To do rendering that is really pixel independent and support the non 
linear geometric deformations implied by arbitrary coordinate systems 
you can not use standard drawing primitives. Morphic 3 really needs a 
new, custom rendering engine. Check the video of my demo. You'll 
understand you can not do that with, for example, OpenGL.
