"Mozilla Cairo Vector Graphics Update"
"Robert "roc" O'Callahan has posted an update on the work to move Mozilla's graphics infrastructure to Cairo. Formerly known as Xr or Xr/Xc, Cairo is a cross-platform open-source vector graphics library. According to roc, migrating to Cairo will "give us modern 2D graphics capabilities (such as filling, stroking and clipping to paths, general affine transforms, and ubiquitious support for alpha transparency)." Cairo can send its output to a number of different backends, making it suitable for producing graphics for both screen and print. By utilising the Glitz library, Cairo can draw hardware-accelerated graphics with OpenGL, allowing Mozilla to take advantage of modern 3D display hardware."
