I'm glad it helped.

And yes, there is a FAQ:

	http://cairographics.org/FAQ

And it's a freely-editable wiki, so please feel free to take the above
and reword it as a question and answer as would make sense. What's the
question, though?

I appreciate your willingness to help.

I know the "high-level overview" kinds of documentation for cairo are
thinner than they need to be. But often it's hard for some of us who
watched cairo grow and evolve to know what's not obvious. Since you're
in a better position to know what's missing, your contributions will
be greatly appreciated.

Here's the tutorial we have so far:

And it's in the same wiki, so feel free to improve it or propose new
sections, or whatever.

Thanks again. And have fun with cairo!
