Why not to use simply XLIB?? Look with a minimum of deps, one can easily do a sort of powerful vector graphics. To compile mine (which is still too basic), I use only: gcc -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 x11vectgfx.c -o x11vectgfx ; ./x11vectgfx The problem I have with Xfig and Xpaint is that it d

I think the code is probably horrendous, but I kind of like xfig, it has a kind of brutal simplicity, but it can still handle complex drawings well. Incidentally, I've used it to export postscript that was then templated using the {{tags}} entered in xfig directly cheers aes

Hej Guys, Some 5-7 years ago, we coded a lightweight vector graphic soft that was based on Xlib. It used some key bindings of Adobe Illustrator, but it was really too basic for anything. We are coding a new one which is based on SDL, but project dvlpt is really slow. Whatsoever I can use those 2

As a back-end and syntax. TikZ actually is quite simple. A lot of people find it difficult to use, but practice makes perfect. To me it seems to be the most sophisticated front-end around for drawing vector graphics. I guess it's a matter of taste, but I prefer to write some TikZ code instead of u

BTW, the choice of the gfx toolkit will be critical. Unfortunately, the C toolkits over there are turning very bad: GTK+ and the EFL do depend on harfbuzz for their font layout computation which is an *really* ugly c++ object-oriented brainfuckage (uglier that the glib SDK dependencies!). I did a

Basically you could produce output suitable for imagemagick and your favorite shell script / script interpreter / valid c code. Although, Imagemagick isn't self-hosted like SVG yet, because it has yet no functionality for executing images itself...
