I am working on vector routines too.  In fact, the main module was done =

some time ago, but I haven't posted it because I am not too happy with =

one small part of it (arc drawing).  It is geared more to business and
technical =

graphics than to games.  It does lines, polygons, rectangles, circles, ar=
cs
and =

text.  The closed shapes can be either be filled or outlined.  The lines
can be =

any color, width or style (dotted, etc).  Even the text can be done with
styled =

lines!

I have also worked up a file format for vector drawings which supports al=
l
the =

above features and enables scaling, rotation and panning of entire vector=

drawings.  =

Still to be done:  PCL print routine.

I would like to see your work.  Also, If anyone is interested, I could po=
st
my stuff
(even though it is a work in progress).
