Re: GTK window winthout main iterator

2018-09-04 Thread James Cameron
Add your logic to a function given to glib_idle_add(), and to trigger
new drawings call queue_draw and then return from your function.  GTK+
will call your draw signal handler.  As soon as GTK+ is idle again,
your function will be called again.

It isn't the usual way of doing things, but it will work.

Re: PyGObject: pep8 konform

2018-06-01 Thread James Cameron
Code that uses PyGObject can't be PEP8 conformant without generating
version warnings.  My practice is to minimise E402 by moving imports,
then add .flake8 file with;

[flake8]

# E402 module level import not at top of file
# gi.require_version() is required before later imports

ignore = E402

Re: Using a TextView as a sort of Hbox with wrapping

2014-01-26 Thread James Tappin
Chris,
  If I interpret what you are trying to do correctly (not necessarily a
given), then I would have thought that GtkScrolledWindow (possibly in
conjunction with GtkViewport) would be the tool for the job.

 My application has a status bar which can have an arbitrary number of
 items added to it. Currently, I use an Hbox with no padding, which
 works fine as long as there aren't too many statusbar elements added;
 but if there are a lot, the tail starts wagging the dog, in that the
 size of the window becomes dictated by the status bar (which normally
 is supposed to be subtle, not intrusive/controlling). So I figured
 that wrapping elements onto another line of status bar would be a more
 useful way to lay them out, but that's really tricky. Enter TextView:
 it's a widget designed to handle wrapping, and it can have child
 widgets embedded in it.

 Here's some proof of concept code. (This is in Pike, so you may not be
 able to run it directly.)

 int main()
 {
 GTK2.setup_gtk();
 object
 buf=GTK2.TextBuffer(),view=GTK2.TextView(buf)-set_editable(0)-set_wrap_mode(GTK2.WRAP_WORD)-set_cursor_visible(0);
 view-modify_base(GTK2.STATE_NORMAL,GTK2.GdkColor(240,240,240));
 foreach (({Asdf asdf,Qwer qwer,Zxcv zxcv,Testing,
 testing,1, 2, 3, 4}),string x)
 {

 view-add_child_at_anchor(GTK2.Frame()-add(GTK2.Label(x))-set_shadow_type(GTK2.SHADOW_ETCHED_OUT),
 buf-create_child_anchor(buf-get_end_iter()));
 buf-insert(buf-get_end_iter(),  ,-1);
 }

 GTK2.Window(GTK2.WindowToplevel)-set_default_size(500,300)-add(GTK2.Vbox(0,0)
 -add(GTK2.Label(Blah blah blah, this\nhas lots and\nlots of
 content\n\nLorem ipsum dolor sit\namet))
 -pack_start(GTK2.Button(This sets the base width),0,0,0)
 -pack_start(view,0,0,0)
 )-show_all()-signal_connect(delete-event,lambda() {exit(0);});
 return -1;
 }

 Two questions.

 Firstly: Is this a really REALLY stupid thing to do? When I Googled
 for a wrapping layout manager, nothing mentioned this possibility, so
 I'm wondering if this is somehow fundamentally bad and I just haven't
 seen it.

 And secondly: The TextArea defaults to having a white background, but
 I want to use the window's default background. On my system, setting
 the color to (240,240,240) does that, but that means I'm explicitly
 setting a color, so it's going to be grey even if the UI theme
 specifies that a window's background should be vibrant orange. Is
 there a way to tell the TextView not to draw its background, or
 alternatively, a way to query the default background color for a
 window?

 Thanks in advance!

 Use a different renderer for each column. Then check in the edited signal

g_timeout handling, is this the best way?

2012-11-20 Thread James Tappin
I have a program that uses a g_timeout loop to control the display of a
sequence of plots (produced via plplot), and I need to be able to change
the delay between displaying the plots.

The method I am using is this:

   1. Use g_timeout_add_full to create the timeout, with the GSourceFunc as
   a routine that checks whether a termination flag has been set, and either
   displays the next frame and returns TRUE or just returns FALSE.
   2. Set up a GDestroyNotify function that checks if a restart flag is set
   and if it has then starts a new timeout loop.
   3. The callback that changes the speed, updates the delay and then sets
   both the termination and restart flags, so that on the next timeout call,
   the loop is destroyed and recreated with the new delay.

Is this the best way to do it or is there a more convenient way?

  g_value_init(gv, type);

custom widget theme change problem

2012-06-21 Thread James Morris
Hi,

I have a custom GTK widget which renders using Cairo. In the expose
callback gtk_widget_get_style is called to obtain colours to render
the widget with some theme consistency.

When a theme is changed (ie using gtk-chtheme) any of my custom
widgets that are visible are not updated. However, after switching to
a different notebook tab, I can see previously hidden instances of the
custom widget have been updated (switching notebook tabs back again
does not trigger update).

Can anyone give any pointers as to what might be happening?

Thanks,

I've found the culprit, or put another way, I've found what to comment
out to fix the problem.

In my custom_widget_realize callback it has the following code which
if I comment out the last three lines of, the problem resolves:

window = gtk_widget_get_parent_window (widget);
gtk_widget_set_window(widget, window);
g_object_ref (window);

style = gtk_widget_get_style(widget);
style = gtk_style_attach(style, window);
gtk_widget_set_style(widget, style);

It is code I updated from this old code (which won't compile with
GTK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED etc):

widget-window = gtk_widget_get_parent_window (widget);
g_object_ref (widget-window);
widget-style = gtk_style_attach (widget-style, widget-window);

This old code (which uses GDK rather than Cairo) doesn't have any
problem with theme changes... but without it the widgets aren't
updated after theme changes.

Scratching head..
James.

