Re: Fmaps and gtkglarea

[James Henstridge <james daa com au>]

Have you read the gtk tutorial (specifically the part about subclassing
widgets)?  If not, read it as it should tell you enough to start creating
new widgets.

Basically you have a get_type() function for the widget that registers the
name, size, class and instance initialisation routines, parent class, etc
for the class.  You then do your initialisation in the instance init
routine (the parent's instance init routine will automatically be called).
Then in your widget's new() routine, you use something like:
  widget = gtk_type_new(gtk_fmaps_get_type());
