I’m new to FXRuby, and I’m having a problem with displaying images. I’m  
simply trying to display an image in a vertical scroll window, with the  
end result being a program that shows multiple images with vertical  
scrolling. I can get button icons to work just fine. I have tried  
using both FXImageView and FXImageFrame. What am I doing wrong? A  
sample of my code is:

require ‘fox16’  
include Fox  
theApp = FXApp.new

imageFile = File.open(“gm.jpg”, “rb”)  
theMainWindow = FXMainWindow.new(theApp, “Hello”, nil, nil, DECOR\_ALL,  
400, 400)  
firstWindow = FXScrollArea.new(theMainWindow,  
VSCROLLER\_ALWAYS|LAYOUT\_FILL\_X|LAYOUT\_FILL\_Y)  
image = FXJPGIcon.new(theApp, imageFile.read)  
imageView = FXImageView.new(firstWindow, image)

theApp.create  
theMainWindow.show  
theApp.run
