<h2>Canvas</h2>
<p>
With the help of a <code>GC</code> it is possible to draw on a
<code>Canvas</code> widget.
The usual functions like dots, lines, (rounded) rectangles, ovals, polylines,
arcs, text and images are supported. All shapes can be outlined or (when
closed) filled with any color and opacity.
