RE: drawing area and expose event

["satyajit kanungo" <satyajit kanungo wipro com>]

 Thanks a lot 
 I shall put all my drawings  in the expose event and try my application again.
 I had taken the  sample program form GdkRGB chapter (gdk API Reference) and was trying 
 it the other way round . 

 So whenever I want some drawings to happen in my drawable I should better call
 a  gtk_widget_queue_draw_area() or gdk_window_invalidate_rect() and do all the 
 drawing in the expose event callback .
 Please correct me if I have understood it wrongly
