13.7.6 copy-area added, pixblt deprecated

The function gp:pixblt is deprecated. This is because drawing-mode :quality does not support the operation argument and also because gp:pixblt ignores transforms which means it does not always work as expected. In particular, it can it can draw to the wrong coordinates inside the display-callback of capi:output-pane .

Use instead the new function gp:copy-area , which copies a rectangular area from one graphics port to another taking account of the transform.

See also the gp:graphics-state parameter compositing-mode for a way to control how gp:copy-area blends the source and the target.
