Re: Ruler Class in GTK+ 3
This is really unfortunate, my application also has a ruler... GTK is really moving away from its users, C none. GtkRuler was deprecated in GTK+ 2.x and removed in GTK+ 3.x. it's a*very* niche widget, and most applications that use one in their UI ended up having their own class. my suggestion is to look at ruler widgets in GIMP and Inkscape. if you want to draw your own, you can use a GtkDrawingArea subclass with a custum draw() virtual function. ciao, Emmanuele. ___ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list

This is what I did when porting to gtk+-3 https://github.com/Buzztrax/buzztrax/blob/master/src/ui/edit/signal-analysis-dialog.c#L552-615 there is a 2nd with a log scale in the same file.

Ruler Class in GTK+ 3
Hi I am trying to add ruler to my application based on GTK+ 3. A class namely is available in GTK2. I havebeen trying to find a class serving the purpose of ruler in GTK+ 3.
