Most of the available GUI libraries support graphics. I have been using the
Qt library for this sort of thing, and the graphics are quite acceptable:

http://localhost/ruby/graphinity/index.html

http://localhost/ruby/gravity/index.html

I have only used the Qt library, there are several others, most of them
offer this sort of graphic library. It's not necessary to create a GUI in
order to use the graphic libraries they offer.

If you were planning to create a GUI to go along with your graphic images,
then this approach makes even more sense.
