# Gtk4 Tutorial for beginners
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### Contents of this Repository
|
||
|
|
||
|
This tutorial illustrates how to write C programs with the Gtk4 library.
|
||
|
It focuses on beginners so the contents are limited to the basics.
|
||
|
The table of contents is at the end of this abstract.
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Section 3 to 21 describes the basics, with the example of a simple editor `tfe` (Text File Editor).
|
||
|
- Section 22 to 25 describes GtkDrawingArea.
|
||
|
- Section 26 to 29 describes the list model and the list view (GtkListView, GtkGridView and GtkColumnView).
|
||
|
It also describes GtkExpression.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The latest version of the tutorial is located at [Gtk4-tutorial github repository](https://github.com/ToshioCP/Gtk4-tutorial).
|
||
|
You can read it from there directly without having to download anything.
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### Gtk4 Documentation
|
||
|
|
||
|
Please refer to [Gtk API Reference](https://docs.gtk.org/gtk4/index.html)
|
||
|
and [Gnome Developer Documentation Website](https://developer.gnome.org/) for further information.
|
||
|
|
||
|
These websites are newly opened lately (Aug/2021).
|
||
|
The old documentation is located at [Gtk Reference Manual](https://developer-old.gnome.org/gtk4/stable/) and [Gnome Developer Center](https://developer-old.gnome.org/).
|
||
|
The new website is in progress at present, so you might need to refer to the old version.
|
||
|
|
||
|
If you want to know about GObject and the type system, please refer to [GObject tutorial](https://github.com/ToshioCP/Gobject-tutorial).
|
||
|
The GObject details are easy to understand and also necessary to know when writing Gtk4 programs.
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### Contribution
|
||
|
|
||
|
This tutorial is under development and unstable.
|
||
|
Even though the codes of the examples have been tested on Gtk4 version 4.0, bugs may still exist.
|
||
|
If you find any bugs, errors or mistakes in the tutorial and C examples, please let me know.
|
||
|
You can post it to [github issues](https://github.com/ToshioCP/Gtk4-tutorial/issues).
|
||
|
You can also post corrected files as a commit to [pull request](https://github.com/ToshioCP/Gtk4-tutorial/pulls).
|
||
|
When you make corrections, correct the source files, which are under the 'src' directory,
|
||
|
then run `rake` to create to create the output file. The GFM files under the 'gfm' directory are automatically updated.
|
||
|
|
||
|
If you have a question, feel free to post it as an issue.
|
||
|
All questions are helpful and will make this tutorial get better.
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### How to get a HTML or PDF version
|
||
|
|
||
|
If you want to get a HTML or PDF version, you can make them with `rake`, which is a ruby version of make.
|
||
|
Type `rake html` for HTML.
|
||
|
Type `rake pdf` for PDF.
|
||
|
There is a documentation \("[How to build Gtk4 Tutorial](Readme_for_developers.html)"\) that describes how to make them.
