Hi, I wish to draw three rectangles on the drawing area. But after  finishing drawing  one ,I draw the next. Also I wish to add the scaling effect to it.Like the first rectangle is initially small.I enlarge it to a particular size and then draw the next one. I have accomplished this , but because I call queue_redraw in my timer function the previously drawn rectangle vanishes and then the second one is drawn. I dont wish to explicitly draw the three rectangles by specifying the co-ordinates.Is their a better way to do it? Regards, Abhidhnya.
