/** A Gdk::Visual describes a particular video hardware display format.
 * It includes information about the number of bits used for each color, the way the bits are translated into an RGB value
 * for display, and the way the bits are stored in memory. For example, a piece of display hardware might support 24-bit
 * color, 16-bit color, or 8-bit color; meaning 24/16/8-bit pixel sizes. For a given pixel size, pixels can be in different
 * formats; for example the "red" element of an RGB pixel may be in the top 8 bits of the pixel, or may be in the lower 4
 * bits.
 *
 * Usually you can avoid thinking about visuals in GTK+. Visuals are useful to interpret the contents of a GdkImage, but
 * you should avoid Gdk::Image precisely because its contents depend on the display hardware; use Gdk::Pixbuf instead, for
 * all but the most low-level purposes. Also, anytime you provide a Gdk::Colormap, the visual is implied as part of the
 * colormap (Gdk::Colormap::get_visual()), so you won't have to provide a visual in addition.
 *
 * There are several standard visuals. The visual returned by get_system() is the system's default visual. get_visual()
 * returns the visual most suited to displaying full-color image data. If you use the calls in Gdk::RGB, you should create
 * your windows using this visual (and the colormap returned by Gdk::Rgb::get_colormap()).
 *
 * A number of methods are provided for determining the "best" available visual. For the purposes of making this
 * determination, higher bit depths are considered better, and for visuals of the same bit depth, GDK_VISUAL_PSEUDO_COLOR
 * is preferred at 8bpp, otherwise, the visual types are ranked in the order of (highest to lowest) GDK_VISUAL_DIRECT_COLOR,
 * GDK_VISUAL_TRUE_COLOR, GDK_VISUAL_PSEUDO_COLOR, GDK_VISUAL_STATIC_COLOR, GDK_VISUAL_GRAYSCALE, then
 * GDK_VISUAL_STATIC_GRAY.
