Go bindings for GTK
SCREENSHOT

INSTALL
You can experiment with go-gtk by running the various example programs:
git clone https://github.com/mattn/go-gtk
cd go-gtk
go get ...
make example
./example/demo/demo
Or
go get github.com/mattn/go-gtk/gtk
Don't forget, that you need the GTK-Development-Packages.
If you use linux, you should install libgtk+-2.0 and packages that depend on gtk.
On Debian and Debian derived distributions you can run (as root):
apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev libglib2.0-dev libgtksourceview2.0-dev
If you use windows, find gtk binary packages from here:
EMBEDDING
It is possible to embed a pixbuf image with:
$ go run tools/make_inline_pixbuf/make_inline_pixbuf.go logoPNG data/go-gtk-logo.png > logo.gen.go
And then load it with:
pb := gdkpixbuf.NewPixbufFromData(logoPNG)
LICENSE
The library is available under the same terms and conditions as the Go, the BSD style license, and the LGPL (GNU Lesser General Public License). The idea is that if you can use Go (and Gtk) in a project, you should also be able to use go-gtk.
