This is the canvas widget library for GNOME2. Libgnomecanvas was
|
|
originally part of the gnome-libs package, but has been split out into
|
|
a separate package for GNOME2.
|
|
|
|
The GNOME canvas is an engine for structured graphics that offers a rich
|
|
imaging model, high performance rendering, and a powerful, high-level API.
|
|
It offers a choice of two rendering back-ends, one based on Xlib for
|
|
extremely fast display, and another based on Libart, a sophisticated,
|
|
antialiased, alpha-compositing engine. Applications have a choice between
|
|
the Xlib imaging model or a superset of the PostScript imaging model,
|
|
depending on the level of graphic sophistication required.
