## Supported examples
Examples provided in the examples/ root directory are actively
maintained. If there are any issues in examples read top comments
in sources to see whether this is a known issue with available
workarounds.
**Featured**
- [hello_world.py](hello_world.py) - Basic example, doesn't require any
third party GUI framework to run
- [tutorial.py](tutorial.py) - Example from [Tutorial](../docs/Tutorial.md)
- [screenshot.py](screenshot.py) - Example of off-screen rendering mode
to create a screenshot of a web page. The code from this example is
discussed in great details in Tutorial in the [Off-screen rendering](../docs/Tutorial.md#off-screen-rendering)
section.
**Embedding using various GUI frameworks**
- [gtk2.py](gtk2.py): example for [PyGTK](http://www.pygtk.org/)
library (GTK 2)

**Unit tests**
There are also available unit tests and its usage of the API can
be of some use. See [main_test.py](../unittests/main_test.py).
