      \brief A canvas is an abstraction of a drawing area.

      What is a Canvas?

      It is an abstraction of a drawing area. You can use it to:
      <ul>
      <li>draw geographical objects from a layer, with a given visual (or style);</li>
      <li>draw texts;</li>
      <li>draw the map legend;</li>
      <li>create a chart.</li>
      </ul>

      The Canvas can be viewed as one of the rendering surface
      used by an application to show a map.
