I wish Emacs would provide a canvas like API to draw in buffers. That way integrated graphics could be easily added. This would create a completely new Emacs experience.

There is an Artist Mode for Emacs. The "pictures" are ASCII-esque ;) http://www.cinsk.org/emacs/emacs-artist.html

I know. But for serious application a real drawing capability is needed. This should actually be possible to implement on top of the GTK+ layer.
