I've never been fond of things like the Tkinter canvas that
come with their own data structure. Usually I already have
a data structure of my own, and all I want is a place to
draw it.

It's a destination for immediate-mode output-only drawing
with Postscript-like primitives. It's much simpler than
a Tkinter canvas -- more like an X11 drawable or a
Windows device context.
