GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 79286
Canvas widget
Last modified: 2015-02-16 14:31:22 UTC
This is an item from the now-gone TODO file. I think there even was a de-gnomified version of the Gnome canvas once (GtkCanvas ?).
That's the foocanvas module in gnomecvs.
any canvas work should probably wait until we have the cairo integration done
The most likely candidate for this is Damons work on goocanvas, http://www.dachaplin.dsl.pipex.com/goocanvas/
What is the recent progress? Is there any roadmap? I would like to help, but I didn't receive any reply about this e-mail: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2007-September/msg00040.html
See http://live.gnome.org/ProjectRidley/CanvasOverview This page tries to collect highlights and drawbacks for the most known canvases around, plus some other information that hopefully will be useful to determine a sensible feature set and the best candidates to fill the canvas gap in GTK+.
things have moved on considerable since this was filed, and I don't think it makes sense to keep this bug open
