Has anyone considered porting Agg (http://www.antigrain.com/) to D?
There is a Pascal http://aggpas.org/
and C# port http://agg-sharp.sourceforge.net/

It would be a good Graphic api library for D.

Cheers,

I've thought about briefly, but that's about it.
I used the C++ version and thought it was pretty cool, but after that I pretty much don't want to ever have to use that API again.   So if I were to port it, I'd probably port Agg2D as well, which puts a reasonable API on top of AGG.

I'm also not wild about the change in licence, which serves to zap my motivation.  I'd be more interested in a 2.4 than a 2.5 port.

I've always thought it'd make a fun and educational (for me) project to port this api, maybe I'm going to do it someday. There is also a graphics api scheduled for tango btw.
