Re: [libvirt] [Qemu-devel] Re: Libvirt debug API

For the sake of my analogy, I'd still group cairo in with gtk, not x11. It is really just a re-implmentation of the GDK drawing layer from GTK. It still provides a portable higher level abstraction over underlying graphics & rendering systems it supports. eg, again an app might do the majority of its drawing with Cairo, but occasionally need to jump outside to use XRender or OpenGL directly for pieces that aren't supported currently in the cairo API.
