Hi,

Today, during a brief chat with Barend we discussed that it may be
a good idea to find libgd replacement. We complained that GIL should
provide basic support for vector rendering.

There is one - OpenCV extension for GIL:

Interestingly, it uses GGL in testing geometry drawing :-)

http://gil-contributions.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/gil_2/libs/gil/opencv/unit_test/geometry_test.cpp

Unfortunately, it drags OpenCV (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenCV) as
a dependency.

All extensions are hosted here:

As Lubomir confirms, valuable extensions may be included in GIL in future:
