[cairo] Re: svg shootout

[Mauricio Piacentini]

Interesting link. I checked the main page

http://www.linuxrising.org/svg_test/

and it has this bit of information:

"libsvg-cairo is being deprecated in favour of Cairo-enabled librsvg, 
but included for completeness and comparison. "

Is this the opinion of the author of the test, or an official position 
of the maintainers of libsvg and libsvg-cairo?

I understand that librsvg has a simple and functional API, but I thought 
that with libsvg-cairo much more is possible. Am I mistaken? I 
considered for example the need to render svg at an angle (rotation), 
which is not possible directly with librsvg. Am I wrong to assume that 
doing this via libsvg-cairo (using cairo_rotate before you call 
svg_cairo_render) will produce better results than simply rendering to a 
pixmap via librsvg and then rotating it with affine transformation? I am 
not quite sure how it works internally, still studying it, so any 
pointers are appreciated.

Mauricio
