  This is a painting/drawing sort of window, so on input it needs to
handle mouse movement and buttons, keyboard, and menu.  On output it
needs to draw various things.  Then there is the general window
housekeeping.  It makes for a large package and doesn't break into
obvious pieces.
.
  The question is more general, though: Do non-trivial OO objects
always lead to large packages.
