GTK+ Canvas ............

["Suresh Kumar" <suresh_vsamy rediffmail com>]

Hi,
    Iam new to Gtk+ and Windows. I have selected GTk+ for my 
project. Before  i proceed with reading documents, I expect some 
points to be
cleared.

    I have enough knowledge in tool kits (like tcl/tk, 
python/tkinter). In most of all tool kits the drawing area is 
called   as "Canvas" which is a special window used for drawing 
items like  circle,rectangles, lines, etc.,. Is there any canvas 
in Gtk?

   I know that "GnomeCanvas" does all my above work. But 
GnomeCanvas works only in linux not in Windows (Iam using Windows 
2000).

    In other tool kits, when an item is drawn on the canvas, it
 returns an Id, which could be used for further selection of the 
item.
 Apart from that, users can also give their own "Id" or "tag" to 
an
 item. Is that mechanism is adopted in Gtk?

  Let make clear before i proceed with GTK+.
