What is it?
GCK is meant as a general convenience kit for GIMP plug-in writers and
users of the GDK/GTK libraries. It's basically a collection of stuff for
UI construction, color- and image handling, vector operations, math funcs
etc. (see below). Please note that GCK is still a pre-alpha version; many
things doesn't work properly and the API is not completely stable yet.
When the API is stable ,GCK will enter beta. Check it out and give
me some feedback.
What's new in 0.06?
- Changed gck_entryfield_new(); it now takes a double as the
initial value, and not a pointer to a double. The function won't fiddle
with the user_data field of the observer, but leaves this to the
user.
- Added gck_tooltipswidget. Handy a-la MS and Netscape widget
tips. Added a small example on its usage.
- Changed the behaviour of gdk_rgb_to_gdkcolor() a bit. The
returned pointer to the GdkColor structure is now malloced, so
remember to free it when you're done with it.
- Added two more gtk widgets; gck_menu and gck_menu_bar.
Again, see the examples.
- Added gck_list_box widget - convenience routines for handling
lists. I've included a couple of examples to show it off.
