Well, there's something wrong with the cells cvs again, so it would not let me commit my latest changes. You can grab the latest version here:
http://www.washbear-network.de/fritz/pub/cells-gtk3.zip My suggestions: (1) Cairo Drawing Area I have the cairo drawing area thing working by now and put in a simple example (creates boxes and circles and random positions, then they react on mouse over, can be selected, dragged around, and you can use a select box (like in windows explorer) to select and move many shapes at once). I finally took the time and get the kids slot to work properly, so you can have ruled kids slots on your drawing primitives and have cells create other shapes for you (say, you want to draw a sun -- then you start with a yellow filled circle and have a kids rule creating some lines for the rays. The number of rays may depend on a widget (and so can the length), and you have a "declarative drawing"). (2) Tree View >From the stuff present in the demo I personally like the tree view example, since it lets you explore the actual object hierarchy of the demo. I don't even know whethe something like this could be done in C at all. (3) Cells Tree View Works like a charm -- as long as you don't delete stuff from the observed structure (I ran into a conceptual problem with cells3 here, gonna ask you on the cells list when I have the time to deal with that). Anyway, I deactivated the delete button, and the rest is still pretty nice. (4) Threading It is relly nice and lispy to use the repl to change properties of the windows currently displayed and to add and remove widgets interactively (especially if you have a background in C) -- but I don't know whether that works in MS Windows. Just checked, bordeaux-threads on windows does not support Allegro. Bummer. (5) MAYBE: cells-ode + open gl That'd be really neat -- if I figure out the opengl drawing area and port my current physics simulator code to cells-ode as a backend plus gtk-gl as a front end. They say there's a weekend coming up, so stay tuned.
