Never mind, I figured this stuff out, though the documentation is rather obtuse and in serious need of examples of how to accomplish simple things. However, I can't get the DrawingArea to actually show up on the screen. I just get a blank window. Here's a reduced test case. Can someone tell me what's wrong w/ it and/or provide minimal example code to get stuff drawn via DrawingArea to show up on screen? import gtk.DrawingArea, gtk.Main, gtk.MainWindow, gdk.GC, gdk.Drawable, gdk.Color; void main(string[] args) { Main.init(args); auto win = new MainWindow("Hello, world"); win.setDefaultSize(800, 600); auto drawingArea = new DrawingArea(800, 600); win.add(drawingArea); drawingArea.realize(); auto drawable = drawingArea.getWindow(); auto gc = new GC(drawable); gc.setForeground(new Color(255, 0, 0)); gc.setBackground(new Color(255, 255, 255)); drawable.drawLine(gc, 0, 0, 100, 100); drawingArea.showAll(); drawingArea.queueDraw(); win.showAll(); Main.run(); }
