I am going to give the PALE (Picture and Animation Library for Emacs) a try. Building it by hand, let’s see if I can get it working as a Linux Mint native build (no Guix or anything).

@ramin_hal9001 Also, the default `master` still works for a lot of things, like animations but if you render videos with it, it will look decent but not /smooth/. You can try out the `canvas` branch, but that will need you to use Emacs applied with Canvas patch. We provide a tarball of such an emacs build:

@divyaranjan oh, I hadn’t noticed the different branches, thanks for letting me know!
I am building Emacs from source, so I maybe I’ll try the Canvas patch while I am at it.
@divyaranjan OK, I got it working! I was able to Git-pull this patch you gave me as a branch and rebase it onto master, then rebuilt Emacs.
Can I render SVG graphics to a canvas buffer, or install mouse click and mouse drag events? If so, I think the first thing I want to try is making a simple parametric plot where I can move or scale the plot with the mouse.
