Description shy 2011-12-26 13:07:25 UTC 
Calling the get_visible_region method of a Gdk.Window raises the TypeError.

>>> from gi.repository import Gtk
>>> win = Gtk.Window()
>>> darea = Gtk.DrawingArea()
>>> win.add(darea)
>>> darea.realize()
>>> darea.get_window().get_visible_region()
Traceback (most recent call last):

+ Trace 229340

  • File "<stdin>", line 1 in <module>
  • File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gi/types.py", line 43 in function 
    return info.invoke(*args, **kwargs)
TypeError: Couldn't find conversion for foreign struct 'cairo.Region' 

I also tried get_clip_region method and got same error.
