tutorial on gnome canvas?

["Christopher T. Lansdown" <lansdoct screech cs alfred edu>]

Hi,
	Is there a tutorial around on the gnome canvas?  I'm interested in
things like:
	*What's the best way to get a repeating background.
	*Is it more efficient to stick all of the widgets on to a very large
canvas and let the canvas draw what is appropriate or to remove them.
	Thanks.
	-Chris
