Let's say I have a class which extends DrawingArea, and in the class, I have
declared:
Cairo::RefPtr<Cairo::Context> gfx;
and in a method of the class (I do this in: on_expose_event), I instantiate
gfx:
gfx=this->get_window()->create_cairo_context();
Now, I want to use that specific graphics context in other methods (all
within the same scope as gfx). This doesn't seem to be a problem (i.e. the
context collects the data I give it) until I call gfx->stroke(); at which
point my program crashes, with this error:
glibmm-ERROR **:
unhandled exception (type std::exception) in signal handler:
what: <unknown error status>
For example, the following method generates an error when it's run the
second time (the same method being run a second time might as well be a
different method - the result is the same, anyway):
bool Canvas::on_expose_event(GdkEventExpose * event)
{
//get dimensions
Gtk::Allocation allocation = get_allocation();
int width = allocation.get_width();
int height = allocation.get_height();
if(!gfx)
{
gfx = this->get_window()->create_cairo_context();
std::cout<<"creating new graphics context\n";
//white rectangle
gfx->set_source_rgb(1.0, 1.0, 1.0);
gfx->move_to(0.0,0.0);
gfx->line_to(0.0, height);
gfx->line_to(width, height);
gfx->line_to(width, 0.0);
gfx->close_path();
gfx->fill_preserve();
gfx->stroke();
}
gfx->stroke();
}
Is what I'm trying even possible or am I going to have to generate a new
graphics context and stroke() for every method?
