As far as i understand you are especially looking for rendering vector 
graphics. In this case i would redirect you back to Rob. :)

 What i had in mind was a real core library containing all the real core 
math/algortihm stuff (creating path shapes, fitting/approximation, 
transformations, boolean operations) without any dependencies to kde/qt so 
that all the vector apps out there don't need to reinvent the complicated but 
fun stuff again and again anymore.
We nearly have this situation in karbon14, rendering and loading/saving are 
"external" operations. The real path-engine is not dependant on this.

But i don't think that you are looking for that alone?

Bye
Lenny, who doesn't really know the aim.
