Hello all,

I am trying to use gtk.DrawingArea to draw an orange rectangle, using
some of the information at
http://www.pygtk.org/pygtk2tutorial/ch-DrawingArea.html.

I have included a sample of my code below, which draws a black
rectangle.  However, I cannot get it to accept the color information
from gc.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

import gtk

class CustomDrawingArea(gtk.DrawingArea):
     def __init__(self):
         gtk.DrawingArea.__init__(self)
         self.connect("expose_event", self.expose)

     def expose(self, widget, event):
         self.context = widget.window.cairo_create()
         self.draw(self.context)

         return False

     def draw(self, context):
         drawable = self.window
         gc = drawable.new_gc()

         gc.foreground = gtk.gdk.color_parse("orange")
Try the following line instead:
        gc.set_foreground(self.get_colormap().alloc_color("#FF8000"))

Cheers,
Timo

         gc.fill = gtk.gdk.SOLID

         drawable.draw_rectangle(gc, True, x=100, y=100, width=10, height=50)

def main():
     window = gtk.Window()
     window.set_size_request(500, 500)

     cda = CustomDrawingArea()

     window.add(cda)
     window.connect("destroy", gtk.main_quit)
     window.show_all()

     gtk.main()

if __name__ == "__main__":
     main()
