we used libart_lgpl in renderPM to do most of what you say. It has alpha
for transparency and many different ways to render stuff. We have
renderPM working on unix, linux, mac, windows so the underlying library
does as well. In our usage at least it has some numerical issues. As a
backend we used PIL to convert the pixel map canvas to gif etc.
