and just for clarification: "render" here means the rasterization
process if ImageMagick that converts a vector graphic into a rasterized
image. the raster-image is then displayed (aka "rendered", but that was
not the meaing i intended) using Gem, which should be fast enough.

this also shows some obvious disadvantage of the current method: a
vector graphic (pdf) is converted to a rasterized image (imagemagick)
which will then be displayed in a vector oriented scene (Gem) only to be
rasterized for the final output (screen).
a better approach would be to have vector graphics be imported as vector
graphics (ala "model")
