Main canvas widget

The 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. This widget can be used for flexible display of graphics and for creating interactive user interface elements. To create a new GnomeCanvas widget call or for an anti-aliased mode canvas. A widget contains one or more objects. Items consist of graphing elements like lines, ellipses, polygons, images, text, and curves. These items are organized using objects, which are themselves derived from . Since a group is an item it can be contained within other groups, forming a tree of canvas items. Certain operations, like translating and scaling, can be performed on all items in a group. There is a special root group created by a GnomeCanvas. This is the top level group under which all items in a canvas are contained. To get the root group from a canvas, use property. There are several different coordinate systems used by widgets. The primary system is a logical, abstract coordinate space called world coordinates. World coordinates are expressed as unbounded double floating point numbers. When it comes to rendering to a screen the canvas pixel coordinate system (also referred to as just canvas coordinates) is used. This system uses integers to specify screen pixel positions. A user defined scaling factor and offset are used to convert between world coordinates and canvas coordinates. Each item in a canvas has its own coordinate system called item coordinates. This system is specified in world coordinates but they are relative to an item (0.0, 0.0 would be the top left corner of the item). The final coordinate system of interest is window coordinates. These are like canvas coordinates but are offsets from within a window a canvas is displayed in. This last system is rarely used, but is useful when manually handling GDK events (such as drag and drop) which are specified in window coordinates (the events processed by the canvas are already converted for you). Along with different coordinate systems comes functions to convert between them. converts world to canvas pixel coordinates and from canvas to world. is like but returns the pixel coordinates as doubles which is useful to avoid precision loss from integer rounding. To get the affine transform matrix for converting from world coordinates to canvas coordinates call . converts from window to world coordinates and converts in the other direction. There are no functions for converting between canvas and window coordinates, since this is just a matter of subtracting the canvas scrolling offset. To convert to/from item coordinates use the functions defined for objects. To set the canvas zoom factor (canvas pixels per world unit, the scaling factor) use the property, setting this to 1.0 will cause the two coordinate systems to correspond (e.g., [5, 6] in pixel units would be [5.0, 6.0] in world units). Defining the scrollable area of a canvas widget is done by calling and to get the current region can be used. If the window is larger than the canvas scrolling region it can optionally be centered in the window. Use the property to enable or disable this behavior. To scroll to a particular canvas pixel coordinate use (typically not used since scrollbars are usually set up to handle the scrolling), and to get the current canvas pixel scroll offset call .

Gets or Sets the number of pixels that correspond to one canvas unit.

a The anchor point for zooming, i.e. the point that stays fixed and all others zoom inwards or outwards from it, depends on whether the canvas is set to center the scrolling region or not. You can control this using the function. If the canvas is set to center the scroll region, then the center of the canvas window is used as the anchor point for zooming. Otherwise, the upper-left corner of the canvas window is used as the anchor point.
