Hi Owen,

Thanks a lot for your help. Now I can use both ways of drawing.

Yes, this worked.

The SWT toolkit's examples use drawing on the GC object for 2D stuff
when using their drawing routines. This is where I got confused. I now
do not use the GC when drawing directly to the window using the above
method that you suggest. When using double buffering, I draw stuff on
the GdkPixmap and then do a SWT's GC.drawImge() to draw the image onto
the GC.

Does Gtk use double buffering for painting? I may still need to draw on
a separate Image object and then draImage() it on the GC object, to
support Windows platform (I am using GDI+ on windows). If I did this on
Gtk (i.e. my own double buffering) will I pay any performance penalties?

Thanks,
