LC is pretty good able to do straight lines, curves, and even quadratic or cubic Bezier curves ...

Could you please give a hint where we can find a postscript library or PDF library that has at about the level that ALejandro reached with his SVG library?
It is in LC on linux not even possible to display a simple PDF. An SVG? Yes.
