[cl-gtk2-devel] cl-gtk2 w/ cl-cairo2

[Tamas Papp]

Hi cl-gtk2 developers,

I am the author of the cl-cairo2 library (with significant
contributions from others), and I was very happy to see it mentioned
on the cl-gtk2 page.

cl-cairo2 has some basic functionality for displaying graphics using
X11.  It basically creates an xlib image surface in cairo, draws on
that, and copies that to a window whenever there is a change or X asks
for redrawing.

This code was written by my in plain vanilla X (manually implemented
event loop etc) with a few Lisp wrappers, and it is not very robust.
I was wondering if it would be possible to do a better job with
cl-gtk2.  Since cl-cairo2 is mentioned on the project page, maybe
someone here could point me to code that does something related so
that I could learn how to do this.  I have to admit that I am pretty
clueless about X and Gtk programming in general.

Thanks,

Tamas
