INSTALLATION

You need to install the typelib file for GooCanvas-2.0. For example on Debian/Ubuntu it should be necessary to install the following package:

        sudo apt-get install gir1.2-goocanvas-2.0

On Mageia for example you have to install:

        urpmi lib64goocanvas-gir2.0

DESCRIPTION

GooCanvas2 is a new canvas widget for use with Gtk3 that uses the Cairo 2d library for drawing. This is a simple and basic implementation of this wonderful Canvas widget.

For more informations see <https://wiki.gnome.org/action/show/Projects/GooCanvas>

For instructions, how to use GooCanvas2, please study the API reference at <https://developer.gnome.org/goocanvas/unstable/> for now. A perl-specific documentation will perhaps come in later versions. But applying the C documentation should be no problem.

OBJECTS, ITEMS, MODELS

The GooCanvas2 module provides the following objects, items and models. For more details see <https://wiki.gnome.org/action/show/Projects/GooCanvas>.

Core Objects

GooCanvas2::Canvas - the main canvas widget
GooCanvas2::CanvasItem - the interface for canvas items
GooCanvas2::CanvasItemModel - the interface for canvas item models.
GooCanvas2::CanvasItemSimple - the base class for the standard canvas items.
GooCanvas2::CanvasItemModelSimple - the base class for the standard canvas item models.
GooCanvas2::CanvasStyle - support for cascading style properties for canvas items.

Standard Canvas Items

GooCanvas2::CanvasGroup - a group of items.
GooCanvas2::CanvasEllipse - an ellipse item.
GooCanvas2::CanvasGrid - a grid item.
GooCanvas2::CanvasImage - an image item.
GooCanvas2::CanvasPath - a path item (a series of lines and curves).

Development status and informations

Customizations and overrides

In order to make things more Perlish, GooCanvas2 customizes the API generated by Glib::Object::Introspection in a few spots:

•: The array ref normally returned by the following functions is flattened into a list:

GooCanvas2::Canvas::get_items_at
GooCanvas2::Canvas::get_items_in_area
GooCanvas2::CanvasItem::get_items_at
GooCanvas2::CanvasItem::class_list_child_properties
GooCanvas2::CanvasItemModell::class_list_child_properties
