Cairo <https://www.cairographics.org/> is a 2D graphics API clearly 
inspired by PostScript, yet just as clearly an improvement on it. Whereas 
the PostScript graphics model never progressed beyond putting marks on 
paper (even in Display PostScript), Cairo adds features specifically to 
support interactive graphics on a display screen, like operators and alpha 
channels. It also has better Unicode support.
