Problem Suppose you would like to set up check buttons with images as options. In Part 1, each option comprises an image with a text label. In this Part 2, each option is just an image (without the text label) as shown below:
Solution
- We make use of exactly the same technique as outlined in How to setup checkboxes with images as options - Part 1?
- Instead of packing both an image and a text label, we pack only the image in this case.
- However, since there is no text label, we need to manually pass the text label along with the 'toggled' signal for the check buttons.
Sample Code Note: The following image files are required by the sample code below. Please save a copy of the image files and put them in the same directory where you store the sample code.

 | square_green.jpg |
 | square_blue.jpg |

// add a status area
$vbox->pack_start($status_area = new GtkLabel('Select the checkboxes'));
$window->show_all();
Gtk::main();
// function to simplify the display of grouped radio buttons
function setup_checkbox($label, $img_filename) {
$checkbox = new GtkCheckButton();
$checkbox->connect('toggled', "on_toggle", $label); // note 1
$button_hbox = new GtkHBox();
$checkbox->add($button_hbox);
$img = GtkImage::new_from_file($img_filename);
