What widget do I use and what function call do I use. I tried an image widget But it does not show jpg files. bye shiraz Hi Shiraz, You can use the GtkDrawingArea Widget for Display, and GdkPixBuf for holding the Image data , 1.) Create a Drawing Area 2.) Add to your main application Window 3.) Connect the Signal handlers to the Drawing Area , like Configure-event, expose-event etc. 4.) In the expose event, use gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file , check for Error http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gdk-pixbuf/gdk-pixbuf-file-loading.ht ml 5.) After you get the PixBuf returned here , you can get the height, Rowstride and width of the image from Pixbuf, 6.) You should now get the pixels get_pixels or something, there is a call to get pixels array from the Pixbuf( Consult Documentation of GdkPixBuf) 7.) gdk_draw_rgb_image --> can now be used to draw the raw data on the screen, Note: I used it sometime back , and i do not remember the names of the functions fully ! Hope it helps . Cheers. Simith __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
