Hello [sqlab--gmx--net]!

I'd like to have graphics primitives on the same level of a
textbox (this is what actually happens in the PDF language).

The first is the PDF way. That is, you specify a "path" by
defining its starting position and then the lines/curves that
compose it. Maybe we could go this way:
'line xs ys xe ye
'path [x1 y1 x2 y2 x3 y3 'bezier xc1 yc1 xc2 yc2 x4 y4]
BTW,

PDF has the more general BEZIER curve. But maybe we should include
arcs and circles for convenience in the dialect?
Anyone has better ideas? (A Logo-like dialect, maybe?)

Gabriele.
