Ah, never heard of it (cairo, that is, except as a city) but that looks
interesting. So this could be a third option (other than Tk and OpenGL).
I wonder how fast it is (they say they have "experimental backends of
OpenGL and Quartz", otherwise we would be back with X, which is pretty
much what Tk gives you). And (Tim points out) we'd have to make sure we
can render it inside a Tk widget (that ought to be possible, I would have
thought).
