As already stated in some blogs [1], Canola will be using Evas for it's next version. So why not have a GtkCanvas? As i said in the <a href="http://andrunko.blogspot.com/2007/09/creating-transitions-with-gtk.html">previous post</a>, I together with <a href="http://tuxrecife.blogspot.com/">Renato</a> already started creating a GtkTransition class. Together with a Canvas implementation you can create really nice animations really easy. I will be posting a video of an example application soon.<br /><br />So if you are interested on this topic see this <a href="http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2007-September/msg00040.html">thread</a> on gtk-devel mailing list<br /></div><span class="sg"><br />[1]<br /><a href="http://www.marceloeduardo.com/blog/mobile-applications/canola-development-update-or-we-are-not-dead">http://www.marceloeduardo.com/blog/mobile-applications/canola-development-update-or-we-are-not-dead</a></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13700803-2415228528399915861?l=andrunko.blogspot.com'/></div>Andre Moreira Magalhaes (andrunko)http://www.blogger.com/profile/14668638448861180171noreply@blogger.com1
