g_io_channel + socket = client, and GIO not work properly - c

dude here im gonna create client and combine with GIO Channel, and after i put it all together, it seems appears to work on socket, but the g_io_channel not as watching, like crashing or such..
please see following code :
#include <stdio.h>
#include <gio/gio.h> // g_timeout_add
#include <gtk/gtk.h> // gtk
#include <netinet/in.h> //sockaddr_in
#include <sys/socket.h> // socket();
#include <arpa/inet.h> // inet_addr();
#include <string.h> // memset();
struct dada
{
gint id_sock;
guint id_gio_watch;
};
gboolean incoming(GIOChannel *chan, GIOCondition condition, struct dada *didi )
{
int byte;
int insock = g_io_channel_unix_get_fd(chan);
#define MAXMAX 128
char buff[128];
printf("sock : %d\n",insock);
byte = recv(insock,buff,MAXMAX-1,0);
if(byte <= 0)
{
perror("recv");
close(didi->id_sock);
g_source_remove(didi->id_gio_watch);
return FALSE;
}
else
{
buff[byte] = '\0';
printf("coming : %s",buff);
}
return TRUE;

my own pc run as server with port 1111 and stream connection ( TCP ) :
$ nc -v -l 1111
running my app :
$ ./konek_gioglib

sock : 6
server got connection and send some word :
$ nc -v -l 1111
Connection from 127.0.0.1 port 1111 [tcp/*] accepted

and when the server send something, gtk window show but with error like these :
is there anyone dont mind to explain, why these things could happened to mine ?

return 0;
}
and the only different had made is the "worked" code , need :
- gio for connecting, and gio for watching
instead of be "non-worked" code ( only gio for connecting ), but again i just wondering "why", why on connect() need two gio (recursively) in order make these "gio things" work,
these is really odd, if I see back then on g_io_channel + socket = server , still just get one client ? in C language
which on accept() just need only one gio and only for watching.
if someone could explain these, how great it'll be :)

GDK: How to refresh transparent background?

In a purely GDK 3.10 (no GTK) project how do I refresh/clear/redraw a transparent background of a GdkWindow?
This test.c sets the background correctly on initialization (gdk_window_show()) and when I iconify+deiconify the window but not on resizing or moving it around per mouse:
#include <gdk/gdk.h>
// #include <gdk/gdkx.h> // GDK X11
// #include <X11/Xlib.h> // Xlib
// #include <X11/Xutil.h>
void eventHandler(GdkEvent *evt, gpointer data) {
GdkWindow *win = (GdkWindow *)data;
switch(evt->type)
{
case GDK_CONFIGURE: {
// refresh window background here
printf("refresh background here\n");
break;
}
case GDK_DELETE: {
gdk_window_destroy(win);
_exit(0);
break;
}
default:
break;
}
}
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
gdk_init(NULL, NULL);
GdkDisplay *disp=gdk_display_get_default();
GdkScreen *scr = gdk_display_get_default_screen (disp);
GdkWindow *root = gdk_screen_get_root_window(scr);
GdkWindowAttr attr;
attr.width=200;
attr.height=200;
attr.x=0;
attr.y=0;
attr.window_type = GDK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL;
attr.wclass=GDK_INPUT_OUTPUT;
GdkVisual *vis = gdk_screen_get_rgba_visual (scr);
attr.visual = vis;
GdkWindow *newWin=gdk_window_new(root,&attr, GDK_WA_X | GDK_WA_Y);
GdkRGBA color = { .red=1.0, .green=0.0, .blue=1.0, .alpha=0.0};
gdk_window_set_background_rgba(newWin, &color);
gdk_event_handler_set (eventHandler, newWin, NULL);
gdk_window_show(newWin);
GMainLoop *mainloop = g_main_new (TRUE);
g_main_loop_run (mainloop);
gdk_display_close(disp);
return 0;
}
gcc build command:
gcc -o test test.c `pkg-config gdk-3.0 --libs --cflags`
Outcome:
Note: I'm targeting X11 so I'm also allowed to include Xlib or GDK X11 backend functions.
Thank you for any help or pointers.
The solution to this is a fix of a rather silly mistake I made passing an incomplete attribute mask to gdk_window_new().
To make it work the line in question has to be changed to:
GdkWindow *newWin=gdk_window_new(root,&attr, GDK_WA_X | GDK_WA_Y | GDK_WA_VISUAL | GDK_WA_WMCLASS);

Drawing lines with GTK+ and Cairo without removing what is already drawn

Currently I am writing a program in C, on a linux system (Raspberry Pi to be exact) which should draw to a GTK window using Cairo. I've been following the tutorial at: http://zetcode.com/gfx/cairo/ . But it is way to vague with it's explanations at certain points.
It does not explain two points that I really need:
I can't figure out a way to draw to the window with a proper function call.
It removes what is already drawn.
I need a piece of code that does some simple things, in a very Object-Oriented manner:
Draw lines to a GTK window with a function call, given X and Y for both starting and end point;
Do not remove what is previously drawn;
All initializations of variables and the window should be outside the main function.
So basically something similar to this:
#include <cairo.h>
#include <gtk/gtk.h>
void drawLine(int xStart, int yStart, int yEnd, int xEnd) {
//Drawing code here.
}
void initializeCairo() {
//Insert cairo initialization.
}
void initializeGTK() {
//Insert GTK initialization.
}
/*If needed a general initializer for both cairo and GTK*/
void initialize() {
//Insert general initialization.
}
int main (int argc, char *archv[]) {
intializeGTK();
initializeCairo();
if(doSomething) {
drawLine(10, 10, 20, 20);
}
}
If it could be explained what a method does (in proper English please, not a reference to the documentation), that'd be absolutely great.
Also please include the gcc build command used.
Thanks in advance!
The answers from andlabs are fine. Here is in addition a short (although not entirely elegant) example. It will "kind of remember" the last NUM lines - creation/resize/activation/deactivation of the window will trigger a "draw" of the content. A Next button click will add a new line to the output. Check also the command-line output for an update of
the array values that are drawn.

