I'm using Python 2.4 and I think Gtk 2.8(?)) Yes. And No. And in-between. GnomeCanvas is the widget. Don't let the name put you off - it no longer has any GNOME dependency or linkage or anything above and beyond what GTK itself does. Its pretty cool. Check out http://ardour.org/ for an example of a *big* application using it. It comes as its own library, libgnomecanvas, from the place you got GTK or gnome.org. OTOH, GnomeCanvas is no longer supported, and although the way forward is clear (a Canvas that uses Cairo), which of the 5-10 implementations of "the next Canvas" will eventually win out is anybody's guess right now. --p _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
