I need some scalable 2D vector graphics for my GUI applications. I
want to make custom graphics as if it was like a automated version of
illustrator or Inkscape.
Is Cairo suitable for this? And is there a easy way to get started,
like some simple tutorial. I use GCC on Linux for my development.
Does anyone have experience using Cairo with SDL? And the question i
have is if Cairo is to low level to make user interfaces with it, or
if I have to make a library that uses Cairo, to make it usable in
practice for making GUI:s with C and SDL?

No, Cairo is certainly not too low level for user interfaces with C and SDL. My kiss_sdl widget toolkit https://github.com/actsl/kiss_sdl uses only SDL for user interfaces, no graphics library at all. But all the drawing functions are abstracted to a separate file, so also it can quite easily be made to use whatever graphics library for drawing. But at that, using a separate graphics library for drawing is not for being able to make a user interface at all, it may only be for higher quality of drawing or for increasing speed.------------------------
