The Gtk way of drawing to pixbufs and drawable objects is through the use of Cairo. This is fine if you're working with screen objects or, you want nicely draw vector objects to build UI components. The use of the GdkPixbuf provides a convenient platform for a number of image manipulation operations. There are already some experimental filters in the gnocl core and today I added some extra functionality line and circle drawing plus flood fill. These are all pixel based and not anti-aliased but are lightning fast.
Given this module some attention today. Added some of the more package wide options to the module and created customised handler for setting the month. (For some odd reason months are are counted 0-11 whereas days are 1-31.) There's still a little more to do to this one including the addition of code to store diary details. Here's the working test script to show the range of options at work. The percentage substitution string item %e explores something that I've been toying with, the name of the signal/event that initiated the call. Ok, a script can keep its own internal trace but who knows, it might prove useful. #--------------- # calendarTest.tcl #--------------- # Author: William J Giddings # Date: 07/05/09 #--------------- #!/bin/sh # the next line restarts using tclsh \ exec tclsh "$0" "$@" #--------------- package require Gnocl set cal [gnocl::calendar] $cal configure -day 8 -month 7 -year 1956 $cal configure -rowHeight 1 -colWidth 1 $ca
