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