Hi,

I am new to developing for inkscape and was wondering about drawing to the canvas. I've been digging through the src and have figured a few things out but I am still unclear as to which #include files I need add specifically and what the proper functions to call are. Any help would be much appreciated.

Conceptually doing this might be different than you might think. The main approach is to create objects in a tree, and then whenever needed the objects will be drawn by the system.

So... we don't really 'draw' to canvas, but instead create shape objects that can appear on demand.
