-# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
-# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.
-# Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and
-# the '|' on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.
-# You must make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct.  It's also
-# customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines.

-libgnomecanvas: libgnomecanvas (GNOME canvas library)
-libgnomecanvas:
-libgnomecanvas: The GNOME canvas is an engine for structured graphics that offers
-libgnomecanvas: a rich imaging model, high performance rendering, and a powerful,
-libgnomecanvas: high-level API.  It offers a choice of two rendering back-ends, one
-libgnomecanvas: based on Xlib for extremely fast display, and another based on Libart,
-libgnomecanvas: a sophisticated, antialiased, alpha-compositing engine. Applications
-libgnomecanvas: have a choice between the Xlib imaging model or a superset of the
-libgnomecanvas: PostScript imaging model, depending on the level of graphic
-libgnomecanvas: sophistication required.
