-Cairo is a vector graphics library with cross-device output support. Currently
-supported output targets include the X Window System and in-memory image
-buffers. PostScript and PDF file output is planned. Cairo is designed to
-produce identical output on all output media while taking advantage of display
-hardware acceleration when available (eg. through the X Render Extension).
+Cairo is a 2D graphics library with support for multiple output devices.
+Currently supported output targets include the X Window System, Quartz, Win32,
+image buffers, PostScript, PDF, and SVG file output. Experimental backends
+include OpenGL (through glitz), XCB, BeOS, OS/2, and DirectFB.
 
-Cairo provides a stateful user-level API with capabilities similar to the PDF
-1.4 imaging model. Cairo provides operations including stroking and filling
-Bezier cubic splines, transforming and compositing translucent images, and
-antialiased text rendering.

+The cairo API provides operations similar to the drawing operators of
+PostScript and PDF. Operations in cairo including stroking and filling cubic
+Bézier splines, transforming and compositing translucent images, and
+antialiased text rendering. All drawing operations can be transformed by any
+affine transformation (scale, rotation, shear, etc.)
+
+Cairo is implemented as a library written in the C programming language, but
+bindings are available for several different programming languages.
