displaying tiled map in Gtk+ app
Hi I am about to embark on a project that will involve a GUI application that will need to display a map interface, generated from a global map tile cache (on local disk) at different levels of zoom. The app will be written using Gtk, and while I am fairly familiar with the basic Gtk widgets, I am unsure how to approach the map interfa...
gtk: set cellrenderertext foreground color when a row is highlighted
When I have a gtk.CellRendererText, I can associate its foreground color with one of the tree store's columns, and set the foreground-set attribute to True, to change the color of the text in that column. However, when the row with the colored column is selected, its color disappears, and is the same as any selected cell's color. How do ...
Choosing a Perl GUI Module for maximum cross platform usage
I'm working on a couple of personal project to improve my Perl skills. Among other things they need to provide a GUI interface on different OSes. In the past what little GUI work I did on Perl used TK (and that was just working through some sample projects). I know that beyond TK, Qt and GTK are also options. Are there others? Among...

Preventing terminal window from popping up when launching program
Hi. I am compiling this program on Windows, with gcc (MinGW) and GTK+: #include <gtk/gtk.h> void *destroy(GtkWidget *widget, gpointer data) { gtk_main_quit(); } int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { // Initalize GTK+ gtk_init(&argc, &argv); // Create GTK+ window GtkWidget *window = gtk_window_new(GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL...
Drawing areas and expose events.
I have a dialogue which contains a drawing area. I wish to redraw the contents of the drawing area if the dialogue is enlarged or shrunk or buried and exposed, as is normal and natural with drawing areas. To this end, I created a method bool on_expose_event (GdkEventExpose *event); in the class. But the presence of this event stops a...

Drawing a temporary 'select' rectangle on a drawing area.
I have a complex drawing on a Gtk DrawingArea widget and I wish to provide the user with a way to select a rectangle on it to expand for a closer view. I have managed to get the necessary mouse button events sorted out so that the rectangle can be selected, but it would be desirable to have the actual rectangle drawn on the display, movi...
Zooming at mouse position without messing up scrollbars?
I'm creating an image editing program in GTK\C, and I can't figure out how to make zoom work; I need to zoom my Cairo-based canvas to the mouse cursor's position, but Cairo only zooms to center of the image it displays. The normal way to get around this is to transform, zoom, and then transform back; but that messes up the scrollbars sur...

GUIs vs TUIs in Python
I'm interested in doing rapid app development in Python. Since this is mainly for prototyping purposes, I'm looking for a way of creating "rough" user interfaces. By this, I mean that they don't have to look professional, they just have to be flexible enough to make it look the way I want. Originally I was going to do this by creating a ...

Python GTK/threading/sockets error
I'm trying to build a Python application using pyGTK, treads, and sockets. I'm having this weird error, but given all the modules involved, I'm not entirely sure where the error is.

Need help writing "backgroundless" widget for wxWidgets (wxGTK) using GTK2
Hi there. My question is concerned with GTK2 and wxWidgets (actually wxGTK). In wxGTK all controls have grey background by default and it is impossible to remove it.

PyGTK - polling GTK table for locations of widgets
I'm working on a Python application involving the use of a GTK table. The application requires that widgets of various sizes be added to a table dynamically. Because of this, I need to be able to ask the table what cells are in use (more accurately, NOT in use) so that I know where I can place a new widget without overlapping. Based...
