Re: gdk_pixbuf_loader_write memory leak

[milton soto <miltonpsoto yahoo com>]

Hi

Thank You VERY VERY much for responding 

I’m new to GTK/GDK and I’m have a hard time
finding (good) information/examples on pixmap/pixbuf

I tried using pixmap’s but kept on getting junk displayed.
I guess I missed a step or two. 

If you can send me a small example or point me to a web page
that has an example on how to do the steps you suggested, I 
would gladly appreciated.



YOUR STEPS

You just need to convert your raw pixels to GdkRGB and display it.

The faster (but it works with local X server only) way is:
1. Create shared pixmap.
2. Allocate all pixels (create relation raw pixel -> actual display 
pixel).
3. Fill pixmap.
4. Put it on screen.
5. Go to 3.


Again,  Thank You for the info.

Milt
