Rather, I would be in favor of a simple graphic frame that could be used like in good old times we used to draw directly on the video -- when this was easy to do, just using x,y pixel coordinates. Optionnally, a set of plotting/drawing routines, including vector image primitives.

I'm working on some basic graphic-routines in d
inspired by

Maybe this will be helpfull!