GtkFileChooser selection-changed signal emission on gtk_dialog_run()

2012-06-14 Thread James Morris
Hi,

I've got a problem with the selection-changed signal being emitted
as soon as gtk_dialog_run is called on a GtkFileChooserDialog. I tried
delaying connection of the callback until right before calling
gtk_dialog_run but there were still four calls (in a row AFAICT) to
the callback.

I am now using g_timeout_add as a work-around to delay connection of
the signal to my callback and thus prevent the four initial
selection-changed emissions activating the callback.

Is this normal? Is there a more standard way of doing this?

I'm using GTK 2.24.10 in 64bit Arch Linux.

To put this in context, it's for auto-previewing audio files.

The simple implementation causes an audio file to be previewed when
gtk_dialog_run is called* or when the current folder is changed in the
chooser. By using a dont_preview boolean and connecting the
current-folder-changed signal to a callback I can then use
g_timeout_add to cancel the dont_preview flag. The flag must be set
before gtk_dialog_run is called, and will always be set when the
folder is changed.

*provided the item initially selected in the chooser is an audio file.

 Is this normal? Is there a more standard way of doing this?

I'm guessing it is normal/standard and that work-a-rounds are
necessary if you want to do something like this.

 The reason for trying out with an explicit hbox is that the column headers

I'm puzzled as it doesn't do that in my RPN calculator stack and registers
display. This uses a list model (i.e. no sub-rows).  Here are the key bits
of code (in Fortran 2003 -- I'm not a C programmer).

The list creator function:

  function hl_gtk_listn_new(scroll, ncols, types, changed, data, multiple,
width, titles, height, swidth, align, ixpad, iypad, sensitive, 
tooltip, sortable, editable, colnos, edited, data_edited)
result(list)

type(c_ptr) :: list
type(c_ptr), intent(out) :: scroll
integer(kind=c_int), intent(in), optional :: ncols
integer(kind=type_kind), dimension(:), intent(in), optional :: types
 .
 .
 .
! Create the storage model
model = gtk_list_store_newv(ncols_all, c_loc(types_all))

! Create the list in the scroll box
scroll = gtk_scrolled_window_new(C_NULL_PTR, C_NULL_PTR)
call gtk_scrolled_window_set_policy(scroll, GTK_POLICY_AUTOMATIC, 
  GTK_POLICY_AUTOMATIC)
list = gtk_tree_view_new_with_model(model)
call gtk_container_add(scroll, list)
  .
  .
  .

And in the calculator itself:

  ! Registers.
  jbase = hl_gtk_box_new()
  idx = hl_gtk_notebook_add_page(mstabs, jbase, 
label=Registers//c_null_char)
  fmemory = hl_gtk_listn_new(smemory, changed=c_funloc(memsel), 
height=300, titles= (/ Index//c_null_char, Value//c_null_char
/), 
types = (/ g_type_int, g_type_double /))
  call hl_gtk_listn_set_cell_data_func(fmemory, memcol, 
func=c_funloc(show_list), data=c_loc(memcol))
  call hl_gtk_box_pack(jbase, smemory)

I hope that this will at least give some clues as to how the bits fit
together.

P.S. hl_gtk_* routines are Fortran routines that bundle settings together
and use Fortran's optional argument system to hide much of the complexity
of the raw gtk_* calls.

Multiple selections in list/treeview widgets and accelerator groups?

2012-06-01 Thread James Tappin
Is it possible that having an accelerator group associated with the
top-level window of a hierarchy could prevent multiple selections in a list
widget within that window from working?

I have an application that is supposed to have multiple selections enabled
(gtk_tree_selection_set_mode(selection, GTK_SELECTION_MULTIPLE) has been
called on the selection object associated with the treeview). But when I do
a control-click or shift-click on the list nothing happens [I don't expect
Ctrl-A to work as that is bound to a button]. The only significant
difference I can see from a demo program that does work is that the
top-level window has an accelerator group in the application and not in the
demo.

 G_CALLBACK(plot_select_event), p);

and get the plot_select_event() routine to calculate and set new canvas
sizes with

gtk_plot_canvas_set_size(GTK_PLOT_CANVAS(p-canvas), width, height);

then call gtk_widget_queue_resize(GTK_WIDGET(p-table));

This causes plot_expose_event() to get called, which calls
gtk_plot_canvas_paint(GTK_PLOT_CANVAS(canvas));

But the table rows seem to expand to the largest canvas and don't seem to
take on variable heights.

Feel I've been around and around the mulberry bush on this ;-)
 


Hard to say whats going on here, I wonder who is responding
to the size requests for these items which are getting drawn.

It seems you connect to a signal to draw on a widget, which
means the content is not the widget, so probably you need
to also connect a signal to override the size request of the
said widget you intend painting onto ?

Perhaps you are using forced size requests to accomplish
this (using gtk_widget_set_size_request() or such), and
have somehow mixed up the size requests while swapping
your content onto new rows/columns ?

Other than that, child 'expand' properties will be considered
by the GtkTable (if all children can expand, then it's quite
possible that after reaching a large window size the content
will be evenly  spread).
   
Thanks for your ideas.  I had another.  I could define the table as 
having twice as many rows, then (hopefully) just reassigning the attach 
points.  I.e. where I now have;


gtk_table_attach_defaults(table1, canvas1, 0, 1, 0, 1);
gtk_table_attach_defaults(table1, canvas2, 0, 1, 1, 2);
gtk_table_attach_defaults(table1, canvas3, 0, 1, 2, 3);

instead I'll define a 6 row table and initialise as;

gtk_table_attach_defaults(table1, canvas1, 0, 1, 0, 2);
gtk_table_attach_defaults(table1, canvas2, 0, 1, 2, 4);
gtk_table_attach_defaults(table1, canvas3, 0, 1, 4, 6);

Then to zoom canvas2, I can hopefully somehow move the attachment points to;

gtk_table_attach_defaults(table1, canvas1, 0, 1, 0, 1);
gtk_table_attach_defaults(table1, canvas2, 0, 1, 1, 5);
gtk_table_attach_defaults(table1, canvas3, 0, 1, 5, 6);

I'd obviously need to fix the row size by making the table homogeneous.

