GDK Reference Manual - Cairo Interaction

"Cairo is a graphics library that supports vector graphics and image compositing
that can be used with GDK. Since 2.8, GTK+ does most of its drawing using
Cairo.

GDK does not wrap the Cairo API, instead it allows to create Cairo contexts
which can be used to draw on GDK drawables. Additional functions allow to
convert GDK's rectangles and regions into Cairo paths and to use pixbufs as
sources for drawing operations."

cairographics.org - cairo (News - Documentation - Examples)

"Cairo is a 2D graphics library with support for multiple output devices.

Currently supported output targets include the X Window System, Win32,
image buffers, PostScript, PDF, and SVG file output. Experimental backends
include OpenGL (through glitz), Quartz, and XCB.

The cairo API provides operations similar to the drawing operators of Post-
Script 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.)"
