/** \defgroup  callback_functions Callback function typedefs
 \brief Typedefs defined in <FL/Fl.H> for callback or handler functions passed as function parameters.

    FLTK uses callback functions as parameters for some function calls, e.g. to
    set up global event handlers (Fl::add_handler()), to add a timeout handler
    (Fl::add_timeout()), and many more.

    The typedefs defined in this group describe the function parameters used to set
    up or clear the callback functions and should also be referenced to define the
    callback function to handle such events in the user's code.

    \see Fl::add_handler(), Fl::add_timeout(), Fl::repeat_timeout(),
	 Fl::remove_timeout() and others

	character use the value of that ASCII character plus FL_KP.

    \li All numbered function keys use the number on the function key plus 
	FL_F.  The highest possible number is FL_F_Last, so you
	can range-check a value.
    \li Buttons on the mouse are considered keys, and use the button
	number (where the left button is 1) plus FL_Button.
    \li All other keys on the keypad have a symbol: FL_Escape,
	FL_BackSpace, FL_Tab, FL_Enter, FL_Print, FL_Scroll_Lock, FL_Pause,
	FL_Insert, FL_Home, FL_Page_Up, FL_Delete, FL_End, FL_Page_Down,

  Pastes the data from the selection buffer (\p source is 0) or the clipboard

  The selection buffer (\p source is 0) is used for middle-mouse pastes and for
  drag-and-drop selections. The clipboard (\p source is 1) is used for
  copy/cut/paste operations.

  If \p source is 1, the optional \p type argument indicates what type of data is requested from the clipboard.
  At present, Fl::clipboard_plain_text (requesting text data) and
  Fl::clipboard_image (requesting image data) are possible.
  Set things up so the handle function of the \p receiver widget will be called with an FL_PASTE event some
  time in the future if the clipboard does contain data of the requested type. 
  While processing the FL_PASTE event:
  \li if \p type is Fl::clipboard_plain_text, the text string from the specified \p source is in Fl::event_text()
   with UTF-8 encoding, and the number of bytes in Fl::event_length(). 
   If Fl::paste() gets called during the drop step of a files-drag-and-drop operation,
   Fl::event_text() contains a list of filenames (see \ref events_dnd).
  \li if \p type is Fl::clipboard_image, the pointer returned by Fl::event_clipboard() can be safely cast to
   type Fl_Image * to obtain a pointer to the pasted image. Furthermore, starting with FLTK 1.3.4, the image is
   of type Fl_RGB_Image across all platforms. 
   If \p receiver accepts the clipboard image, receiver.handle() should return 1 and the
   application should take ownership of this image (that is, delete it after use). 
   Conversely, if receiver.handle() returns 0, the application must not use the image.

  The receiver should be prepared to be called \e directly by this, or for
  it to happen \e later, or possibly <i>not at all</i>.  This
  allows the window system to take as long as necessary to retrieve
  the paste buffer (or even to screw up completely) without complex
  and error-prone synchronization code in FLTK.

   \par Platform details for image data:
   \li Unix/Linux platform: Clipboard images in PNG or BMP formats are recognized. Requires linking with the fltk_images library.
   \li MSWindows platform: Both bitmap and vectorial (Enhanced metafile) data from clipboard
   can be pasted as image data.
   \li Mac OS X platform: Both bitmap (TIFF) and vectorial (PDF) data from clipboard
   can be pasted as image data.

/**
  This class should be used to control safe widget deletion.

  You can use an Fl_Widget_Tracker object to watch another widget, if you
  need to know, if this widget has been deleted during a callback.

  This simplifies the use of the "safe widget deletion" methods
  Fl::watch_widget_pointer() and Fl::release_widget_pointer() and
  makes their use more reliable, because the destructor autmatically
  releases the widget pointer from the widget watch list.

  It is intended to be used as an automatic (local/stack) variable,
  such that the automatic destructor is called when the object's
  scope is left. This ensures that no stale widget pointers are
  left in the widget watch list (see example below).
  
  You can also create Fl_Widget_Tracker objects with \c new, but then it
  is your responsibility to delete the object (and thus remove the
  widget pointer from the watch list) when it is not needed any more.

  Example:

  \code
    int MyClass::handle (int event) {

      if (...) {
	Fl_Widget_Tracker wp(this);	// watch myself
	do_callback();			// call the callback

	if (wp.deleted()) return 1;	// exit, if deleted

	// Now we are sure that the widget has not been deleted.
	// It is safe to access the widget

	clear_changed();		// access the widget
      }
    }
  \endcode
