[cairo] Cairo and rsvg

Okay, thanks. I will have to figure out how to access those via Python -- it's 
not obvious to me right now. 

P1
I am working with: 
http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/gnome-python-desktop/trunk/rsvg/rsvg.override?revision=426&view=markup/
That (I think) is the latest code showing what can be done from Python. I 
can't see any hint of passing an id through to the get_dimension_data 
function.

I am looking for something simple like:
handle = rsvh.Handle('afile.svg')
(w,h)=handle.getSize(id="#fat_blue_python")

P2
Is there no way to get the path_data from inside rsvg?

Anyone on the list have a way via some Ctypes hacking (or other clever voodoo) 
to imitate something like this:

handle = rsvg.Handle('afile.svg')
path=handle.extractPath(id="#some_path") # Assumes a simple path.
ctx.drawPath(path)
* I am *really* rusty on my PyCairo. Really not sure if one can get a path and 
then spool it out to a context or if the only option is to use the various 
drawing commands to draw it out.
