Great ! The coding style seems similar to the one I was thinking of using. With the exception of the capitalization in first letter of the methods (but that's only small details). By the way, another thing that I tough of was the possibility to have automatic status checks (after any operation that might fail) and react to that failure by (optionaly) throwing an exception. I think this is a good idea, but as I don't have too much experience using cairo i'm still unsure. It's certainly a better way of checking for error conditions, but cairo seems to be able to keep going even if certain errors occurs (say, cairo_create() is called when cairo_status()==<code class="literal">CAIRO_STATUS_NO_MEMORY</code>). This could eventualy be made in a way it was possible to disable the checks with a #define or with a simple bool in the wrapper class. What do you think of this ? If you need any help, just ask.
