[gtkextra] slow gtk+extra and notebook widgets

[Steve F. <fi...@ma...>]

Hi,

I just started using GTK and GTK+EXTRA. As such, I used glade to generate my
UI and manually added a plotcanvas to a gtknotebook page on which I will be
plotting 4 ~large(32K,64K) spectra. I am noticing that when clicking the tab
with the plotcanvas on it, it takes a long time (~10-15 sec) for the plot
page to update. The FFTs themselves don't take much time, <1sec.

I don't have access to the code I'm writing right now, but it pretty much
follows the testplot code with the exception that the canvas is being
stuffed into a notebook page.

Another odd thing is that I get gdk errors about not having a plottable
window (window!=NULL, I think) GTK warnings.

I was wondering if putting the plot in a notebook page was a BadIdea(TM) or
if there's something else I might try. My next step is to just pop open a
seperate window for the plots to see if there's extra notebook overhead, but
I haven't done that yet.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
fizzix
