wx has wxPen (http://wxwidgets.org/manuals/2.6.3/wx_wxpen.html#wxpen), 
wxBrush (http://wxwidgets.org/manuals/2.6.3/wx_wxbrush.html#wxbrush), 
etc, which allow drawing vector graphics. If I understand correctly, 
this would make it easier to create vector map printing (i.e. real 
vector postscript).


BTW, for those who want to have a look at the Thuban code for rendering, 
see here:

But maybe Jan-Oliver or Bernard can explain the Thuban rendering system 
in a few words ?
