Re: Homogeneous table

HI,

Thanks for your reply. NExt i will change to gtk3, but i think that i need to change many things.. It could 
be simple to make a homogeneous table and hide images, unfortunately not..

Hi Ruben,

Consider using a drawing area and GTK3. There are more drawing and graphical capabilities in GTK3. Going 
forward to GTK4 I expect even more drawing capabilities since every computer sold these days has a gpu and 
the software can take advantage of that.

With a drawing area you get better control of what you can do with your image. It makes it easy to place the 
image in different places along with, transparency, text, animation, transforms,,, and a lot of other things.

For chicken placement you can use 5 separate drawing areas or merge them into one. I have something similar 
with selecting critters for gauge speed. A png picture here.

There is a simple picture in a drawing area with some animated text over it at

https://github.com/cecashon/OrderedSetVelociRaptor/blob/master/Misc/cairo_drawings/draw_chars1.c

The code is simple enough but it needs a picture and picture path for it to work. I think that it could be 
ported to GTK2 but haven't done so. I like the graphical capabilities of GTK3 so I sort of stick with that 
for now.