What do you think?

James.

Unfortunately, you are facing much more problems.

For start

gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(window1), vbox1);

is called with an unitialised variable window1 (i.e. no window1 is ever 
created).  This leads to a CRITICAL message to console and/or crash.

And if window1 existed then vbox1 would be packed into two different containers 
(window1 and window) which is not possible.  So I'm ignoring that part 
altogether.

The callback should look like

void
callback_it(GtkWidget *button, gpointer user_data) {
   ...
}

where in user_data the callback receives the last argument you passed to 
g_signal_connect().  It is rarely useful to pass a constant such as Call 
there.

The callback is *not* another main() function; it should *not* call
gtk_init() again, etc.  Please read the signals section in the Gtk+ tutorial

http://developer.gnome.org/gtk-tutorial/2.90/x159.html

There are several other highly suspicious things:
- redeclaration of global variables (such as window) inside a function;
  are you aware this creates a new local variable window that has nothing
  to do with the global one?
- inclusion of .c files instead of separate compilation + linking them
  together
- calling gtk_widget_show() on individual widgets and then again showing
  everything using gtk_widget_show_all()
- not terminating the Gtk+ main loop when the main window is destroyed;
  this is usually the first thing to set up in a Gtk+ program, see

http://developer.gnome.org/gtk-tutorial/2.90/c39.html#SEC-HELLOWORLD

etc.

 1) The problem is evry time I click the button main, a new window 
 appears(obviously). What I want to achive is, if the window is already 
 present, it should not open again; rather it should focus that window. 
 I believe, this can be achived by gtk_window_present(may be I am wrong).
 But I don't know how to use it.

You use it just by calling gtk_window_present() on the window object.
To that meaningfully you need not only to keep the window object around but 
also get notified when the window is destroyed.  Either by connecting to the 
destroy signal or, if you just want to set a pointer to NULL once it is gone, 
by using g_object_add_weak_pointer().

 2) In the callback function, I have C_1 and C_2. What I want to achive 
 is Csub1/sub etc via pango(or any other).

For simple things you can sometimes just use UTF-8.  But generally, you need to 
use Pango markup.  If the widget does not have function to set the markup it 
has a function to obtain the label widget so that you can use 
gtk_label_set_markup() on that.

See the attached code with main problems fixed (and merged to one file).
Please go through the Gtk+ tutorial farther that you perhaps have done.

GtkTable cells resizing

2012-05-14 Thread James Steward

Hi,

I have an application with a tabbed view.  On two tabs I have a table, 
one is a 2x2 table, the other a 3x1 table (3 rows).


In each cell is a canvas that has a gtk plot.

I want to be able to click one of the plots in the 3x1 table and change 
the canvas size to 2/3 the original, with the other two canvases being 
1/6 the original size.


After redrawing and resizing and mucking about, I can't get the table 
rows to be different sizes, accommodating the different sized canvases 
properly, even though I have gtk_table_set_homogeneous (table, FALSE);


Any clues how to do this?

If so, use GtkGrid instead... possibly just that will fix things for you.

Short of that, if I understand correctly, you have a target state/configuration
of a GtkTable (or GtkGrid), if you construct the table in the target
configuration
from scratch, I take it things work as you want... but dont work properly
after performing some kind of a transformation to reach your target
state...
   

That's about it.

... perhaps it's worth trying an extra call to gtk_widget_queue_resize()
after modifying your table.
   


I'm trying that.   I have signals connected thus;

g_signal_connect(G_OBJECT(p-canvas), expose-event,
 G_CALLBACK(plot_expose_event), p);

g_signal_connect(G_OBJECT(p-canvas), select-item,
 G_CALLBACK(plot_select_event), p);

and get the plot_select_event() routine to calculate and set new canvas 
sizes with


gtk_plot_canvas_set_size(GTK_PLOT_CANVAS(p-canvas), width, height);

then call gtk_widget_queue_resize(GTK_WIDGET(p-table));

This causes plot_expose_event() to get called, which calls 
gtk_plot_canvas_paint(GTK_PLOT_CANVAS(canvas));


But the table rows seem to expand to the largest canvas and don't seem 
to take on variable heights.

Trouble with button mask

Upon left clicking inside a plot canvas, I can see that

  gdk_window_get_pointer(widget-window, NULL, NULL, mods);

OK: I think I've figured it. The problem is/was that since the pointer was
not normally inside the monitor window when the cursor change was made AND
there was no event polling during the read, the cursor was stuck in what
ever state it entered the window.

Since other parts of the program use openmp for parallel DO loops, I've put
a parallel section so that one thread polls events while the other does the
reads.

Thanks for all the comments, they did help getting me thinking down the

Subject: Making a cursor (cross hair) track between image displays

Hi GTK+ application developers!

I have developed an application using gtkmm in which I display related images 
in multiple Gtk::Window's.

I have two types of display images.  One is based on Gtk::Image and the other 
is based on Gtk::DrawingArea.
For the Gtk::Image case I add the Gtk::Image to a Gtk::EventBox, which in turn 
I add to a Gtk::ScrolledWindow.
For the Gtk::DrawingArea, is directly add the Gtk::DrawingArea to a 
Gtk::ScrolledWindow (without the intervening Gtk::EventBox).

When the image sizes exceed the ScrolledWindow display area, I use the 
Gtk::Adjustment associated with each Gtk::ScrolledWindow to have the 
pan-scrolling of each window track each other.

