Hi, It seems that things do not advance a lot by now. AFAIK, no much work have been done except Alexander Larsson's patch available at: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=318807
David Bellot told me he is too busy at the moment to work on the canvas and, personally, I am not just not able to write the whole thing alone. As GnomeCanvas does not fulfill all my needs and might be soon deprecated, I decided to replace it for GChemPaint by a light canvas (I do not need many items, nor an optimized canvas) starting from libgnomecanvas code. At the moment, I am working on a text item (still for the Gnome Canvas) which uses Cairo and Pango for rendering. Hopefully, this code might be useful for GtkCanvas if it exists one day ;-) Best regards, Jean _______________________________________________ gtk-devel-list mailing list gtk-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list
