Hello all, I am trying to use gtk.DrawingArea to draw an orange rectangle, using some of the information at http://www.pygtk.org/pygtk2tutorial/ch-DrawingArea.html.
I have included a sample of my code below, which draws a black rectangle. However, I cannot get it to accept the color information from gc. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- import gtk class CustomDrawingArea(gtk.DrawingArea): def __init__(self): gtk.DrawingArea.__init__(self) self.connect("expose_event", self.expose) def expose(self, widget, event): self.context = widget.window.cairo_create() self.draw(self.context) return False def draw(self, context): drawable = self.window gc = drawable.new_gc() gc.foreground = gtk.gdk.color_parse("orange") gc.fill = gtk.gdk.SOLID drawable.draw_rectangle(gc, True, x=100, y=100, width=10, height=50) def main(): window = gtk.Window() window.set_size_request(500, 500) cda = CustomDrawingArea() window.add(cda) window.connect("destroy", gtk.main_quit) window.show_all() gtk.main() if __name__ == "__main__": main() _______________________________________________ pygtk mailing list pygtk@daa.com.au http://www.daa.com.au/mailman/listinfo/pygtk Read the PyGTK FAQ: http://faq.pygtk.org/
