I think compared to drawing an image, drawing a few points seems not relevant. I never used regions, but the idea is to mark an area as 'dirty' (eg the area containing the new point). Then you will automatically get an expose event, with the area that must be redrawn (probably somewhere in the 'event' parameter). You can skip drawing all points that are outside that area. _______________________________________________ pygtk mailing list [email protected] http://www.daa.com.au/mailman/listinfo/pygtk Read the PyGTK FAQ: http://faq.pygtk.org/
