10. pixel control

11. line drawing
Bresenham line algorithm

12. anti-aliased line drawing
Xiaolin Wu's line algorithm

13. polygon rasterization

14. path rasterization

15. transformation
Scaling Rotation Perspective

16. perspective transformation

17. optimizations

18. blazing fast recipes
● alternative/faster code path
● avoid text layout whenever possible
● malloc-free common operations
● auto-adjustment of quality vs speed

19. hardware support & abstraction
pixmap GLtexture VGImage
layer display list VGPath
FBO
optimize further with smart caching

20. use-cases guided profiling
app -graphicssystem trace
qttracereplay painting.trace
cairo-trace –profile app
cairo-perf-trace painting.trace
