Set a text in the drawing area

Question

I'd like to set a text into Drawing Area object, using pygtk. So, I created a drawing area and set up a callback function using "expose event" signal. Then I coded a function to set the text. What I coded is:

self.pangolayout = self.movie_window.create_pango_layout("")
...
self.pangolayout.set_text("Text here")

where "movie_windows" is a DrawingArea object. I got no error, but nothing is written on the drawing area. SuggestionS?

Answer 1

Did you draw the layout to the window?

The third example of this tutorial uses pango layout: http://zetcode.com/tutorials/pygtktutorial/pangoII/
