I have the feeling :that all you want to do is to draw something on the preview window. That's exactly right; I realise that my original question got bogged down with specifics- sorry. Put simply, I want to use the high-level Drawable functions to draw a line or arrow on the preview window. The tutorial example only uses the pixel-level functions. It's not clear how- or if- I can use (e.g.) gimp_pencil() and friends. :If that is true, then you definitely don't want to use :gimp_pencil() or similar functions. Umm... that's *exactly* what I wanted to do. But from your reply I guess that (a) it's not possible, or (b) it's a bad idea...? - triffid@xxxxxxxxxx _____________________________________________________________ Get your FREE OiNK-Mail ---> http://www.oink.co.uk Adopt an animal today and help support wildlife conservation ---> http://www.adoption.co.uk The Rainforests.
