Just a quick Q for you GUI code gurus out there...
Should I be using GnomeCanvas or DrawingArea for general purpose, on-the-fly graphics?
It's totally confusing, as I thought drawingareas use pixmaps, and apparently pixmaps are depreciated, but drawingareas aren't?
GnomeCanvas (from the docs I've seen dated Jan 2000) seems like such a overly complex way to do such a simple thing!
All I want to do is draw lines, rectangles, circles, etc.to something, then display it on screen.
