Description

The canvas is the toplevel entity of an ADG drawing. It can be bound to a GTK+ widget, such as AdgGtkArea, or manually rendered to a custom surface.

Tipically, the canvas contains the description and properties of the media used, such as such as size (if relevant), margins, border and paddings. This approach clearly follows the block model of the CSS specifications level 2.

The paddings specify the distance between the entities contained by the canvas and the border. The margins specify the distance between the canvas border and the media extents.

The canvas (hence the media) size can be explicitely specified by directly writing to the "size" property or using any valid setter, such as adg_canvas_set_size(), adg_canvas_set_size_explicit() or the convenient adg_canvas_set_paper() GTK+ wrapper. You can also set explicitely only one dimension and let the other one be computed automatically. This is done by using the special value 0 that specifies a side must be autocalculated.

By default either width and height must be autocalculated (are set to 0), so the arrange() phase on the canvas is performed. Margins and paddings are then added to the extents to get the border coordinates and the final bounding box.

When the size is explicitely set, instead, the final bounding box is forcibly set to this value without taking the canvas extents into account. The margins are then subtracted to get the coordinates of the border. In this case, the paddings are simply ignored.

AdgCanvas

typedef struct _AdgCanvas AdgCanvas;

All fields are private and should not be used directly. Use its public methods instead.

adg_canvas_set_size_explicit ()

void                adg_canvas_set_size_explicit        (AdgCanvas *canvas,
                                                         gdouble x,
                                                         gdouble y);

Sets the "title-block" property of canvas to title_block.

Although a title block entity could be added to canvas in the usual way, that is using the adg_container_add() method, assigning a title block with adg_canvas_set_title_block() is somewhat different:

- title_block will be automatically attached to the bottom right corner of to the canvas frame (this could be accomplished in the usual way too, by resetting the right and bottom paddings); - the title_block boundary box is not taken into account while computing the extents of canvas.
