I'm trying to write a script to display an EPG type grid for a demonstration and then tell the player to change to specific urls in response to the channel selected.
I know the scripts framework is in a state of flux with Dharma (which is what I am using), and have gotten a simple grid of labels and buttons displaying relevant info working.
I would like to "draw" graphics primitives to add some graphical structure to my EPG grid. I can see that xbmcgui does not have such primitives and wondered what is the recommended way to achieve the same effect. Manipulating images does not seem a natural way to do this.
I'm a newbie at XBMC and the autogenerated docs of xbmcgui classes are a little lacking in context sometimes, can you suggest a complex script in which I can learn by example how to write larger script applications.

SA
