+The GNOME canvas 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. Applications have a choice between
+the Xlib imaging model or a superset of the PostScript imaging
+model, depending on the level of graphic sophistication
+required.
