    objects, evaluating the user's configuration preferences from

    <code>/org.openoffice.VCL/Settings/Canvas/PreferredServices</code>.

    The latter specifies a string list of service names to use.

    <p>
    Instantiating this service, you can use its
    <type scope="com::sun::star::lang">XMultiComponentFactory</type>
    interface to create <type>Canvas</type> objects, passing an empty string
    as service specifier (default).
    If you want to manually override the configured service list, you can pass
    a service name to try first.
