  A drawing surface other than the computer's display, is typically used as follows:
  <ol><li> Create \c surface, an object from a particular Fl_Surface_Device derived class (e.g., Fl_Copy_Surface, Fl_Printer).
- <li> Memorize what is the current drawing surface with <tt> Fl_Surface_Device *old_current = Fl_Surface_Device::surface();</tt>

  current drawing surface (not necessary with class Fl_Printer because it is done by Fl_Printer::start_job()).
- <li> At this point any of the \ref fl_drawings (e.g., fl_rect()) or the \ref fl_attributes or \ref drawing_images functions
- (e.g., fl_draw_image(), Fl_Image::draw()) operates on the new current drawing surface.

+ (e.g., fl_draw_image(), Fl_Image::draw()) operate on the new current drawing surface.
  Certain drawing surfaces allow additional ways to draw to them (e.g., Fl_Printer::print_widget(), Fl_Image_Surface::draw()).
  <li> After all drawing requests have been performed, redirect graphics requests back to their previous destination
- with \c old_current->set_current();.
+ with \c Fl_Surface_Device::pop_current();.
  <li> Delete \c surface.
  </ol>
+ For back-compatibility, it is also possible to use the Fl_Surface_Device::set_current() member function
+ to change the current drawing surface, once to the new surface, once to the previous one.
