Not relevant to the actual questior, but a Cairo drawing surface (e.g. as
in GTKAda) provides rendering to PDF and SVG directly, which may make
life simpler.
I don't know how easy it would be to add other formats under Cairo. It
may be easier to add other formats above Cairo, and use the same (Cairo)
plotter for both those.