When I place the cursor in one of the display images, I would like to have a 
cross hair appear at the cursor location of the window in which the cursor is 
placed at the location currently pointed to by the cursor. I would ALSO like to 
have a similar cross hair appear in each of the other associated display images.

How can I make this happen with GTK+/gtkmm? I've looked for examples of this 
and haven't found any. Can anyone point me in the right direction for 
implementing this feature in my application?

(In my current application, the normal arrow cursor appears in just one window, 
and if I hold the either the left or right mouse button down, I have the column 
and row location and image data value(s) appear in text below the Scrolled 
Window image display.)

Getting the busy cursor to display.

2012-04-10 Thread James Tappin
I have a gtk (fortran) application that displays a progress monitor while
computing, and I would like to display the busy cursor while the program is
reading a large data file.

Right now what I have is:

To define the busy cursor and GDK window (module [global] variables).

   draw_window = gtk_widget_get_window(window)
   busy_cursor = gdk_cursor_new_for_display(gdk_display_get_default(), 
 GDK_WATCH)

and then to activate/deactivate it:

 ! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
 ! Set a busy cursor on the progress monitor (for reading the database)
 subroutine set_monitor_busy(is_busy)
   logical, intent(in) :: is_busy

   if (is_busy) then
  call gdk_display_sync(gdk_display_get_default())
  call gdk_window_set_cursor(draw_window, busy_cursor)
  call gdk_display_sync(gdk_display_get_default())
   else
  call gdk_display_sync(gdk_display_get_default())
  call gdk_window_set_cursor(draw_window, NULL)
  call gdk_display_sync(gdk_display_get_default())
   end if
 end subroutine set_monitor_busy

The just before I start to read the big file I have:
  call set_monitor_busy(.TRUE.)

and after reading:
 call set_monitor_busy(.FALSE.)

However, even with both gdk_display_sync calls as shown, sometimes the busy
cursor appears and sometimes it doesn't (in fact sometimes the whole window
shows blank until after the file read). The commonest case is that the
monitor window renders but still keeps the regular cursor.

Is there some other call (or calls) I should be making to force the updates
to take place?

Hi GTK+ application developers:

As it often happens, the inquirer often answers his own question. I finally 
found clear enough example of something similar in gtkmm 3 and through a little 
trial and error found the solution. Here it is for gtkmm 3:

  Glib::RefPtr Gdk::Window ref_Gdk_window = get_window();
  Glib::RefPtrGdk::Cursor display_cursor = 
Gdk::Cursor::create(ref_Gdk_window-get_display(), Gdk::CROSSHAIR);
  ref_Gdk_window-set_cursor(display_cursor);

Now, to complete my application, I just need to draw a cursor clone 
(crosshair) at the corresponding location in the associated gtkmm windows.

Add an event handler to the eventbox and listen for GDK_MOTION_NOTIFY.

You need to use gtk_widget_add_events() and turn on motion events with

GDK_POINTER_MOTION_MASK, gtk will not deliver motion events to windows

by default to try to cut down on unnecessary signalling.



(gtk used to support motion event compression, where it would just

report the most recent position rather than all positions since the

last event delivery, but I think this has been deprecated ... perhaps

an expert knows)



Once you have a motion events, use motion.x and motion.y to get the

mouse position, map this to image space, then map out to the

coordinate space for your other image windows. On those other

displays, draw a floating crosshair at the right spot.



My program does something like this, you're welcome to look at the

source if it might help. Though it's a large, hairy thing and perhaps

not a clear example.

Making a cursor (cross hair) track between image displays

2012-04-02 Thread Tilton, James C. (GSFC-6063)
Hi GTK+ application developers!

I have developed an application using gtkmm in which I display related images 
in multiple Gtk::Window's.

I have two types of display images.  One is based on Gtk::Image and the other 
is based on Gtk::DrawingArea.
For the Gtk::Image case I add the Gtk::Image to a Gtk::EventBox, which in turn 
I add to a Gtk::ScrolledWindow.
For the Gtk::DrawingArea, is directly add the Gtk::DrawingArea to a 
Gtk::ScrolledWindow (without the intervening Gtk::EventBox).

When the image sizes exceed the ScrolledWindow display area, I use the 
Gtk::Adjustment associated with each Gtk::ScrolledWindow to have the 
pan-scrolling of each window track each other.

When I place the cursor in one of the display images, I would like to have a 
cross hair appear at the cursor location of the window in which the cursor is 
placed at the location currently pointed to by the cursor. I would ALSO like to 
have a similar cross hair appear in each of the other associated display images.

How can I make this happen with GTK+/gtkmm? I've looked for examples of this 
and haven't found any. Can anyone point me in the right direction for 
implementing this feature in my application?

(In my current application, the normal arrow cursor appears in just one window, 
and if I hold the either the left or right mouse button down, I have the column 
and row location and image data value(s) appear in text below the Scrolled 
Window image display.)

Thanks.

Trouble with TreeView

2012-03-21 Thread James Steward

Hi All,

I've built a TreeModel by creating a new TreeStore, and populating it with;

for (rp = parent; rp; rp = rp-next) {
gtk_tree_store_append(store, iter, NULL);
gtk_tree_store_set(store, iter,
0, rp-number, -1);

for (ep = rp-child; ep; ep = ep-next) {
gtk_tree_store_append(store, child, iter);
gtk_tree_store_set(store, child,
0, ep-number,
1, ep-name,
2, ep-mean,
3, ep-std_dev,
-1);
}
}

Then created a new view, associated the model with it, and inserted columns.

I add the view to a scrolled window, which is in turn added to a dialog 
content area.


When I display the dialog, the tree is not quite what I expect.

