2.6 Module `canvas`

One of the central modules for the PostScript access in PyX is named canvas. Besides providing the class canvas, which presents a collection of visual elements like paths, other canvases, TEX or L^ATEX elements, it contains the class canvas.clip which allows clipping of the output.

A canvas may also be embedded in another one using its insert method. This may be useful when you want to apply a transformation on a whole set of operations..
