If you call that a problem. The strength of the PalmOS is its simplicity. I'll quote
it again, "The only thing worst than a Palm
user expecting Pentium performance is a Palm developer expecting the API of a Sun

rendering engine in the next OS release, "It's a 16 MHz, 16 bit machine!"

roadcoders.com and palmgear.com have good source code directories. Good luck!

GNU land has TONS of these things ready and willing for the taking. Start at
www.gnu.org and search under "graphics algorithms".
Also the Graphics Gems book series has very good white paper essays about subject like
this just waiting for Palm implementation.
