drawing area widget

[Victor STANESCU <bruno Heineken lmn pub ro>]

is it possible to find out the size of a drawingarea widget as it was
allocated after packing? and not just the size that i want it to have?

if i put scrollbars to a drawing area, it can be larger than the size
displayed on screen and move around using them, or i have to simulate the
action of scrollbars myself?

how can i draw a smaller rectangle from a larger gdk pixmap on a drawing
area?

finally, how can i resize a gdk pixmap ?

thanks in advance,
