The bottom part of the Drawing Images 
<http://www.gtkmm.org/docs/gtkmm-2.4/docs/tutorial/html/sec-draw-images.html> 
section of Chap. 15 of  "Programming with gtkmm" 
(http://www.gtkmm.org/docs/gtkmm-2.4/docs/tutorial/html/index.html) has 
some code that may be related to what you're trying to do.  Maybe you 
can use something along what is described to achieve what you're trying 
to do.
