drawing to a gdkpixbuf

["Chris Garrett" <garrett91 hotmail com>]

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knew of any libraries that allow shapes to be 
drawn on gdkpixbufs (ie. lines, rectangles etc).  Preferably, anti-aliasing 
would be used.  I cannot find any in the gdk or gtk libraries.

gdkpixmap is unsatisfactory for my purposes, since it cannot be used with 
gnome-canvas, and is server-side (hence pixel manipulation is difficult).  I 
could convert between gdkpixbuf and gdkpixmap but that seems wasteful for my 
purposes.  In addition to this, I do not want to deal with the limitations 
of X until I come to display the image.  I want to be quite accurate in the 
colours and pixels used on the image itself.

I suspect I will need to write my own drawing functions, but if there is any 
code out there dealing with this issue, it would be good to know about it.

Thankyou in advance,

Chris.