In the first row (0), the values for name, mean and std_dev have not 
been defined, yet the mean and std_dev (which are floats) are shown as 
0.00.  I don't want them to be displayed at all.


So to clarify, the first part of the tree looks like

 1 |  |  0.00  |  0.00
  5 |  Fu Bar  |  0.345123  |  0.051234
  3 |  Snafu   |  0.765432  |  0.145678

Is there a way to suppress the display of some columns that don't make 
sense for the parent node, I.e. columns 1, 2, 3 in row 0?


Regards,
James.

An issue with Qt styling and/or threads?

2012-02-17 Thread James Tappin
I have a problem running a Gtk program when using the Qt style as
supplied via gtk-qt-engine and kde-config-gtk-style.

The program is a fairly heavy duty computation that uses openmp for
parallel computation and has a gtk progress monitor (which is updated
from within a critical section so it can never be accessed by more
than one thread at a time). When the Qt style is selected, the
progress bars (gtk_progress_bar) are corrupted and the errors below
are displayed repeatedly:

(th_run:2015): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixmap_foreign_new_for_display:
assertion `(anid != 0)' failed

(th_run:2015): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_draw_drawable: assertion
`GDK_IS_DRAWABLE (src)' failed

(th_run:2015): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion
`G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
QPixmap: It is not safe to use pixmaps outside the GUI thread
QPixmap: It is not safe to use pixmaps outside the GUI thread
QPainter::begin: Paint device returned engine == 0, type: 2
QPixmap: It is not safe to use pixmaps outside the GUI thread
QPainter::end: Painter not active, aborted

The problem does not occur with other Gtk style settings (e.g. Nuvola).
I'm not sure if the problem is with the Qt wrapper, Gtk+ or my code.

FWIW I'm running Debian stable, with Gtk+ 2.20.

Any ideas?

Re: how to use hbox?

2011/12/11 Gary Kline kl...@thought.org:
        can somebody help me figure out how to pack the buttons

It should be as simple as:
make the vbox
put the various items in it, including the hbox
put the increase  decrease buttons in the hbox.

That certainly works in one of the example codes in gtk-fortran
(hl_containers.f90).

[An alternative might be to use a 2xn table and make most of the items
span 2 columns.]

Alignment of markup labels in menu items

2011-11-30 Thread James Tappin
I'm trying to add the capability to add a label formatted with Pango
markup to buttons and menu items in the high-level interface to
gtk-fortran.

While the following is successful in producing subscripts in labels
when the markup flag is set, there is a problem with alignment: while
a plain text label is correctly centred in the pulldown menu, a markup
label begins at the centre (even if it does not actually include any
markup).

      if (markup) then
         item=gtk_menu_item_new()
         label_w=gtk_label_new(label)
         call gtk_label_set_markup(label_w, label)
         call gtk_container_add(item,label_w)
      else
         item = gtk_menu_item_new_with_label(label)
      end if

Am I missing something, or is that a fundamental limitation?

I'm using Gtk+-3.2.0, in Ubuntu 11.10, with gcc  gfortran 4.6.1.

Append to list store doesn't get all column attributes

2011-07-27 Thread James
Hi,

(Sorry if this appears twice.  I sent it from the wrong address earlier.)

In a dialog with a scrolled window displaying a list, with one column in
the view, where the cells are editable;

gtk_tree_view_insert_column_with_attributes (GTK_TREE_VIEW (view),
-1,
Name,
renderer,
text, 0,
editable, TRUE,
NULL);


A button in the dialog allows the user to add to the list with;

gtk_list_store_append(store, iter);
gtk_list_store_set(store, iter,
0, New,
1, 0, 
-1);

p = gtk_tree_model_get_path(model, iter);
c = gtk_tree_view_get_column(GTK_TREE_VIEW (view), 0);
gtk_tree_view_scroll_to_cell(GTK_TREE_VIEW (view), p, NULL, FALSE, 0.0,
0.0);
gtk_tree_view_set_cursor(GTK_TREE_VIEW (view), p, c, TRUE);
gtk_widget_grab_focus (view);

The item New is indeed appended to the list, and it scrolls to the
correct cell, however New is not editable, and no matter what I've
tried, I can't make it editable.

Can anyone offer a clue as to why?

 Here you add a row with (New, 0) to the list - whatever the
 intention of the second column, the tree view will use it to determine
 whether the cell should be editable, and given that 0 == FALSE, it
 won't be :-)
 
 If you want all cells to be editable, the easiest way is to call
 
   g_object_set (renderer, editable, TRUE, NULL);
 
 when setting up the tree view (assuming that you are using a

 call to set the second column to TRUE would work as well ...

Yup, all fixed now.  Thanks, Florian.

Re: Making widgets visible outside their containing window

2011-07-13 Thread James Morris
2011/7/13 Felix H. Dahlke f...@ubercode.de:
 Thanks for your answers. I did fool around with a popup, but it would
 also overlap other windows, transient or not. Furthermore, I need it to
 move relative to the window if that is moved.

 Maybe it's best if I tell you what I'm trying to do in particular:
 I'm working on something like a tooltip. However, I don't think I can
 use normal tooltips, since I need to position it manually (actually, I
 need it to move out of the way if the mouse cursor approaches it).

 A popup sounds like the right way to do this, but I need to somehow wire
 the popup's movement to the window's movement. Is there an easy way to
 do that?

Take a look at PHAT fan sliders. These are sliders which
vertical-mouse-movement brings up a fan through which the user gains
more precision in the slider position. The fans are not bounded by any
window the widget is associated with. There might be some pointers in
there for how to do what you want, but note it's unmaintained code by
now, and also contains some deprecated code.

gobject and gtk_widget_set_sensitive

The problem might be to do with floating versus fixed references. GTK
will usually unreference the images once it thinks they're finished
with - ie when you change the icon, it will think you no longer wish
to use the previous icon.

