Hi, I am not familiar with the Cairo API. But Qt's pendant (code named
"Arthur") should offer about the same functionality. It should be
available in the Qt C++ API and be supported in SailfishOS.
See the QPainter documentation:
   http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/qpainter.html
Also for the the image IO:
   http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/qimage.html#reading-and-writing-image-files

Note that these two areas of Qt are not part of the blacklisted
QtWidgets, but rather part of QtGui.
