Thanks, Michael. Just one more follow-up question. Is there other way to get the "GdkDrawable" (here da2) without using <<- or other assignment operation from within expose_fn? I thought da$GetRootWindow() would work, but it does not.
da <- gtkDrawingArea() da2 <- NULL expose_fn <- function(widget,event,...){ img <- gdkPixbufNewFromFile("/media/wind/Pictures/kaehatu.jpg")$retval da2 <<-widget[["window"]] gdkDrawPixbuf(da2, gc = NULL, pixbuf=img, event[["area"]][["x"]], event[["area"]][["y"]], event[["area"]][["x"]], event[["area"]][["y"]], event[["area"]][["width"]], event[["area"]][["height"]]) return(FALSE) } gSignalConnect(da,"expose-event",expose_fn) w<-gtkWindow(show=F) w$SetSizeRequest(400,300) w$Add(da) w$Show() dgc <- gdkGCNew(da2) gdkGCSetLineAttributes(dgc, line.width=2, line.style="solid","round","round") gdkDrawRectangle(da2,dgc,FALSE,10,10,100,100) Ronggui 2009/5/23 Michael Lawrence <mflaw...@fhcrc.org>: > > > On Fri, May 22, 2009 at 11:27 PM, Ronggui Huang <ronggui.hu...@gmail.com> > wrote: >> >> Dear all, >> >> I use gtkImageFromFile to display an image.
