QCavnas was deprecated with Qt4. QGraphicsScene and QGraphicsView are
the way to go.
That being said, I've been focusing on getting the basic
infrastructure/dbus/networking up and running first. I'd like to add
in bindings for the above, but realistically it won't happen for about
two-three weeks. I don't think there's a way to draw lines right now.
You're welcome to write up the bindings if you want, it should be
straightforward. You can already add in a QGraphicsView from the Qt
Designer, so all you really need are bindings for
QGraphicsView::scene() and then whichever bits of QGraphicsScene
(addLine, addRect, etc) that you want.
