require 'gtk2'

Gtk.init

win = Gdk::Window.default_root_window

gc = Gdk::GC.new win
win.draw_rectangle gc, true, 100, 100, 300, 400

Gtk.main



Hi,

i don't think that you will get much of it, if you don't understand how
X drawing works.

To get into the drawing concepts of Gdk the "X lib programming manual"
is the best starting point, even if it is quite hard. I don't know of a
better tutorial.

Cheers
