Cairo and headless images

Hey, is it possible to draw graphics and save them to files in a headless image using the Cairo work that Travis has been working on? I need my the headless version of my Seaside app to be able to do this. My Linux customers expect server apps to be able to run headless and the headless version of VW can't draw graphics (please fix this).

Thanks,

Re: Cairo and headless images

Yes. Absolutely you can do this. I've done it myself to generate graphics for my webapps dynamically..

Same here, we use it a fair bit without any issues. In fact we started using Cairo specifically to be able to do this headless.
