    <title>Introduction to gdk-pixbuf</title>

    <para>The <application>gdk-pixbuf</application> library is a toolkit for
    image loading and pixel buffer manipulation. It is used by gtk+-2 and
    gtk+-3 to load and manipulate images. In the past it was distributed as
    part of gtk+-2 but it was split off into a separate package in preparation
    for the change to gtk+-3.</para>
