Libgnomecanvas was originally part of the gnome-libs package, but has been split out into a separate package for GNOME2. + + 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. |
