How to resize gtk.gdk.Pixmap

I am created an instance of gtk.gdk.Pixmap, and painted on it something. For example:

pixmap = gtk.gdk.Pixmap(widget.window,100,800)
pixmap.draw_rectangle(gc, True, 0, 0, 100, 800)
pixmap.draw_line(gc, 0, 0,100, 800)

How can I to resize the Pixmap? One way that I see is to copy the Pixmap into a PixBuf using gtk.gdk.Pixbuf.get_from_drawable, then resize the Pixbuf, and then copy the Pixbuf to the Pixmap

Is there any way to do this without all the copying?

Solution

  • Unfortunately it's not possible without all this copying. Please note that GdkPixmap and GdkPixbuf are deprecated in favor of Cairo.
