Subject: Re: Graphics... why so shrouded in mystery?

Or if you are looking for a drag-and-drop visual environment for GUI 
design, you could look at WideStudio - it's a full environment for 
exactly that (and is not restricted to Ruby - works with C/C++/Java, etc.)

The window there will give you a canvas that should let you draw 
whatever you want.

Cheers,
Mohit.
