A PostScript-like API for the X Render Extension

Pivot writes: "Carl Worth and Keith Packard have started building a PostScript-like API for drawing using the X Render extension. There are two modules, called 'Xr' (the "rendering part") and 'Xc' (the "compositing part", which is a layer on top of Render which will eventually grow to a client-side Render emulator). The API supports only cubic Bezier splines, leaving other splines out of the library, similar to PostScript. Check out the initial announcement on the Render mailing list, and some example shots. Shurely this will remind some of NeWS, cowritten by another well known character."
