/** \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

      In this last case, you don't need anymore to call Fl::cairo_make_current().

/**
  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
