If you need to interact with the graphic items (ie, capturing a button
press while on top of a circle), then the canvas is for you.  Also, if
you don't want to worry about refreshing/redrawing items yourself, the
canvas works well.  However, if you are just drawing/displaying items,
then the drawing_area is sufficient.
