This is the floatcanvas package. It provides two primary modules, and a
support module.
-FloatCanvas.py contains the main FloatCanvas class, and it's supporting
+FloatCanvas.py contains the main FloatCanvas class, and its supporting
classes. NavCanvas.py contains a wrapper for the FloatCanvas that
provides the canvas and a toolbar with tools that allow you to navigate
the canvas (zooming, panning, etc.) Resources.py is a module that
something else are very quick.
It relies on NumPy, which is needed for speed (maybe, I haven't profiled
-it). It will also use numarray, if you don't have Numeric, but it is
-slower.

drawing it. This makes it a great deal faster when there are a lot of
objects and you are zoomed in so that only a few are shown.
-One solution is to be able to pass some sort of object set to the DC
-directly. I've used DC.DrawPointList(Points), and it helped a lot with
-drawing lots of points. However, when zoomed in, the Bounding boxes need
-to be checked, so I may some day write C++ code that does the loop and
-checks the BBs.

Mouse Events:
-At this point, there are a full set of custom mouse events. They are
-just like the regular mouse events, but include an extra attribute:
-Event.GetCoords(), that returns the (x,y) position in world coordinates,
-as a length-2 NumPy vector of Floats.
