int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
GtkWidget *window;
GtkWidget *label;
gtk_init(&argc, &argv);
/* Create the main, top level window */
window = gtk_window_new(GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
/* Give it the title */
gtk_window_set_title(GTK_WINDOW(window), "Hello, world!");
/*
** Map the destroy signal of the window to gtk_main_quit;
** When the window is about to be destroyed, we get a notification and
** stop the main GTK+ loop by returning 0
*/
g_signal_connect(window, "destroy", G_CALLBACK(gtk_main_quit), NULL);
/*
** Assign the variable "label" to a new GTK label,
** with the text "Hello, world!"
*/
label = gtk_label_new("Hello, world!");
/* Plot the label onto the main window */
gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(window), label);
/* Make sure that everything, window and label, are visible */
gtk_widget_show_all(window);
/*
** Start the main loop, and do nothing (block) until
** the application is closed
*/
gtk_main();
return 0;
}
This code seems understandable, something I can work with.
(The "GTK+ example using Vala instead of C" looks even better,
but its an extra layer to deal with.)
What I am not clear about is will GTK+ also need "X Window System",
and/or "GLib Object System, or GObject"?
What I need the graphics for is mostly for VisualControls(form,buttons,listbox,etc.),
and maybe a little bit of pixel tweaking(replace one color with another).
Thanks...vm
