  Yes it's on the roadmap but currently you should build your path manually.

  So straight lines (lineTo) are possible only? Not circles or rounded rectangles?
  
  (It's OK, I can use pngs for those for the moment though)

  yes, you're right. In fact, pngs are preferable because they are faster to draw and you won't have a limitation about how they look.

  The code uses straight lines to draw curves and like atilim says, it's slower than using pngs, but I posted an example of how to draw a circle (or arcs or ellipses) at http://www.giderosmobile.com/forum/discussion/346/snippet-arccircleellipse#Item_1

  Resurfacing an old thread. Are vector objects longer to RENDER or longer to GENERATE?

  I'd like to know this too - are they stored as images once created or do they have to be redrawn as vectors - in which case should there be a vector to image command?

  They're drawn as vectors. All shapes are triangulated and stored as compact triangle strips internally and these triangles are drawn with a single OpenGL draw command. To convert a shape to an image, render to texture is the way.

  So circle shapes and (rounded) rectangles are still not implemented yet..?
