouse	chan MouseEvent		// not covered here
}

// PaintRequest represents a request to redraw an Area.
// It is sent across Area.Paint.
type PaintRequest struct {
	// Rect is the clipping rectangle that needs redraw.
	Rect		image.Rect

	// Out is a channel on which you send the image to redraw.
	Out		chan<- *image.NRGBA
}
```

and an example of intended use:

```go
func myAreaGoroutine(area *ui.Area, start <-chan bool) {
	var img *image.NRGBA

	// initialize img here
	<-start		// sent after calling Window.Open()
	area.SetSize(img.Rect.Dx(), img.Rect.Dy())	// sets the internal size; scrollbars and scrolling is handled automatically
	for {
		select {
		case req := <-area.Paint:
			req.Out <- img.SubImage(req.Rect).(*image.NRGBA)
		case e := <-area.Mouse:
			// draw on a mouse click, for instance
		}
	}
}
```

## GTK+
We can use `GtkDrawingArea`. We hook into the `draw` signal; it does something equivalent to

```go
func draw_callback(widget *C.GtkWidget, cr *C.cairo_t, data C.gpointer) C.gboolean {
	s := (*sysData)(unsafe.Pointer(data))
	// TODO get clip rectangle that needs drawing
	imgret := make(chan *image.NRGBA)
	defer close(imgret)
	s.paint <- PaintRequest{
		Rect:		/* clip rect */,
		Out:		imgret,
	}
	i := <-imgret
	pixbuf := C.gdk_pixbuf_new_from_data(
		(*C.guchar)(unsafe.Pointer(&i.Pix[0])),
		C.GDK_COLORSPACE_RGB,
		C.TRUE,			// has alpha channel
		8,				// bits per sample
		C.int(i.Rect.Dx()),
		C.int(i.Rect.Dy()),
		C.int(i.Stride),
		nil, nil)			// do not free data
	C.gdk_cairo_set_source_pixbuf(cr,
		pixbuf,
		/* x of clip rect */,
		/* y of clip rect */)
	return C.FALSE		// TODO what does this return value mean? docs don't say
}
```

TODO figure out how scrolling plays into this
