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