PIDDLE stands for "Plug-In Drawing, Does Little Else," and is an API
for drawing on canvas like surfaces. It offers a single API to many
different canvases, including PostScript, PDF, PIL images, OpenGL,
QuickDraw, wxPython (the modern GTK+ based version), Tk, PythonWin,
and Adobe Illustrator files.
I've written a PIDDLE backend for PyGTK that draws onto a
double-buffered, resizeable GtkDrawingArea. It's preliminary, so it
doesn't have a version number yet (!), but seems to get most things
right. It doesn't support rotated text or images (PIDDLE requires
support for placing PIL images onto the canvas, and I haven't had time
to play with that yet).
