W ith a few years delay, I finally got around to porting the dovtk-lasso example to gtk3. It is available from:
https://github.com/dov/dovtk-lasso/tree/gtk3 The included test-dovtk-lasso program draws some graphics and then allows creating and moving a semi-transparent caliper measuring tool on top of the graphics. It is completely flicker free even in full screen mode. Here is the including readme file: Description dovtk-lasso is a general framework for doing interactive overlay selections annotations in gtk. See the file test-dovtk-lasso.c for an example of how to use. It draws a caliper like measurement device. Usage To use dovtk-lasso a callback function with the following signature has to be created: typedef void (*DovtkLassoDrawing)(cairo_t *cr, DovtkLassoContext Context, gpointer user_data); The variable Context defines one of the three modes that this function is used for: DOVTK_LASSO_CONTEXT_PAINT - The function will be used for drawing the overlay graphics. DOVTK_LASSO_CONTEXT_MASK - The function will be used for creation of a low resolution mask. When in this mode the color shouldn't be changed, but has already been set up by gtk lasso. DOVTK_LASSO_CONTEXT_LABEL - Used to drawing label areas that may be used for picking and moving. E.g. a caliper may have a left, a right and a center area. To start using a lasso, first create a lasso instance on any gtk widget and pass the lasso draw function as a variable: lasso = dovtk_lasso_create(w_draw, &my_lasso_draw, user_data); Create button-press, button-release, and motion_event callbacks an use these to create and interact with an existing overlay. In the button-press callback the label of the pixel may be queried to get information of what area should be moved: pixel_label = dovtk_lasso_get_label_for_pixel(lasso, event->x, event->y); If the graphics of the overlay should be changed e.g. by the button_press or the motion_event callbacks, dovtk_lasso should be informed by doing: dovtk_lasso_update(lasso); Regards, Dov
