On a related note: Has anyone tried Anti-Grain Geometry in combination
with Lua?

I dabbled with it. High-quality output, fast rendering,
platform-independent, liberal license; all good. But it's very
low-level and dependent on C++. I don't think you could hope to make a
direct Lua binding for it because it makes heavy use of templates for
efficiency. I'd like at some point to have a go at some higher-level
canvas abstraction which would be more amenable to scripting and use
Antigrain for rendering. Or maybe VCF will do if they ever release
their Linux port.

I am catching my backlog of Lua messages, so maybe this has been already answered...

http://www.point.com.mk/aggplus/ "is a set of classes and code emulation of Gdi+, based over the excellent Anti-Grain Geometry". It provides a C++ emulation of GDI+ flat API, which may be this "higher-level canvas abstraction" you are looking for.
Or not :-)
