The following methods must be implemented in the backend for full functionality (though just implementing draw_path
alone would give a highly capable backend):
draw_path
draw_image
draw_gouraud_triangle
The following methods should be implemented in the backend for optimization reasons:
draw_text
draw_markers
draw_path_collection
draw_quad_mesh
An abstract base class to handle drawing/rendering operations.
The following pages refer to to this document either explicitly or contain code examples using this.

Hover to see nodes names; edges to Self not shown, Caped at 50 nodes.
Using a canvas is more power efficient and can get hundred of nodes ; but does not allow hyperlinks; , arrows or text (beyond on hover)
SVG is more flexible but power hungry; and does not scale well to 50 + nodes.
All aboves nodes referred to, (or are referred from) current nodes; Edges from Self to other have been omitted (or all nodes would be connected to the central node "self" which is not useful). Nodes are colored by the library they belong to, and scaled with the number of references pointing them
