Description Daniel Elstner 2009-05-21 01:12:51 UTC 
In a project of mine, I'm forced to do the following:

  // There is no Gdk::Bitmap::create() to create an empty bitmap in gdkmm.
  const Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::Bitmap> bitmap = Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::Bitmap>
    ::cast_dynamic(Glib::wrap(gdk_pixmap_new(window->gobj(), width, height, 1),
                              false));

I think we should add Gdk::Bitmap::create(drawable, width, height) and probably also the corresponding constructor to gdkmm.  Implementation as above.

Gdk::Bitmap was removed on 2010-09-27.

Comment 2 Kjell Ahlstedt 2011-05-31 15:33:16 UTC 
In gtkmm 3 both Gdk::Bitmap and Gdk::Pixmap have been removed.
In gtkmm 2 Gdk::Pixmap::create(drawable, width, height, 1) can be used as a
substitute for the non-existent Gdk::Bitmap::create(drawable, width, height).
