Tiles are explained briefly on page 228 (section 10.8) of my book.

Quick summary: you need to set the "fill" mode to GDK_TILED, and then
draw a filled shape like a filled rectangle or circle. The filled
shape will use your tile pixmap as the fill.

Doesn't sound like that's what you want; maybe you just want to draw a
pixmap over and over into the window, or maybe you want to set your
pixmap as the background pixmap (background pixmaps get tiled over the
background).
