Daniel is right, there is no website, only the page on sourceforge.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/goocanvas

Goocanvas is now at version 0.7.0 but is going towards a 1.0 release
with stable API (Damon said in a month or so), is full of nice
examples including the functionality your are asking for and much
more, the docs cover 100% of the API.

In case you are interested in other programming languages there are
also bindings for python and C++, ruby bindings are under
construction, these are the ones I'm aware of.

cheers
