Biggest hurdle is that I don't know squat about GTK. If anyone knows good resources for learning GTK I'd appreciate it. Is that GTK book by Havoc Pennington a good investment?
If it's the one published in 1999, it's not worth it because it focuses on Gtk 1.x. I haven't seen good printed material for Gtk 2.x, unfortunately.
Hmm. Ok. Good to know. I almost did an impulse buy yesterday on Amazon. The recent wxPython book is a very nice reference and guide, and even if I don't refer to it that much it's nice to have there by my side when I foray into new or forgotten territory.
The way I learned was going through the tutorials at gtkmm.org, they were pretty good and didn't take too much time to work through.
Ok. Thanks for the recommendation.
For working on existing gtk code in inkscape, you can probably get by just looking up routines at the gtk.org and gtkmm.org websites. The docs are pretty terse but they generally give a fair idea what's going on.
Of course, if you ever get stuck, you can always ask here (or better on the inkscape-devel list), and others can try to help you through it.
Yeh, but I don't want to waste your time asking questions like "what's the spinner widget called in GTK?"
Thanks.
