+GNU libxmi is a C/C++ function library for rasterizing 2-D vector graphics. It
+can draw 2-D graphical primitives, including wide polygonal lines and circular
+and elliptical arcs, into a user-supplied matrix of pixels. Sophisticated line
+styles, such as multicolored dashing patterns, can be specified. There is also
+support for filling and texturing polygons.
+
+It can be used as a drop-in rendering module in any application that needs to
+scan-convert 2-D vector graphics. It is highly customizable. For example, the
+`pixel' datatype can be redefined at compile time. The algorithm used for
+compositing pixels can be redefined too. By default, libxmi uses the
+Painter's Algorithm (a new pixel value replaces an old one). But it would be
+trivial to install it so that it uses alpha compositing instead. The package,
+and its header file xmi.h, include full documentation.
