Haven't dealt with text processing for a while but there's a few ways: - generate the reports directly as TEX or postscript (TEX is hard to learn), - generate the reports in a word-processor and embed keywords in it, and save in TEX or postscript format as a canned file, then run sed or C regex lib commands to replace the keywords with your own end-user text. ___ gtk-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list

Aligning widgets adjacent to a drawing area...
I have an hbox divided into two side-by-side sections. In the left section I have a vertical list of gtk text entry boxes (serving as editable text labels) and in the right section I have a drawing area. What I'd like to do is to be able to draw "waveforms" or "traces" in the drawing area that line up with the text entry boxes (which form the labels for each trace). To get a rough idea of the sort of effect I'm after (although I should stress this is *not* what I'm trying to do as this is not using text boxes for the labels) take a look at: http://www.ind.uni-stuttgart.de/Content/HardwareDesignLab/vsim_small.gif In order to draw the "traces" on the right, I need to know the exact size of the text widgets. I can use gtk_widget_set_size_request() to force the size of the text box, but I'm worried that decorations and spacings and possible user resource file will make this value unreliable to use. What's the correct way to do this sort of thing? -- David J.

Linux Installation Problems
Hello. I'm attempting to instal php gtk 1.0.0 on a slackware 9.0 box (running kde). I downloaded the package, unpacked it, ran the ./buildconf (no problems), ran ./configure (no problems) ran make, problems. I get the following error message upon running make: Make[3]: *** [gen_piemenu.lo] Error 1 Make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/tesla/php-gtk-1.0.0/ext/piemenu' Make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 Make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/tesla/php-gtk-1.0.0/ext/piemenu' Make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 Make[1] Leaving directory `/usr/tesla/php-gtk-1.0.0/ext/' Make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 I have no idea what this means other than not good. It would be greatly appreciated if someone could give me a kick in the right direction! TIA!

Win32 modal dialog problem.
I've been having problems with modal dialogs on win32.
Specifically, if I have a modal dialog which in turn pops up a modal dialog then I find that the second dialog comes up behind the first dialog -- it gets the focus correctly and is indeed modal, but it is concealed by the original window.
Under linux everything works as expected :)
I can get the win32 version to work a little better by setting the original window to be non-modal before popping up the second modal dialog.
See attached pygtk code for a demonstration of the problem.
Is this a bug in the win32 version of gtk or am I doing something wrong?
