The first version will not include PS/xfig/whatever generation code.
I'll put Postscript support on the second version, most likely in a
way such that adding new back-ends will be easy.

It supports splines.  It is mostly identical to the Tk canvas in terms
of funcionality, except it does not have editable text items.  I have
made a couple of simple changes to the coordinate system:

      - You specify things in world coordinates.  So you could make
        these be millimeters, inches, parsecs, angstroms, whatever.

      - There is a gnome_canvas_set_pixels_per_unit() function that
        lets you set the scale for displaying on the screen.

This is so that it is convenient to think in terms of your own units.

I will put the GnomeCanvas widget on cvs in a few days.
