Hi. Being a bit of a GNOME new boy, I'm after a bit of advice on choice of widgets. I'm trying to write an app that displays a set of thumbnail images, with the thumbnails generated on the fly from a set of PNG/JPEG files. I'm not quite sure what's available from Python either.
I've been digging around the GNOME API and the gnome-python modules and have come up with a couple of possibilites for handling the images; imlib and gdk-pixbuf. I've no idea which is the most suitable. Is imlib on it's way out? I couldn't find any docs for it on the GNOME API page. If I want to arrange these thumbnails in a grid of image previews (similar to the way Nautilus arranges preview images when in "View as Icons" mode), what would be an efficient (speed wise) way of packing them? I was thinking of either a simple table, in some kind of scrolled window, or a GnomeCanvas (which I've just started reading up on). At the end of the day, I'm still pretty clueless though. Any pointers? Thanks... -- Graham Ashton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ pygtk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.daa.com.au/mailman/listinfo/pygtk
