For high quality graphics, AGG (Anti-Grain Geometry, 
http://www.antigrain.com/ ) seems to be amongst the bests (I don't know 
how it competes with Cairo).
Some people has plans to make bindings to Lua, but we didn't see them 
yet (IIRC). Note that a binding to AggPlus 
<http://www.point.com.mk/aggplus/> might be easier: that's a wrapper 
around AGG to make it look like GDI+ (Microsoft's latest incarnation of 
GDI), including the flat API.
Alas for you, nothing working out of the box (or I missed it).
