- The GNOME canvas is an engine for structured graphics that
- offers a rich imaging model, high performance rendering, and a
- powerful, high-level API. It offers a choice of two rendering
- back-ends, one based on Xlib for extremely fast display, and
- another based on Libart, a sophisticated, antialiased,
- alpha-compositing engine. Applications have a choice between
- the Xlib imaging model or a superset of the PostScript imaging
- model, depending on the level of graphic sophistication
- required.
