+Cairo is a vector graphics library with cross-device output
+support. Currently supported output targets include the X Window
+System and in-memory image buffers. PostScript and PDF file output is
+planned. Cairo is designed to produce identical output on all output
+media while taking advantage of display hardware acceleration when
+available (eg. through the X Render Extension).
+
+Cairo provides a stateful user-level API with capabilities similar to
+the PDF 1.4 imaging model. Cairo provides operations including stroking
+and filling Bezier cubic splines, transforming and compositing translucent
+images, and antialiased text rendering.
