you wrote: I set the position and called the clutter_actor_show() in the do_triangle_paint() function which is wrong on a couple of issues: there's no need to call clutter_actor_show() anymore, all actors are shown by default when setting their parent, and surely you don't need to call clutter_actor_show() inside a paint function. but, more importantly, you don't say of which actor you're setting the position. your custom actor? the label? you should really read the API reference, in the section "Implementing a new actor": http://www.clutter-project.org/docs/clutter/stable/clutter-subclassing-ClutterActor.html in short: - if you have children actors you should override the allocate virtual function and reposition the label depending on the allocation box that has been given to you by your parent actor - if you want to provide a preferred size for your actor, you should also override get_preferred_width() and get_preferred_height(). ciao, Emmanuele. -- Emmanuele Bassi, OpenedHand Ltd.