Try calling g_object_ref_sink on all of the widget icons once you've
created them, and then g_object_unref after you're done.

Cairo, Gtk+, Gdk GdkPixbuf -- making a pixel-based backing store for vector graphics

2011-06-14 Thread James Tappin
I would like to be able to make a code that draws some (possibly very
complex) vector graphics, copies it to an off-screen backing store and
then when an expose-event (Gtk2) or draw signal (Gtk3) is received,
the backing store is copied to the screen rather than doing a complete
redraw of all the vectors which could potentially take several
seconds. Unfortunately all the potential model codes I've been able to
find use the obsolete Gdk Pixmap as backing store.

Likewise the routine that looks promising
gdk_pixbuf_render_to_drawable () is marked as deprecated (since 2.4)
and suggests gdk_draw_pixbuf () as an alternative. However that is
also marked deprecated (since 2.22) and recommends
gdk_cairo_set_source_pixbuf() and cairo_paint() or cairo_rectangle()
and cairo_fill() but it is not at all clear how to combine those
routines to produce the required effect.

I have searched many times for suitable examples and come up empty. So
does anybody here have any suggestions, examples or link that provide
pointers to the following operations?:

1) Getting cairo to draw to a pixmap or pixbuf, or draw to a window
and then copy the resulting window contents to an in-memory storage.

2) Making the expose handler copy that pixbuf (or whatever) to the
visible window (while only copying the affected region  would be the
best option I can live with copying the whole window).

3) (Less important for now) Adding new material to the plot and
updating the backing store -- my guess is that once I crack 1  2 then
3 will be fairly obvious.

 A better place for asking may be the cairo mailing list? At least there
 was some discussion about such tasks in the past. One recommended way
 was using cairos create_similar() function for creating the backup
 surface. I did a small demo in Ruby some time ago, see

 http://www.ssalewski.de/PetEd-Demo.html.en

 I found this related thread with some helpful replies:

 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/cairo/2009-March/016756.html



It looks as if this example:
http://www.gtkforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=5204, may at least provide
part of the answer to (1) in my original posting -- I'm still trying
to disentangle the housekeeping and the real logic, to figure exactly
what it does.

Well, that didn't seem to work very well.  In the meantime I've found 
the answer.  I had these properties set on the main window.

property name=window_positioncenter-always/property
property name=default_width1024/property

Removing them and the window maximizes properly.  The hint came from bug 
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=587591 .   Hope this helps 
someone else.

GdkEvent question (is it a bug?)

2011-05-11 Thread James Tappin
While working on a script to convert the GdkEvent structures to
Fortran derived types for the GtkFortran project I came across the
following

struct _GdkEventClient
{
  GdkEventType type;
  GdkWindow *window;
  gint8 send_event;
  GdkAtom message_type;
  gushort data_format;
  union {
char b[20];
short s[10];
long l[5];
  } data;
};

This looks to me like a 32-bit-specific construct as (a) there's no
int type and (b) on a 64-bit system the long tag in the union will be
twice as long as the short  char tags, should this be regarded as a
bug?

Also, since Fortran's iso_c_binding does not have any support for
unions so any attempt to include this will be at best a kludge, is
this an important event ?

gtk_tree_view_column query.

2011-03-17 Thread James Tappin
Hello,
  I'm working on some aspects of gtk-fortran (an interface of GTK+ to
Fortran95/2003), and so need to implement things without using varargs
routines. However I'm getting unexpected behaviours. I don't think the
problem is in the Fortran interface as I can reproduce the errors in
C-examples.

The first is in setting up the column attributes, the original C code was:

  column = gtk_tree_view_column_new_with_attributes(#, renderer,
  text, 0, NULL);

Which if I interpret the manual correctly ought to be replaceable by:
column = gtk_tree_view_column_new();
gtk_tree_view_column_set_title(column, #);
gtk_tree_view_column_add_attribute(column, renderer, 
  text, 0);

But the latter gives an assertion error:
(list1:6044): Gtk-CRITICAL **:
gtk_tree_view_column_cell_layout_add_attribute: assertion `info !=
NULL' failed


The second comes when trying to add a value to a column, the original was:
gtk_list_store_set(store,iter, 0, nrow, -1); /* The index column */

Which (again if I'm interpreting the manual right) should be equivalent to:
gtk_list_store_set_value(store, iter, 0, (Gvalue *) nrow);

but instead the latter gives a segfault
0x755effc9 in type_check_is_value_type_U (value=0x7fffdcac)
at /build/buildd/glib2.0-2.26.1/gobject/gtype.c:4073


Does anybody see a grave error in interpreting the manual or is there
a real problem with some of these routines?

 I am trying to make the Pause button flash (or show any similar behaviour

Alternating between two different stock items is quite easy when you
know how, but I had to ask here for help.
If you have two images,

--8---
img1 = gtk_image_new_from_stock( GTK_STOCK_MEDIA_PLAY,
GTK_ICON_SIZE_SMALL_TOOLBAR);
img2 = gtk_image_new_from_stock( GTK_STOCK_MEDIA_STOP,
GTK_ICON_SIZE_SMALL_TOOLBAR);

 /* convert img1 and img2 from floating references which
are deleted when no longer in use, to a normal reference.
this prevents either of the images being deleted when we
swap the play/stop button images. unref'd after gtk_main.
*/
g_object_ref_sink(img1);
g_object_ref_sink(img2);
--8---

then in your idle callback simply use gtk_button_set_image,
alternating between the two images every time the function is called
(ie you could use a static gboolean to track which button to show each
time).

then once gtk_main returns:
--8---
gtk_main();

/* free the play  stop images */
g_object_unref(img1);
g_object_unref(img2);
--8---

 This property will not be available in the init function (e.g.

 object can be used by the outside world, you can do that by overriding
 the GObject constructed function like you do with finalize or
 get_property. In constructed, the construct and construct-only
 properties will be set and you can do something with them.


