Tango Graphics Package

[Mike Parker]

Dear D community

Tango is going visual! Headless visual! With the addition of a general 
purpose 2D graphics package, Tango users will be able to generate 2D 
images on the fly for use in a variety of applications, on the server or 
the desktop. The package supports basic 2D primitives, complex shapes, 
fonts, alpha-blending, transformations, paths, styles, and other common 
2D graphics operations. The design is inspired by several existing APIs, 
such as Java2D and OpenVG, so anyone who has experience with other APIs 
should be able to get up and running quickly.

The API is designed to support third-party implementations for cases 
when the default (software) implementation does not fit the bill. These 
additional implementations are free to accelerate both the buffering and 
the rendering, and an OpenGL wrapper will likely be provided for those 
systems with OpenGL support. All implementations will support headless 
systems.
