GdkImlib implements its own image data and pixmap caches, and sometimes ends up working against the programmer. So, you want to create a GdkPixbuf from the image file (gdkpixbuf.new_from_file) in get_map(), and render it in map_draw() the pixbuf's render_to_drawable() method.
Rather than creating a server side pixbuf of the whole map, this will just maintain the client side RGB buffer, and render the required region on request (which is should be fast enough). You almost never want to use Imlib 1.x :) James. -- Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Linux.conf.au http://linux.conf.au/ WWW: http://www.daa.com.au/~james/ | Jan 22-25 Perth, Western Australia. _______________________________________________ pygtk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.daa.com.au/mailman/listinfo/pygtk Read the PyGTK FAQ: http://www.async.com.br/faq/pygtk/
