Hi all,

I just started to play around with gtkcairo because I got stuck with some limitations of the gnome-canvas that I hope to be able to solve when developing a cairo based canvas.

My current aims are: * get a high level canvas using cairo * get rid of issues like we have in gnome-canvas (e.g. text cannot zoom) * have a gnome-canvas-like api * use gobject interfaces for some things and lots of signals to make extending more easy (e.g. 'zoom canged' signal would have helped to fix the GnomeCanvasText things)

I'm playing around within the criawips CVS repository on cvs.gnome.org. There's neither something that works yet nor much stuff, I just want to tell you about my plan to be able to get feedback before I introduce some issues that you had with something similar.

The code is located in the criawips/src directory and consists of the cc-* files.

Regards, Sven