Anyway, thanks for making an effort to help.  I think the only way
anyone could provide any further help here would be to show me an
example that works using a const char ** null terminated list of c
strings as a parameter to the constructor.

I will most likely avoid GObject all together and do it the old
fashioned C way as this only seems to be making it more complex than
necessary.

newbie question about g_object unref()

2010-11-18 Thread N James Bridge
It seems that g_object_unref (ptr) doesn't set ptr to NULL when it frees
the allocated memory. Have I got something wrong here? Do I have to do
it explicitly?

Thanks, James Bridge

bug in Cairo or Gtk - peculiar behaviour on resizing or exposing window

2010-11-14 Thread N James Bridge
I am hoping someone will have the time to look at this. I have been
developing a gtk/cairo program to draw views of the Mandelbrot set. I
wanted to show how the usual iteration progressed for an arbitrary
starting point; it worked but occasionally seemed to misbehave. Below is
a cut-back version which illustrates the problem. A left click with the
mouse sets a starting point which behaves correctly; a right click sets
a nearby point which produces a very similar figure but which
misbehaves. To see this first try resizing the window - for some sizes
it is drawn correctly but for others not. With a bad version, slide
another window in front and then away to the side, when the picture is
redrawn correctly. Then try minimising it and restoring it, which makes
it go wrong again.
I am using gtk2-2.22.0-1.fc14.1.x86_64, cairo-1.10.0-2.fc14.x86_64 and
gcc-4.5.1-4.fc14.x86_64

So, first: have I done something wrong (probably in draw_iter())?

If not, is there a bug in gtk or gdk or cairo ?

Many thanks for any help

of these made no difference. I also added some printf statements to

in the first for loop, and the values of z.x and z.y after both loops
never changes other than when cc does. In other words, the drawing may
change, but z.x and z.y after both loops does not. The next thing I'd
try would be to run it through valgrind but I need to reboot to do

Thanks for input. I assume you did see the same error in drawing - some
areas inside the drawing come out solid black?

I will have to look up valgrind. All of this is a big learning exercise!

Valgrind sometimes spots initialization errors that just looking at

Valgrind with memcheck doesn't show anything in my code (lots of
possible leaks in gtk).

I have noticed that changing the constant 1.4 in draw_iter() makes a
difference, though all it should do is to shift the drawing up or down
in the window.

moving message on a gtk dialog

 Hi all,
 I was thinking of a application for showing moving message. In gtk is it

 Can any one suggest in this regard.
 *Regards,*

The simplest form would scroll the message string itself by placing
the first character of the message string at the end of the message
string and repeating. You'll need a few extra spaces at the end of the
message. Then you'll need an idle callback or timeout to call the
string scrolling routine and then to redisplay it as a label.

What about all the errors/warnings, have they gone, or do they still appear?
Did the errors appear the first time the dialog was opened, or only
when the dialog was re-opened?

Using gtk_widget_hide instead of gtk_widget_destroy is quite likely
only hiding the errors - the errors are still there and just waiting
to crash your code more seriously.

Take a look at the typical usage examples of the
GtkFileChooserDialog[1] in the documentation. If you still have

 I build it from glade file.  For  File/Open and  File/Save operation the
 filechooser dialog works fine  it brings up the file chooser dialog window

 Upon selecting or editing the default filename  the dialog disappears as

 The callback for menuitem to open/save    calls  open_dialog() and

 Can any one here suggest  me how do I implement( Desing gtk GUI) gtk app

obtaining current viewport/scrolled window dimensions

2010-09-22 Thread James Morris
Hi,

I have a GtkDrawingArea within a GtkViewport within a
GtkScrolledWindow. I need the viewport dimensions so I can center the
contents of the drawing area when the drawn contents are smaller than
the viewport/window. There is a vague mention of page_size in the
documentation for scrolled window but no other clues.

How do I get these dimensions please?

Sorry for the noise, I figured it out once I wrote the email and clicked send:

width = 
gtk_adjustment_get_page_size(gtk_scrolled_window_get_hadjustment(my_scrolled_window));

scrolled window adjustment 'changed' signal question

2010-09-22 Thread James Morris
Hi,

As from my previous email, I require the dimensions of the scrolled
window. I decided to detect when they change (due to the top level
window being resized) by using the 'changed' signal emitted by the
hadjustment and vadjustment respectively.

So I create two user functions one for when window width is changed,
and the other for when window height is changed. Using
g_signal_connect I connect the scrolled window's hadjustment and
vadjustments respectively (to the user functions).

The behaviour seems a little odd though: if I only change width OR
height (NOT both) then BOTH adjustments emit the 'changed' signal.

Is this supposed to happen like this?

(gtk version 2.20)

Thanks,
James.

Ok, I think I found the reason the darn thing wont print under windows.
It seems that because I have about 1 lines drawn in cairo onto the

Is there something I can do to improve the fuzzy lines?

Windows printing problem

2010-08-19 Thread James
Hi,

I have an app that prints 2 pages with an image in one corner of the
page, and some plotted data in the middle, the rest is text.

The page is oriented in landscape.

On Ubuntu the printing works fine.

On Windows XP I can get the text only to work.

Printing the image creates blank pages.

Printing the plotted data causes printing errors.

I'm using gtk+-bundle_2.18.7-20100213_win32

Any clues?

Code below.

Regards,
James.

pb = gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file(./Logo.jpg, gerror);
if(!pb) {
eprintf(error message: %s\n, gerror-message);
return;
}

Re: Windows printing problem

2010-08-19 Thread James
Hi,

I've refined the code a bit.

