Until the new gtkmm series is released, you'll have to get a cairo context by using the underlying GTK+/GDK functions. For example, you'll need to do something like this (assuming you have cairomm installed): Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::Window> win = get_window(); Cairo::RefPtr<Cairo::Context> cr( new Cairo::Context(gdk_cairo_create(win->gobj()), true)); >From here on, you can use cr just as if you had called the missing gtkmm function Gdk::Window::create_cairo_context(). In other words, this is the only place you'll need to resort to a workaround until gtkmm 2.10 comes out. Jonner </pre> </blockquote> </body> </html>
