Explanation

We make use of the code in How to display a 2D array in table - Part 1? to display a 2D array.

What's new here:

  1. Create the GtkLabel and stuff it inside the vbox. Note the use of 0, 0 to prevent any expansion or filling.
  2. Create another empty GtkVbox and turn on expansion and filling so that it will "push" the label to the top.
