I do this by generating latex and using pdflatex to render PDF files.
PDF is handy because it gives you good control over paper size and
orientation. In perl it's something like:
print TEXSOURCE LATEX_END;
\\documentclass{article}
\\usepackage{times}
\\usepackage[none]{hyphenat}
\\usepackage[dvips=false,pdftex=false,vtex=false]{geometry}
\\geometry{
paperwidth=${poster_width}cm,
paperheight=${poster_height}cm,
margin=${inner_margin}cm,
noheadfoot
}
\\usepackage[width=${paper_width}cm,height=${paper_height}cm,center,pdftex]{crop}
\\usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx}
\\pagestyle{empty}
\\begin{document}
blah blah blah ${mystuff} etc
\\end{document}
LATEX_END
system pdflatex texsource cp texsource.pdf $output_dir/${file_name}.pdf;
I'm typsetting posters. If you're just generating A4 or US Letter you
can skip a lot of the pagesize/margin/rotate stuff.

Running GTK in non-default visual
Title: Running GTK in non-default visual Hi, I am on a project that is looking to use the wxWidgets toolkit for cross platform software development. wxWidgets uses GTK2 when running under Linux or HP-UX. On HP-UX our current application runs in an 8 bit visual. This is mainly because we are using overlay planes but also for performance reasons as well. Therefore if I run a GTK2 application on HP-UX, GTK, by default creates all its windows in the 8 bit visual. This leads to colour clash problems with our current app. Therefore I have hacked around with the code to make GTK apps run in the visual plane I want them to run in (i.e. 24 bit and TrueColor). If you are interested in how to do this then please drop me a line at I will mail you back the code changes. Obviously it would be nice if this sort of thing was built into GTK using the GTK resource files.

The problem is how to relate the positions of the widgets in the table to coordinates in the adjacent drawing area. It's not easy to explain :-) Oh, OK, I see. There's a single DrawingArea... Unless you can split it up, I think the best is to let GTK+ lay out the text labels and then check the allocation for the text widgets in your DrawingArea exposure handler (that is, at the time you actually do the drawing) for whatever position and size GTK+ has chosen for them. That way, you'd make sure that you don't interfere with font size, possible wrapping and other layout decisions taking place in the label column, possibly dynamically. I'd still put the DrawingArea into the table with a suitable row span. gtk_widget_translate_coordinates() with values from each of the text labels allocation's and the DrawingArea as the destination should do the job, I guess. -- Christer Palm ___ gtk-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
