When you create the scalar you get a little black box on a canvas. With
a canvas field like I described, you can right-click the scalar and
choose "Open" to show a canvas window.

while trying to create [struct foo float x float y canvas a b], i get:
canvas: no such type, using pd 0.46.6 what am I missing?
