Aside from the mem device, there is also extcairo which allows you to provide your own Cairo surface to plot on. > 2.: Can something like > http://cairographics.org/samples/rounded_rectangle/ be done with PLplot > easily? If yes, what are the keywords here? Given the current PLplot API, this would have to be done by Cairo directly using the extcairo device, or approximated with polygons. > 3.: How feature-rich is text rendering in PLplot? Something like > http://cairographics.org/samples/text/ is possible (different text fill > and outline color)? I'm not sure about this one. I do not think that PLplot has this specific functionality built in. This could be attained by using Cairo directly with the extcairo device. > 4.: Text rendering is done by PLplot, or entirely by the selected > device? If by device, is it possible to use cairo with pango from PLplot? > Text rendering for the Cairo-based output devices is done with Cairo + Pango by default. I hope this helps!
