I'd recomend the foocanvas module.  It is being autoimported into
gnumeric and eel (nautilus) now and has exactly the same layout and
api as the primary canvas.  It would be a good place area to work on
this in a way that could easily be pulled into major apps.

Frankly I have my doubts about the feasibility of using the same
code to print and draw.  In Gnumeric I had to do a fair amount of
careful work to handle the different coordinate systems.

    X coordinates are integer lines starting at the pixel specified.

    PS coordinates are for an infinitely thin line centered at the
    point specified.

without this the borders looked funky.
