<h4 class="subsection">1.5.4 What is the current state of development of the back-ends?</h4>
<p>There are several backends currently available:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt>‘<samp>xlib</samp>’</dt>
<dd><p>This backend runs on X11 and uses standard xlib
calls for implementing drawing. It works well, but is limited in many
areas due to the limitations of xlib drawing.
</p></dd>
<dt>‘<samp>art</samp>’</dt>
<dd><p>This is a very good backend that draws using the libart package and
freetype with near PostScript quality and functionality. It is currently
the standard backend (as long as the required libraries are installed).
</p></dd>
<dt>‘<samp>w32</samp>’</dt>
<dd><p>This backend works on Windows and uses basic Windows drawing
</p></dd>
<dt>‘<samp>cairo</samp>’</dt>
<dd><p>An up-and-coming backend. It still relies on unpublished functions in
the cairo library so using it is not for the beginner.
</p></dd>
