Tutorial 5 uses a drawing canvas for a whiteboard, so similar to this. What you are asking about it more Vector drawing. > So would Gnoga allow us to create something similar (but simpler) to Visi= o ? > Create boxes and link them with arrows all in a web browser ? Yes. You could do it from scratch using SVG (see test/svg_demo.adb) but it = is probably better to leverage existing JS libraries and just bind them usi= ng Gnoga. I will likely at some point soon create a binding to :=20 http://jsplumbtoolkit.com Which is very much in line with what you want. That is the beauty of Gnoga, you are now able to leverage every existing JS= library out there and so are always able to create far richer desktop or w= eb apps than any existing UI framework such as Gtk, etc. (BTW, you can easi= ly turn any Gnoga app in to a Gtk app or Mac OS X app using the webkit widg= et with a simple recompile see the docs dir for the native gtk doc :) With Gnoga, I'm like Lady Ada in a candy store, I can pick from thousands o= f open source or even commercial JS components actively developed and insta= ntly use them for my projects or bind them for even easier use in Ada and b= y others.
