Thanks to several people in this list I managed to put together a very simple application that uses threads, which others might find useful. This is more an exercise to understand the bare essentials of spawning a thread off a GUI, have it compute something, and, when the time is right (i.e. when data becomes available), have it draw on the GUI's drawing area. The user can start/stop the working thread at any time. It's all built with glade, so just do the obvious to compile it (run autogen.sh, then make). Experts might find it lame, or obvious, but I'd really like to know whether it is correct or not. If people find it useful I could spend some time documenting it, which, given the general lack of written documentation (particularly for glade), might not be a bad idea. Here it is: http://www.cse.msu.edu/~minutsil/Linux Many thanks to those who answered my questions. _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
