Hi, In my research for my Google Summer of Code project, I stumbled across this discussion on the Neko list:
interface, well- how about cairo? there are two options i could see that could give us best of both; both of them could be vaguely described as "having agg as a backend for cairo". a) cairo-agg- antigrain as a "proper" backend for cairo, using cairo's backend API. cario currently sports a software-renderer, glitz and postscript. if agg is better than the cairo softrenderer, this would make sense.
I just thought I'd let you know that my SoC project is in fact precisely to create an Antigrain Cairo backend surface, and possibly to write some hardware acceleration functions for specific areas with performance bottlenecks. So hopefully by the end of August you'll have this tool at your disposal. Regards, -- Eric Hielscher http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~hielsche -- Neko : One VM to run them all (http://nekovm.org)
