Questions, why didn't you use gdk's simple polygon API for this?
(http://library.gnome.org/devel/gdk/2.12/gdk-Drawing-Primitives.html#gdk-draw-polygon)
Wouldn't using that gdk call be *magnitudes* faster (during
rendering) and easier to implement (as the rest of gEDA/gaf uses gdk
quite extensively)? I am quite sensitive to users who use gEDA/gaf on
older machines and maintaining the existing rendering performance is an
important goal.
