There are some things related with <tt>gtk.DrawingArea</tt> that we have to change when we are porting an activity to Gtk3. The names of the signals change and the way that they work as well.
This signal was override by '''draw''' and it have to be connected with the method that was connected with the ''expose-event'' before. The method itself does not change but the arguments that it receives do. This is the new definition of the function in my case:
This signal was used to resize the gtk.DrawingArea every time the window grows and at the startup of the activity. This is useful to re-draw the widget for different resolutions (desktops and XOs for example).

I used the same function connected to this signal but I change the signal connected by '''configure-event'''. Here is the definition of the callback:
+
+
def _configure_event_cb(self, widget, event):
+
+
I just used the ''size-allocate'' signal to save the the dimensions of the widget (width and height), so I can use them later on the '''draw''' signal.
