As I'm writing on a kind of xfig clone under gtk, I've done my own kind
of canvas, it can show different kind of primitives, zoom them etc.
Unfortunately (for you:-) it's all in c++, done with gtk--,
but I try to keep it modularized as well as possible,
so maybe it could help other people too...

I hope I can  put the project on the web soon, so if anyone is
interested...
