Vecto is a library for producing graphics programmatically, in PNG format, and typically on the fly. It is a simplified interface to CL-VECTORS, a vector rasterization library. It is very portable and should work in any Common Lisp environment. This kind of program could be used to trivially create a captcha generator or mathematical function plotter like Gnuplot or even more complicated visualization.
