[cairo] 'picking' with Cairo

[Ioannis Nousias]

Hello,

what's the preferred way to do 'picking' in Cairo. And by that I mean, 
given a 'path', to be able to test if a given point is within that path.

I'm planning to use cairo_path_extents() and then test if the 'point' 
(the mouse to be precise) is within the resulting bounding box, but I'd 
like to follow the 'shape' of the path as well.

any ideas?


thanks,
Ioannis
