> The name of the file was extXdrawable_demo.c. Hi Jonathan: Thanks for that additional information. I have found that demo now. It's in examples/c/cairo. I overlooked it because it was not incorporated into our build system (nothing built or installed), but I will take responsibility for addressing that issue. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
