Hi again. First up sorry to anyone who hasn't heard back from me yet, I haven't received a digest since joining the list and I'm too scared to change off digest mode in case I lose all the mail until now. Weird.
Now I've another question stemming from trying to do something I thought would be simple. :-) I can't seem to find any way of drawing text and keeping it inside set bounds. Again the docs in this area are sparse, and the interface confusing. A Layout has a width but not a height, for example. The docs say that Pango does more but doesn't give any details. I've messed around myself: DrawLayoutLine seems to fail in some cases or it draws text in the wrong place - this is presumably due to internal coordinate translation (or lack thereof). Also, changing the ClipRectangle of a GC seems to cause crazy problems if you try to change it back again during the same drawing cycle. Any ideas? And one last question, should I be drawing allocated or unallocated colours? I don't know about colourmaps or when I might have or not have one - some Linux environments have them don't they? Thanks again, Aaron. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aaron Oxford - aaron+hardwarehookups .com .au Director, Innovative Computer Solutions (Aust) Pty.
