Gtk::Image question-a-ma-bober

markcsmith has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I'm not familiar w/ the Gtk api, but have written a couple of *very* useful (and pretty :)) scripts w/ the help of the gtk-perl tutorial (which is excellent, btw). My problem is that the tutorial seems to have stopped right before it offered light on the Gtk::Image widget. Searching for documentation has proven futile and looking at the Gtk api wasn't that helpful either. Is there a perl-gtk hacker out there who could show me an example w/ this object and *possibly* give some future advice on using it inside this project I have in mind?

Thanks!
Mark

Gtk::Image is one of the many Undocumented Widgets. On the bright side, the fact that it is still undocumented is a good indicator that it's not really usefull. On the other hand, Gtk::Pixmap is extremely well documented, and very useful.	[reply]

PS: Gtk::Gdk::ImlibImage works well too (If you have Imlib installed prior to installing Gtk). But if you search the net you'll find some people who claim it's better to use Gtk::Gdk::Pixbuf.	[reply]