How can I do for this error?
You are calling a Gtk+ widget function from another thread. Gtk+ is not thread safe so don't do that.
Your best option is to avoid threads: design your code so that the main loop is never blocked for long periods. Usually when I see threading problems, the use of threads is unnecessary and the whole mess could have been avoided by a cleaner design.
If the code can't be designed in a better way, then you'll need to use e.g. g_main_context_invoke() in your other thread to invoke a function in the main thread: that function can then modify the Gtk+ widget state safely. Be careful not to make mistakes with lifetimes of pointers that you share between threads.

event callback does not get executed in custom gtk3 widget

Currently trying to create a custom widget which is based directly on GtkWidget, marks it as drawable and draws content with cairo. So much for the context.
As soon as I try to handle events (so I can implement zoom) - especially the scroll event - just does not work and I am not sure as of why.
The callback does get executed on focus-in/focus out (good old print statement proves that), but I do never ever get any scroll wheel activity detected by that callback (button clicks are key press/release do not work either).
I tried to hook up to the event signal by
using the function pointer and assigning callback function (which I think is the right thing to do)
using g_signal_connect (mywidget, "event",..) from foo_new or foo_init
Neither did work.
The Foo init:
foo_init (Foo *self)
{
GtkWidget *widget = GTK_WIDGET (self);
gtk_widget_set_has_window (widget, FALSE);
self->priv = FOO_GET_PRIVATE (self);
gtk_widget_add_events (widget, GDK_ALL_EVENTS_MASK);
g_assert ((gtk_widget_get_events (widget) & GDK_SCROLL_MASK) != 0); //just fine
/* added some stuff I also tried but did not work */
gtk_widget_set_sensitive (widget, TRUE);
gtk_widget_set_can_focus (widget, TRUE);
gtk_widget_grab_focus (widget);
...
How can I get all the events of my widget?
Assigning widget_class->key_press_event = my_handler_callback; actually works as expected and I get the keys I press, but the very same widget_class->button_press_event = my_handler_callback; or widget_class->scroll_event = my_handler_callback; assignments do not work!
widget_class->key_press_event = my_handler_callback; // works
widget_class->key_release_event = my_handler_callback; // works
widget_class->button_press_event = my_handler_callback; // NOT
widget_class->button_release_event = my_handler_callback; // NOT
widget_class->scroll_event = my_handler_callback; // NOT
This made me suspicious.
To receive this signal, the GdkWindow associated to the widget needs
to enable the GDK_BUTTON_PRESS_MASK mask.
Is it necessary to realize the widget before gtk_widget_add_events "works"...?
Update: Tried to call gtk_widget_add_events after gtk_widget_show_all. No change.

Use
gcc `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-3.0` -I. ./foo.c ./foo_test.c -o foo.bin
to compile (granted, all files are in your cwd)
Moving from GtkWidget to GtkDrawingArea was required, as without it would crash. The root cause was that the ->window private variable of widget is not populated without a proper realize default callback - which I did not implement.

How to start and stop GIF animated GtkImage in GTK+

I have a GTK+ application written in C that loads a matrix of animated GIF files. These GtkImages automatically run the animation when they are loaded and then stop when the animation is completed. How would I restart the animation of each GtkImage containing the GIF and are signals generated when the animation is complete?
Thank you.
EDIT :
Would the use of gdk_pixbuf_animation_get_iter() described here make this possible?
Full code is provided below.

After taking a look at the GtkImage source code, I am afraid there is no signal that is generated when the animation is completed. However, you should be able to restart the animation by calling gtk_image_set_from_file() or gtk_image_set_from_animation().
To completely solve your initial issue, I propose you create a subclass of GtkImage. It should behave exactly like GtkImage, except that animation_timeout should send a signal if delay < 0 around line 1315.
Information about creating a subclass of a GObject (note that GtkImage is a GObject) can be found here.
Based on user1202136's answer the following code snippets show the solution. I post this in case others find it useful.
The basic idea is to use GdkPixbufAnimation, gdk_pixbuf_animation_new_from_file and gtk_image_set_from_animation
The following code snippet(s) show how to do it.
GtkWidget *images[3][5];
GdkPixbufAnimation *animations[3][5];
/* Initial setup of animated gifs */
for( y = 0; y < 3; y++ )
{
for( x = 0; x < 5; x++ )
{
/* set each Image widget to spin GIF */
sprintf( filename,"%d-%d.gif", y+1,x+1 );
images[y][x] = gtk_image_new();
animations[y][x] = gdk_pixbuf_animation_new_from_file ( filename , &error);
gtk_image_set_from_animation (GTK_IMAGE(images[y][x]), animations[y][x]);
gtk_fixed_put(GTK_FIXED(frame), images[y][x], (x*120) + 20, (y*120) + 20);
}
}
/* now to restart the animations use the images and animations array already stored in memory,
no need to re-read the animations from disk so this happens quickly
*/
/* restart animated gifs */
for( y = 0; y < 3; y++ )
{
for( x = 0; x < 5; x++ )
{
gtk_image_set_from_animation(GTK_IMAGE(images[y][x]), animations[y][x]);
}
}
