Sorry I didn't explain myself well. It is the label I want to duplicate 20 times, not the parent actor. I am quite pessimistic about the answers because I could not find a ClutterActor::copy or even GObject::copy virtual functio which each actor could override... you can simply create a new actor setting all the properties at construction time: copy = g_object_new (CLUTTER_TYPE_LABEL, "text", clutter_label_get_text (orig), "font-name", clutter_label_get_font_name (orig), NULL); The problem is that I don't know what properties differ from default. The code I would be rather looking for is, suposing a g_object_duplicate function would exist: ClutterLabel* label = g_object_new (CLUTTER_TYPE_LABEL,                                     "text", "my text",                                     "font-name", "Sans serif 16",                                     NULL); // another segment of code clutter_label_set_line_wrap(label, true); // another segment of code // this would also copy the line_wrap flag ClutterLabel* label2 = CLUTTER_LABEL(g_object_duplicate(label)); Thanks, Michael ciao, Emmanuele. -- Michael Boccara Graphtech Herzliya, Israel -- To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
