I cannot find any reference in this answer to the problem I have because 
for instance the scrollbars cannot move if even shown.
In the meantime I found on Internet references which suggest that the 
drawing area is in principle not a scrollable item so it should be 
inside a viewport. I have done so but my problem doesnot disappear. It 
looks to me now that the viewport or the drawingarea must have a size 
indication, so how to set initiate or even during runtime alter the size 
so that I get a scrollable drawing
