Yes. But you would be doing only a part of it in OpenGL. The geometric 
deformations would still be needed, but working only on bitmaps. The 
quality would not be as good (for things like CurveMorphs) because the 
off-screen surface would have some specific resolution, that could be 
too coarse for those areas that are enlarged by the non-linear 
transformation. Think for example on a graph with logarithmic X. Pixels 
in the off-screen surface would be too big at the left of the graph and 
too small at the right.
