[gtkmm] custom widgets. how?

["B.Hakvoort" <bart hakvoort be>]

Hey,

What is the best way to create your own custom widgets in gtkmm(-2.4) ?

What i need is a widget that's much like a widget used in Partition
Magic. The one which visualises the harddisk with partitions in
different colors en allows you to resize some of these colored regions.
( i someone doesn't know what i'm talking about, just let me know and
i'll get you some screens! )

I've played around a bit with DrawingArea, but i think its quite hard to
use to get a custom widget. Should i use Gnome::Canvas? or are there
other options as well?

I'd like some suggestions and opinions while some examplecode would be
greatly appreciated as well :^)

grtz,

Bart
