It does not seem neccessary to create 2 separate Cairo Contexts:
class MyArea : public Gtk::DrawingArea
{
public:
virtual ~MyArea();
protected:
//Override default signal handler:
virtual bool on_expose_event(
>
> GdkEventExpose* event);
> };
> MyArea::MyArea()
> {
> }
> MyArea::~MyArea()
> {
> }
> bool MyArea::on_expose_event(GdkEventExpose* event)
> {
> // This is where we draw on the window
> Cairo::RefPtr<Cairo::Context> cr = window->create_cairo_context();
> cr->set_line_width(10.0);
> cr->move_to(0, 0);
> cr->line_to(100, 100);
> cr->stroke();
> return true;
> }
This will work equally well. Is there any specific reason why you want to
keep the surface member in the class and use it the way you wrote it in the
preceding mail?
