Thanks. I see I have a huge range of options. To use a screen device was 
the obvious alternative for a newbie like me, but of course it is absurd 
as it forces me to capture and store each generated Quartz window. So, I 
will immediately move to the functions designed to generate bitmaps.

Following your reply I've also reached Cairo's website. It looks a quite 
interesting project! Thanks again to Simon  and all contributors.

We will be there! Thanks.
