Heh, speaking of industry standards, I think that chart library can be done
much faster if it does not drawing at all, but writes SVG file. There are
several SVG renderers (amount free C/C++: librsvg and KSVG), that produce
nice antialised bitmaps.

Trying to directly produce image would require either interfacing to some
existing library, and the choice of library is tough, or writing a wrapper
layer, which can be hard as well.
