On http://cairographics.org/examples/ the first example under the "Animation" header is "threaded animation with cairo" which can be found here: http://cairographics.org/threaded_animation_with_cairo/ The problem is this requires the use of deprecated functions in GObject and GDK, namely: - g_thread_supported() - g_thread_init() - gdk_threads_init() - gdk_threads_enter() - gdk_threads_leave() and perhaps others. While setting up another example would likely take some work, I figure a reasonable thing to do at this point would be to have a warning at the top of the page mentioning that the example is outdated and uses obsolete techniques.
Would you be interested in providing a better re-implementation of the example? If not, I think I'd favor removing the example entirely.
Yeah, I would love to do that.
