Xar file format loading in Cairo?

Hi there wondering if anyone has tried to load xar files (vector graphics files from the Xara line of drawing packages) into Cairo or OpenGL? Just I've been using Xara as my main drawing package and as it has a nice object grouping and naming feature I was wondering if I could streamline my graphics capture/layout process? Kind regards Allan

Not to my knowledge. Can you export to SVG ?

Hmm, Yes but just tried it and didn't look to hot as an SVG in safari nearly all of the texutres vanished, transparencies failed yuk! Well it would have been nice to be able to do graphical layouts then just export into a game!

xarlib (a xar file format library) is GPL, unfortunately - so I didn't look into it any further.
