I did the work on that branch.Gremlin can not work in gtk3. I did some experimental work on a gremlin substitute...it's was too much work for me to figure out but I could dig up the code when I'm next at home..in a couple weeks. I think I got as far as displaying the origin and axis letters , pan as zoom. I would love for someone to take this on. I quit working on the branch because of this hurdle.

I would like to port gremlin to gtk3, but I need some place to start, like a minimalistic gui example that uses gtk3 and imports gremlin. Norbert mentioned that it would be no problem to port the widgets. Rene > On 15.
