I don't have a tutorial I'm afraid, but you're welcome to look at my
code (and use it--it's GPL :-).

http://arch.debian.org/cgi-bin/archzoom.cgi/rleigh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/uterm--mainline--0.1--patch-41/cse?color=default

The cse-canvas-*.[ch] files will be the ones of interest.  The base
GnomeCanvas objects are found in cse-canvas.[ch].
cse_canvas_realize() and cse_canvas_init() are where the interesting
canvas-y stuff happens.

The other files are derived GnomeCanvasItems.  You don't need to
derive GnomeCanvasItems at all--using the stock items is fine, but
I've used it to simplify canvas operations by deriving from
GnomeCanvasGroup, so a single object can contain a set of related
items which may be manipulated as a whole.

Sorry about the lack of documentation there--I've not yet documented
the canvas stuff.


You can check out the whole source tree using the instructions here:

http://arch.debian.org/cgi-bin/archzoom.cgi/rleigh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/uterm--mainline--0.1--patch-41/README?color=default

If you don't have arch or the build dependencies, I can put up a
tarball.  Seeing how the canvas stuff looks on screen will hopefully
illustrate better what the code is doing.  (You'll need to configure
with CC='gcc -std=gnu99' until autoconf includes AC_PROG_CC_C99.)


I found the Gnumeric sources, and the advice of Jody Goldberg (the
maintainer) to be invaluable while writing this.


Regards,
Roger
