Re: Draw in a GdkPixbuf

[James Scott Jr <skoona verizon net>]

Ok,

http://cairographics.org/examples/
http://live.gnome.org/GtkCairoIntegration

These links have some examples of using everything from a raw image to a
pdf as the backend in cairo from the command line -- without the use of
gtk.

Hope this fits your need better than my last response.

James,
