Thanks for your advice. Unfortunately, this doesn't help here, since all the examples you cite use GTK, so they don't have the same problem, as they draw on existing drawables. What I want is drawing on an image that will not be rendered on screen. So I have no graphical context, just a GdkPixbuf as an input, and I want to modify that image to save it in a file. There's no problem for me if I don't work directly on the GdkPixbuf: something that will convert the GdkPixbuf into somethins else that I can draw on is an acceptable solution.
