CanvasActor
A CanvasActor is a special kind of Actor that can scroll its content around as well as dock its content to its edges, CanvasActor’s are designed for creating user interfaces. CanvasActor is derived from Actor thus inherits all of its properties, methods and so on. Not that any actors that are docked and are added to a CanvasActor will be docked against the edges of the CanvasActor instead of the Scene.
