    1 Gaphor Canvas 
    2 ============= 
     1Gaphor's Canvas 
     2=============== 
    33 
    44This module contains a new canvas implementation for Gaphor. 
    …… 
    66The basic idea is: 
    77 
    8 - Items (canvas items) should be used as "adapter" for model elements. 
    9   (not a real adapter since they are stateful). 
    10 - The canvas determines the tree structure (which items are children 
    11   of some other item is maintained by the canvas itself). 
    12 - of course the constraint solver is present. 
    13 - more modular: e.g. handle support could be swapped in and swapped out. 
    14 - rendering using Cairo. 
    15  
    16 Gaphas is released under the terms of the GNU Library General Public License 
    17 (LGPL). See the COPYING file for details. 
     8- Items (canvas items) can be added to a Canvas. 
     9- The canvas maintains the tree structure (parent-child relationships between 
     10  items). 
     11- A constraint solver is used to maintain item constraints and inter-item 
     12  constraints. 
     13- The item (user) should not be bothered with things like bounding-box 
     14  calculations. 
     15- Very modular: e.g. handle support could be swapped in and swapped out. 
     16- Rendering using Cairo.

     18 Gaphas is released under the terms of the GNU Library General Public License 
     19 (LGPL). See the COPYING file for details.
