all drawing in GTK is done with Cairo.

you generally create a DrawingArea (or occasionally an EventBox) and draw into that, but ONLY from the expose/draw handler. pack the drawing area appropriately. the right things will happen.

the actual task you want to accomplish has many potential complications that i don't have the time to go into. your idea about scrolling is not necessarily the right one, but that depends a lot on many other aspects of the problem and data.
