Do you mean you "did not get the ideas behind the API" of the drawing functions, or cells-gtk in general? I think the biggest problem with cell-gtk is the lack of documentation of Cells. And for me, some of the design choices of Cells are not intuitive, making documenting it difficult. The drawing functions are a rough work-in-progress. The idea behind them hasn't really been expressed yet (I had in mind something with closures, but it needs lots of work). > > I think joining together clg and cells-gtk would create a killer GUI > library for common lisp! Just my 0.02€ I took a quick look at clg and Cairo. Is what you like most about clg the Cairo port? clg looks ok. Cairo looks like the interesting part of it. I am not a "graphics person" but just someone who needed a GUI for lisp and stumbled into cells-gtk. It is good that I saw Cairo now, before I got too deep into drawing. I'll play around with it next time I get a chance to work on Cells-gtk.
