[plt-scheme] canvas editor with text-editor snips?

By drawing operations, you're referring to things like drawing lines
and circles and curves etc? For that you want a dc. To get one, either
override the on-paint method in the editor (text or pasteboard) or in
the display of the editor (editor-canvas or editor-snip).
