It's currently got the low-level idea of an offscreen Pixmap into which the app can draw by calling "with_canvas". The Pixmap captures an image of the drawing, and you can then use it to draw on other surfaces. I think one way to go would be to add PDFCanvas (a subclass of Canvas which draws into a PDF stream), and then PDF, which would be similar to Pixmap, in that it would have a "with_canvas" method which would capture the drawing in PDF form. The PDF class would also have a method to save it to a file. Actually, creating these two classes could be done right now; they're independent of the platform. Or I suppose you could do Print and PrintCanvas classes, which would be bound to platform-specific printing streams. But that seems overkill to me. Or Postscript, or SVG. Whatever's good. SVG would be an interesting choice. Hmmm, lots of ideas here...
