title: display an image in gtk - is gtk drawing area required?
body: <p>I'm trying to display an image that I load from a pixbuf( from data in memory) and the image gets updated every time (as the pixbuf is also changing with time). My question is that since the window will only contain the image( which is being updated periodically) , do I need a gtk drawable or a drawing area for this? or can I simply display the image in the window? Another option would be to use cairo. Can anyone please suggest a good way to do it?</p>
