I also wonder if this method wouldn't be the most convenient one to
provide (arbitrary) clipping in libggi2d. It may be.
Furthermore, as this clipping may be done in the last stage of the 2D
rendering process (after the algorithmic processing that prduces the
pixels of the required shape), I further wonder if libxmi cannot be used
for libggi2d. The second stage of the rendering process furnished by
libxmi can be customized apparently (at least, according to the
documentation).
But well, I guess Jon will have a better opinion than me as soon as he
starts to have a closer look at libggi2d; and I won't push libxmi ahead
further. (I've already done it enough. :-)
