Brett, perhaps thats the > way you want to go? When I heard Bertrand's talk at root2001, I was very interested to learn his work was based on GDK (this world is an ironic place). However, I'm not sure this really matters from the point of view of using Gtk-- (or Qt) to write GUI code with ROOT. One would still need to integrate TCanvas, the context menu and some other things in order to get a TCanvas on a Gtk::Widget (or QWidget). Maybe issues related to ROOT's main event would be easier, but this is one area I am still in the dark about. Currently, with GtkROOT you must give the main loop to Gtk, thus no ROOT prompt is possible. I look forward to see how QtROOT handles this. Hmm, just had a thought (rare for me). Maybe a better approach might be to not use TCanvas at all, but implement a TCanvas with Gnome::Canvas from Gnome-- (or QCanvas from Qt). Anyone have comments about this? -Brett.
