The #GtkDrawingArea widget is used for creating custom user interface
|
|
elements. It's essentially a blank widget; you can draw on
|
|
<literal>widget->window</literal>. After creating a drawing area,
|
|
the application may want to connect to:
|
|
|
|
<itemizedlist>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Mouse and button press signals to respond to input from
|
|
the user. (Use gtk_widget_add_events() to enable events
|
|
you wish to receive.)

The following code portion demonstrates using a drawing
|
|
area to display a circle in the normal widget foreground
|
|
color.
|
|
Note that GDK automatically clears the exposed area
|
|
to the background color before sending the expose event, and
|
|
that drawing is implicitly clipped to the exposed area.

|
|
Draw signals are normally delivered when a drawing area first comes
|
|
onscreen, or when it's covered by another window and then uncovered.
|
|
You can also force a redraw by adding to the "damage region" of the
|
|
drawing area's window; use gtk_widget_queue_draw_area() to do this.
|
|
You'll then get a draw event for the invalid region.

The available routines for drawing are documented on the <link
|
|
linkend="gdk3-Cairo-Interaction">GDK Drawing Primitives</link> page
|
|
and the cairo documentation.

|
To receive mouse events on a drawing area, you will need to enable
|
|
them with gtk_widget_add_events(). To receive keyboard events, you
|
|
will need to set the #GTK_CAN_FOCUS flag on the drawing area, and
|
|
should probably draw some user-visible indication that the drawing
|
|
area is focused. Use the GTK_HAS_FOCUS() macro in your expose event
|
|
handler to decide whether to draw the focus indicator. See
|
|
gtk_paint_focus() for one way to draw focus.

Sometimes #GtkImage is a useful alternative to a drawing area.
|
|
You can put a #GdkPixmap in the #GtkImage and draw to the #GdkPixmap,
|
|
calling gtk_widget_queue_draw() on the #GtkImage when you want to
|
|
refresh to the screen.
