Ahem. After playing around with C-GTK code for a while today, I have once again found that Python-GTK is umpteen times easier. So, I made a Python version of loci-gui, sort of. It is in the CVS module "loci-gui". Notice that the C version is loci_gui. Run the Python program loci-gui.py: $ ./loci-gui.py loci-gui.glade The .glade files in the directory are GUI-XML files generated by GLADE. Since I made the C version in glade, I put the .glade file in the directory. What has to be done next though is to hard code the double-paned window in PyGTK and change the GUI-XML mechanism to draw all widgets in the right pane. The left pane will contain a high-level C-GTK widget for the OpenGL molecule and etc. rendering, which will be wrapped in Python. Thanks to James Henstridge for much of the code to get us started here. Bye. Jeff -- J.W. Bizzaro mailto:bizzaro at bc.edu Boston College Chemistry http://www.uml.edu/Dept/Chem/Bizzaro/ --
