Ellipse object in GDK

In G开发者_开发技巧DK there's an object called GdkRectangle that is used to draw rectangles. Is there a similar object for ellipses?

No. Actually, GdkRectangle is not used to draw rectangles directly, it is merely used to specify rectangle position. For instance, gdk_draw_rectangle() doesn't even accept any GdkRectangle argument. To draw an ellipse, you could use gdk_draw_arc().

Note that using GDK for drawing is quite outdated. You could use Cairo and functions cairo_rectangle() and cairo_arc() for this.
