Re: [gtk-list] Canvas widget in GTK?

[Cody Russell <bratsche dfw net>]

The GtkDrawingArea is certainly useful if all you're doing is drawing
"lines, circles, etc". The GnomeCanvas has a lot of really awesome
features to it that simply don't belong at the GTK+ level, such as
anti-aliasing, and from what I understand there is a goal to make
GnomeCanvas objects printable using the gnome-print package.

Bear in mind that you can install the gnome-libs package without running
the entire GNOME environment. That way you can painlessly use selected
features like the GnomeCanvas.
