RE: Query regarding drawing gtk_draw_rectangle API

["Vallone, Anthony" <anthony vallone lmco com>]

gdk_gc_new(your_widget->window) will allocate a graphics context that you can use to draw a rectangle.  You should call gdk_gc_unref() when you are done with it.

 

Alternatively, you could just create a GtkEventBox and use gtk_widget_modify_bg().

Subject: Fwd: Query regarding drawing gtk_draw_rectangle API

Hi All,

 

I have to create a simple box filled with some color.

I am using the gdk_draw_rectangle API but it takes

gc graphics Context parameter. I am not able to find out

proper values for gc. I saw the scribble.c program available

but it is not compiling using gcc. Does some one has some

application which is using gtk_draw_rectangle(). I have gone

through its documentation but i am not able to make a simple

function using it....

 

Please if any one knows how to use this function and parameters

passed to GdkGC explain it.

 

Regards,

Nisha