This I can print to PDF using pdfFactory Pro, and it is displayed in the
pdfFactory Pro preview window properly, but Windows always errors out on

Printing direct to the printer (HP laserjet) also causes windows to
report an error trying to print.

(The printer works fine for every other app on Windows and Ubuntu).

Re: Performance issues of GDK deprecation in favour of Cairo

 Hi,

 I see that some GDK drawing functions and graphics contexts have been
 deprecated in favour of using Cairo.

 Yesterday I spent a few hours *removing* Cairo code from my fledgling
 GTK application and replacing it with gdk_draw_rectangle,
 gdk_gc_set_rgb_fg_color, and gdk_gc_set_function. I did this for
 performance reasons[1]

 I am wondering if my approach to drawing is wrong however and if a
 better approach might yield less CPU usage?

 It begins with a 33ms timeout. The timeout callback calls
 gtk_widget_queue_draw on the window and the drawing area.


 Would it be possible to isolate this into a standalone demo. Or could
 you point us to the actual code?

Hi Stefan,

The actual code is here:
http://github.com/jwm-art-net/BoxySeq/blob/97f6d674a2a182a143ef82b03bde11689fedcf18/gui_grid.c

I'm probably not going to work on it for a while. Probably going to
make the back-end into a library first and then investigate the
possibility of using FLTK.

Cheers,
James.


 Stefan

 (Imagine rectangles appearing each time a note is played in a piece of
 music and disappearing when that note ends.)

 In the expose event callback a linked-list of rectangles is
 maintained. Rectangles are added to the list and removed from the list
 as notes start and end (The application is an experimental MIDI
 sequencer/arpeggiator operating in real time).

 Each and every time the expose event callback is called (every 33ms)
 the background and the entire list of rectangles is drawn as well as
 various maintenance functions performed on the list.

 The documentation of gdk_cairo_create seems to suggest this is the
 only way of doing it when it says:

 Note that due to double-buffering, Cairo contexts created in a GTK+
 expose event handler cannot be cached and reused between different
 expose events.

 Is it possible to do this any other way?
 Cheers,
 James.

 [1]My machine is a 64bit 3.0ghz dual core desktop. Using GDK for
 drawing, the CPU usage is at worst 5% on both cores. Using Cairo on
 the other hand, the CPU usage can reach as much as 20% on both cores.

Accessor function for application.width ?

2010-07-12 Thread N James Bridge
It's useful to blank out a drawing area by drawing a filled rectangle
with the same size as the window. The examples I have seen get the
dimensions from widget-allocation.width but Devhelp says that the
GtkAllocation structure is GSEALed. At present the method works but is
there an accessor function to use instead? I can't find one.

TIA

custom widgets - advice on where to start?

2010-07-07 Thread James Morris
Hi,

I need to create some complex widgets for my program. The first of
which is the main widget which will show static rectangles within
which other rectangles appear and disappear at musical rates (think
fast electronic dance music rates). The static rectangles may overlap
each other, but the other rectangles may not.

I'm working in C.

Can anyone recommend a good tutorial for this kind of thing?

I've looked over http://zetcode.com/tutorials/cairographicstutorial/
but it doesn't explain much about creating custom widgets, nor am I
sure if I should use Cairo or not. While I want the display to be
colourful and attractive, I also want lightweight resource
requirements and speed.

Thanks,
James.

That's the thing I'm unsure of, when to use a GtkDrawingArea and when
to use a custom widget.

I've never required anything beyond the standard widgets before now.
I'll look at the Cairo documentation.

Cheers,

 The official Cairo documentation (the tutorial is here:
 http://cairographics.org/tutorial/) and the Gtk documentation are
 probably good places to start.

drawing colored lines

2010-06-14 Thread N James Bridge
Hi all

I have been experimenting with GtkDrawingArea, drawing mathematical
functions. Can anyone tell me how to change the foreground color (to
red, say)? I want to do this in the program, not with the color chooser
widget. It's easy enough with Cairo but I can't figure out how to do it
with GDK. I've tried gdk_gc_set_rgb_fg_color () and can get it to
compile but the program then crashes.

 The settings under GNOME are in GConf's /desktop/gnome/interface/, the
 keys buttons_have_incons and menus_have_icons. You can change them with
 gconf-editor or using gconftool-2(1).

gtk_button_new_from_stock () does not find icons.

2010-06-04 Thread N James Bridge
I don't know if this is a fedora problem or a gtk one...

I have been writing some short gtk programs, as a learning exercise. So
far as I can see, I should be able to add items from stock, but the
images are missing and all I get are the default items as mnemonics. I
have attached a short example. It compiles with:
gcc  stock.c `pkg-config --cflags gtk+-2.0 --libs gtk+-2.0`

It seems that gtk can't find the directory with the images. The files
needed seem to be in /usr/share/icons/gnome and show up in the gtk-demo
program. However, Glade buttons selected from stock do not have the
icons either.

Any suggestions most welcome!

Building gtkmm for 64-bit Windows

2010-03-04 Thread Tilton, James C. (GSFC-6063)
I am attempting to build gtkmm for a computer with a 64-bit Windows 7 operating 
system.

For this attempt I am using the compiler from the mingw-w64 project (as a 
native compiler
for the Windows 7 system, in the msys environment).

It appears that I have been successful in building all the packages that gtkmm 
depends on
(libsigc++, glibmm, cairomm, and pangomm), and I used the all-in-one bundle 
from GTK+
(gtk+-bundle_2.16.6-20090912_win64.zip).

Configure runs for gtkmm with no complaint, and the make proceeds happily along 
for a long time,
but fails at a link statement near the end of the build.

Can anyone give me advice on what is causing this problem and how to solve it? 
Thanks!

Here is an abridged version of the terminal output:
