goo_canvas_request_update ()

void
goo_canvas_request_update (GooCanvas *canvas);

This function is only intended to be used by subclasses of GooCanvas or GooCanvasItem implementations.

If is_static is FALSE this function behaves the same as goo_canvas_request_redraw().

goo_canvas_get_default_line_width ()

gdouble
