The OpenVG one is very interesting and if development continues it could be very useful once desktop hardware acceleration becomes available. At that point, I see it likely that SDL and PyGame will implement the creation of OpenVG surfaces in a similar way that they now allow the creation of OpenGL surfaces. I do, however, wonder at the interoperability of OpenGL and OpenVG. . . In any case, right now I`m mosting interesting in the rendering of static SVG images. Features like picking would be nice, though. . . -Daniel
