Flipped version of fmap for defining trandformations inline.

Run a Now computation which can interact with GTK. Also starts the GTK system. Call only once, or GTK will freak out.

Set a GTK attribute to a behavior. Each time the behavior changes the attribute is updated.

Get an event that fires when a widget is destroyed. Useful for cutting off event streams with beforeEs.

General interface to convert an GTK signal to an event stream.

The signal has type callback, for example (ScrollType -> Double -> IO Bool) and the eventstream gives elements of type value, for instance (ScrollType,Double) The conversion function (3rd argument) takes a function to call for producing the value in our example, a function of type (ScollType,Double) -> IO () and produces a function of the form callback, in our example (ScrollType -> Double -> IO Bool).

In this example we can convert a signal with handler (ScrollType -> Double -> IO Bool) to an eventstream giving elements of type (ScrollType,Double) by letting the handler return False as follows:

scrollToEvStream :: Signal widget (ScrollType -> Double -> IO Bool) -> widget -> Now (EvStream (ScrollType,Double))
scrollToEvStream s w = getSignal s w convert where
  convert call scrolltype double = do call (scrolltype, double)
                                      return False

Obtain an event stream from a GTK signal giving a single value.

Obtain an event stream from a unit GTK signal, i.e. a signal with handler type: IO ()

Get a clock that gives the time since the creation of the clock in seconds, and updates maximally even given number of seconds.
