ANNOUNCE: GtkExtra-0.99.6

[Adrian Feiguin <feiguin magnet fsu edu>]

I'm releasing a new verion of gtkextra with important changes.
GtkPlotLayout has been removed and merged with GtkPlotCanvas, and
rewritten as a GtkFixed subclass. GtkIconList was also rewritten as a 
GtkFixed subclass, and it is (toghether with GtkIconFileSelection)
much, much faster now.
These changes would allow people to compile the library under win32;
follow link in the web page to contact Nicholas.
Enjoy!,
<ADRIAN>

08/05/2000 Summary of changes

GtkPlotCanvas
=============

- GtkPlotLayout was merged with GtkPlotCanvas and removed from the dirtribution.
  All the gtk_plot_layout... functions are now called gtk_plot_canvas...

- GtkPlotCanvas has been changed to be a GtkFixed subclass.

- gtk_plot_canvas_new has a new argument "magnification"

 Magnification: 
  With gtk_plot_canvas_set_magnification you can choose the page
  magnification. The page, and all the plots contained are rescaled.
  It's completely WYSIWYG. 

GtkPlotLayout
=============

Removed from the distribution.


GtkPlot
=======

- All the functions "gtk_plot_dataset..." are now "gtk_plot_data..."

- Magnification

- Data labels: you can add individual labels to each point.

- New functions:
  gtk_plot_set_magnification
  gtk_plot_data_set_labels
  gtk_plot_data_labels_set_attributes
  gtk_plot_data_show/hide labels


GtkItemEntry
============

- GtkIEntry is now called GtkItemEntry. 

- GTK_IENTRY is now GTK_ITEM_ENTRY

GtkIconList
===========

- GtkIconList was changed to be a GtkFixed subclass. Much, much faster...
  GtkIconFileSelection is now very usable.


19/04/2000 Summary of changes

GtkPlotCanvas
=============

Completely redesigned and re-written, almost from scratch, using the same API.
The new changes will make easier to add new objects in the future, like arrows.

- New structure GtkPlotCanvasItem:

  item->type                     item->data 
------------------------------------------------
GTK_PLOT_CANVAS_PLOT		 GtkPlot *
GTK_PLOT_CANVAS_TITLE		 GtkPlotAxis *
GTK_PLOT_CANVAS_AXIS		 GtkPlotAxis *
GTK_PLOT_CANVAS_LEGEND		 GtkPlot *
GTK_PLOT_CANVAS_TEXT		 GtkPlotText *

- Signals: "select_item", "move_item", "resize_item", "select_region"

- FLAGS: 
  GTK_PLOT_CANVAS_CAN_SELECT       allows to select a region,
                                   a simple box inside a plot.
  GTK_PLOT_CANVAS_CAN_SELECT_ITEM  allows to select objects, 
                                   but not datapoints. 
  GTK_PLOT_CANVAS_CAN_SELECT_POINT allows to select datapoints, 
                                   but not other objects. 
  GTK_PLOT_CANVAS_CAN_DND          allows to DnD objects, 
                                   once selected. 
  GTK_PLOT_CANVAS_CAN_DND_POINT    allows to DnD datapoints, 
                                   once selected. 

If you want to use DnD, you have to set both flags:
GTK_PLOT_CANVAS_CAN_SELECT_ITEM and GTK_PLOT_CANVAS_CAN_DND.
If you set only CAN_SETECT_ITEM, you won't be able to DnD.
If you set only CAN_DND, it won't work if CAN_SELECT_ITEM is off.
Same for datapoints.

You already know that if your signal handler returns the value FALSE,
the selection or action will be ignored.
