True, it is in fact a text renderer. If you feed it text, it will render
it through a template. If you feed it svg it will render svg.

See the last post of http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=874&p=298269&hilit=svg#p298269

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_drawing_algorithm
Bresenham algorithm is the most well known.
