DESCRIPTION
===========
Libart is a library for high-performance 2D graphics. It is currently
being used as the antialiased rendering engine for the Gnome Canvas. It
is also the rendering engine for Gill, the Gnome Illustration app.

Libart is free software (all components are either GPL or LGPL).
Libart is also available for commercial licensing. Raph Levien owns the
copyright to the libart code base, his website is
http://www.levien.com/libart/. 

Libart supports a very powerful imaging model, basically the same as SVG
and the Java 2D API. It includes all PostScript imaging operations, and
adds antialiasing and alpha-transparency. 

Libart is also highly tuned for incremental rendering. It contains data
structures and algorithms suited to rapid, precise computation of Region
of Interest, as well as a two-phase rendering pipeline optimized for
interactive display.
