-ling with affine matrices and 2D transformations. If you're writing a

+When creating graphic libraries you most likely end up dealing with
+points and rectangles. If you're particularly unlucky, you may end
+up dealing with affine matrices and 2D transformations. If you're
+writing a graphic library with 3D transformations, though, you are
+going to hit the jackpot: 4x4 matrices, projections, transformations,
+vectors, and quaternions.
-Most of this stuff exists, in various forms, in other libraries, but it
-has the major drawback of coming along with the rest of those libraries,
-which may or may not be what you want. Those libraries are also
-available in various languages, as long as those languages are C++;
-again, it may or may not be something you want.

For this reason, I decided to write the thinnest, smallest possible

This library provides types and their relative API; it does not deal
with windowing system surfaces, drawing, scene graphs, or input. You're
-supposed to do that yourself, in your own canvas implementation, which
-is the whole point of writing the library in the first place.
