Mabe I misunderstand something, but if you decouple KCanvasElement from the
actual renderer, you have to
make the document classes (KCanvasDocument / VDocument) a more complex class
hierarchy than I thought.
My idea was to make KCanvasDocument itself a rather "intelligent" class, at
least it could handle rendering by calling the appropriate rendering methods
from its canvas elements. Because the document knows enough about its
elements, it could handle things like optimized rendering (drawing only the
parts which are afected from the latest changes.
I your proposal you seem to have to implement this functionality in children
of KCanasDocument, i.e. in KarbonDocument, UmbrelloDocument, KiioDocument,
separately?
