The GNOME Canvas: a Generic Engine for Structured Graphics
Federico Mena-Quintero, Helix Code, Inc.
Abstract
The GNOME canvas is a generic engine for structured graphics that offers
a rich imaging model, high performance rendering, and a powerful
high-level API. Application programmers can use the canvas to create
interactive graphics displays easily. Many GNOME applications use the
canvas as their main display engine, some of them using the basic
functionality provided by the canvas, and others by extending it for
their particular needs. This paper describes the architecture of the
canvas in detail and examines the way it is used in several GNOME
applications.
