Hello I am trying to modify the scribble program in the tutorial to incorporate GdkPixbuf rather than GdkPixmap. The function that creates a GdkPixbuf is as follows:- pixbuf = gdk_pixbuf_new (GDK_COLORSPACE_RGB,TRUE,5,widget->allocation.width, widget->allocation.height); The function to render the pixbuf on the widget is as follows :- gdk_draw_pixbuf(widget->window,widget->style->white_gc,pixbuf,200,200,200,200,widget->allocation.width,widget->allocation.height,GDK_RGB_DITHER_NORMAL,200,200); and then I am passing the pixbuf to gdk_draw_rectangle as follows:- gdk_draw_rectangle (pixbuf,widget->style->white_gc,TRUE,0, 0,widget->allocation.width, widget->allocation.height); Basically the thing that I am trying to do is use pixbuf rather than pixmap as my backing pixbuf. However for some reason the pixbuf does not show up on the widget and I am not able to draw on it. Firstly can I use GdkPixbuf rather than GdkPixmap to to the scribble? Also could somebody point out if I have not defined the functions properly.
