This is an extrac of the code which doesn't work:void Plotter::on_realize( void ){ // Create the GDK window refGdkWindow = Gdk::Window::create(get_window(), &attributes, GDK_WA_X | GDK_WA_Y); // Create Cairo context Cairo::RefPtr<Cairo::Context> cr = refGdkWindow->create_cairo_context();} bool Plotter::on_expose_event( GdkEventExpose* event ){ // ... Use cr to do some drawing} Both cr and refGdkWindow are members of the class Plotter. Instead if i do this everything goes fine: void Plotter::on_realize( void ){ // Create the GDK window refGdkWindow = Gdk::Window::create(get_window(), &attributes, GDK_WA_X | GDK_WA_Y);} bool Plotter::on_expose_event( GdkEventExpose* event ){ // Get cr to do some drawing Cairo::RefPtr<Cairo::Context> cr = refGdkWindow->create_cairo_context(); // Do some drawing ...} The last code works fine and i can implement it, but i prefer not redrawing all the graph because performance issues, I'm developing this application for an embedded device. So, if anyone can see what's wrong in the first code or just explain me (us) why i can't do that, you are wellcome! Regards,Diego A.
