Sugar is using hippo-canvas, which is pretty good for css-like graphics but is very much of a work in progress and it's not very convenient for completely free form graphics. On the short term I suggest to use goocanvas which is more mature, more convenient for free form graphics and has also simple layout support. We should add it to the builds, it's small and useful. (the API is very similar to libgnomecanvas which was originally a port of tk canvas). On the longer term I'm putting all my bets on Havoc plan: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2008-March/msg00017.html Marco _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
