There are some other options:
- tkpath
- and one that I don't remeber the name. Maybe others can tell you. It
is a binary extension of a french or belgium company/university that
uses it for either aviation systems or trains, I unsure here.

This is Tk under X11 (with tkpath 0.2.9):
http://gestaltitems.sourceforge.net/pictures/white.png
or as a printable SVG:
http://gestaltitems.sourceforge.net/pictures/white.SVG

TkZinc is based on OpenGL, the anti-aliasing isn't quite as
good as with cairo (tkpath), but transformations are exceptional
well done -- there is a patent covering TkZinc's transformations.

Hi there,

If you're looking to develop apps to run on Linux, under Gnome then
why not try Gnocl (www.gnocl.org). This will provide you with
completely Gnome compliant applications that have the look and feel
expected based upon individual theme settings.
