Doodle has released a new OS/2 drop of the Cairo Graphics library on
the Netlabs ftp server.

"Cairo is a 2D graphics library with support for multiple output
devices. Currently supported output targets include the X Window
System, win32, and image buffers. Experimental backends include OpenGL
(through glitz), Quartz, XCB, PostScript and PDF file output.
Cairo is designed to produce consistent output on all output media
while taking advantage of display hardware acceleration when available
(eg. through the X Render Extension).
The cairo API provides operations similar to the drawing operators of
PostScript and PDF. Operations in cairo including stroking and filling
cubic Bézier splines, transforming and compositing translucent images,
and antialiased text rendering. All drawing operations can be
transformed by any affine transformation (scale, rotation, shear,
etc.)
Cairo is implemented as a library written in the C programming
language, but bindings are available for several different programming
languages.
Cairo is free software and is available to be redistributed and/or
modified under the terms of either the GNU Lesser General Public
License (LGPL) version 2.1 or the Mozilla Public License (MPL) version
1.1. "
