I have an hbox divided into two side-by-side sections. In the left section I have a vertical list of gtk text entry boxes (serving as editable text labels) and in the right section I have a drawing area. What I'd like to do is to be able to draw "waveforms" or "traces" in the drawing area that line up with the text entry boxes (which form the labels for each trace). To get a rough idea of the sort of effect I'm after (although I should stress this is *not* what I'm trying to do as this is not using text boxes for the labels) take a look at: http://www.ind.uni-stuttgart.de/Content/HardwareDesignLab/vsim_small.gif In order to draw the "traces" on the right, I need to know the exact size of the text widgets. I can use gtk_widget_set_size_request() to force the size of the text box, but I'm worried that decorations and spacings and possible user resource file will make this value unreliable to use. What's the correct way to do this sort of thing? -- David J.
