I am developing a GUI app in Linux to draw arbitrary shapes on a background image. It's just like the scribble tutorial, with the addition that I want to set a jpeg image as the background, and then draw on it. The tutorial uses a DrawingArea widget. The user is completely responsible for drawing the contents of this widget. What would I need to do to set an image as the background. Is there some other widget to be used for this ?
Yeah, you want to be using the GtkDrawingAreaWithAJPEGAsABackground widget...
Just load the JPEG into a pixbuf (gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file), and render the pixbuf into the drawing area before the user starts to scribble (gdk_draw_pixbuf(widget->window, NULL, my_pixbuf...)). How much more obvious could it be?
