Thanks Konstantin. Your backing helps a lot. I've finally figured out how to emulate the STRAIGHT blend method operation in Cairo. It is an important milestone because I'm confident on being able to emulate the Synfig's blend methods that aren't directly supported by Cairo just using a combination of Cairo's operators. This means that the performance when blending can have the full benefit of use Cairo native API. It is possible that some of the Synfig's blend methods gets difficult to emulate or impossible but I hope they would be the less used.
