It sounds, from other replies to your question, like Squeak might be
able to do what you need "natively". However, if you end up wanting to
use .NET to do the rendering, you might find the Squeak/.NET bridge
handy. (It's a port of the one that John Pierce and I wrote for Ruby.)
It's available inside the image, from the SqueakMap package loader; or
from
http://www.saltypickle.com/squeakdotnet
There's some documentation on the website.
The bridge would let you work with .NET from the more interactive
Smalltalk image.
