 Just wanted to add I put up a screenshot of what the test app outputs to 
screen:

 Now there are some obvious problems still in there (mostly with API 
finetuning, the technical capability to handle opacity is there), but it
shouldnt be too hard to make for example nice charts using this
painter already. Also QPainter compatibility to make "porting" easy is one of 
our goals.
Cheers,

Rob.
