No, thats not what I need :(
I'm looking for a device which allws manipulating an vector graphic
(adding,changing,removing objects) and then automatically renders
it to the actual output device (raster image / framebuffer,
postscript, etc, etc) when necessary.
In this model the client doesnt actually draw an image, but just
operates on an (changeable) vector graphic. Things like scaling,
resizing (even funny effects like deformed windows while moving)
all are done by the display server - the client just sees object
vectors in an continous 2D space.
