Ever tried to create a graphics library - only to find that even drawing a simple line requires a degree in mathematics? What if I tell you you can make a fully fledged graphics library in less than 200 lines, providing high quality vector graphics files which can be used in a plethora of application programs?

 Hans -
 I believe you said in passing that you didn't like PostScript, but didn't elaborate. Just curious if you have any detailed comments about using PostScript for graphics.

Not really. It was actually as brief as I described in the video. Didn't feel like I could quickly get that one going, so I moved to the next option. And yes, I immediately fell in love with SVG.
Of course I don't think it's impossible to get things going in PS, the question is - how much time do I want to put into it? Especially if I got the functionality of vector graphics covered.
