For each of these item's, one should be able to move them around, resize them, put one partly over the other, etc. (you get the picture, i hope). This will ultimately be a plugin for shotwell. Now, i have been looking around for the best way to build this and it seems to me goocanvas is the best widget to use for this kind of functionality from vala. I don't know if there are any vala bindings for it, but you may also want to have a look at Clutter: http://www.clutter-project.org/ Regards, Vivien ___ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
Re: Is goocanvas best for scrapbook type app?
Hi Paul, Thanks for the link. That one was new to me. Seems like goocanvas, libccc and clutter are the main candidates. I don't want to use clutter because I do not want to depend on 3d stuff. So i agree it seems GooCanvas is the way to go.
