I'm looking for a library with (what seems like) basic drawing
capabilities:

- drawing circles, rectangles, and lines between them (like a family
tree)
- text notations on these objects; not exactly ON them, but near them
- ability to fill partials on the circles and rectangles, mostly
filling a quadrant at a time, possibly >1 quadrant, with different
colors; also possibly with small shapes, such as a circle or square
within the quadrant, but only half the size of the quadrant; I guess
for circles this might be some kind of filled arc
- event handlers (mostly mouse events) on these objects; hopefully
also context menus, such as right-clicking on a circle to bring up a
menu of actions

I don't really need things to scale, I don't think. I haven't done
anything with SVG before, just simple drawing.  I'm not sure how these
widgets would interact with other gwt widgets, for example, I suppose
the context menus could be done with regular gwt widgets.

So far I've only looked over the sites and docs for each of the
projects but haven't tried them out yet.  GWTCanvas seems more
'official' since its in the incubator.  But it's hard to tell how much
activity is on it since its wrapped up with the other projects there.
The docs seem pretty sparse, although the demo source is potentially
promising, but I haven't looked at that yet either.  I don't see any
way to draw text with it.  Only one class for all its functionality
seems a bit odd.

gwt-graphics looks a little more robust and active, although only 1
developer makes me a little nervous.

Thanks, I'd appreciate any input, thoughts, etc.
