Each canvas comes with a set of "items" pre-defined. These generally all inherit from some prototypical canvas item, which includes a "virtual method" for painting the item onto the canvas. Each specific concrete instance of a canvas item type has its own painting method. If the builtin canvas items don't do what you want, you implement a new one. In general, this is really pretty easy to do (its slightly easier in C++, but even in C, its not hard). In terms of raw drawing APIs, all the newer canvases support Cairo, which is about as nice a drawing API as you could expect to find anywhere, and is actually very similar to both PostScript and Apple's Quartz drawing kit. --p _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
