Forum: Ruby-Gnome 2 Gtk::DrawingArea and Icons

Hi,

is it possible to put up images/icons within a Gtk::DrawingArea?

I.e. if i have the image of a little cat, can this be displayed on it?

Right now I only saw examples with custom elements, things like

  cairo_context = widget.window.create_cairo_context
  cairo_context.scale(*widget.window.size)


Thanks

Generally, it's easy to work with pixbufs.


require 'gtk2'

class MainView < Gtk::DrawingArea

    def initialize
        super()
        signal_connect('expose-event') { draw }
        signal_connect('configure-event') { update_shown }
    end

    def update_shown
        w, h = window.size
        puts "my size: #{w}x#{h}"
        #- normally you could create a pixbuf related to w,h (scaling
images, drawing..)
        @pixbuf = Gtk::Image.new('/tmp/foo.png').pixbuf
        return true
    end

    def draw
        window.draw_pixbuf(nil, @pixbuf, 0, 0, 10, 10, -1, -1,
Gdk::RGB::DITHER_NONE, -1, -1)
    end
end

Gtk.init

w = Gtk::Window.new
w.add(MainView.new)
w.show_all

Gtk.main
