> as noted before, page already handles ps/pdf. this is true. however i wouldn't mind seeing some way of doing nice looking drawing under plan 9 (not that i'm implying that display pdf is suitably lightweight!). the draw ops implemented by /dev/draw are not really good for anything except crude looking diagrams - jaggies galore, and not enough positioning accuracy. by way of illustration, observe how the implementation of line() needs to use sub-pixel accuracy in order to get reasonable looking arrows.
i reckon you could strip out ellipse, line and polygon from devdraw and almost nothing would notice. but replacing them is quite a bit of work...
