Explain "graphic primitives"? Do you mean API for things like Elipse
drawing, Line drawing, Text output etc.

If so, then yes, fpGUI is such a widgetset. fpGUI's "develop" branch is
switching over to using AggPas for *all* those graphics functionality.
Line drawing, text rendering, anti-aliasing, alpha blending, vector
graphics etc. This is turn makes fpGUI very portable with little effort,
because now only top-level windows handling, clipboard and DND
functionality talks to the OS (those are unavoidable), the rest is all
handled in fpGUI and AggPas.  In turn the LCL-fpGUI widgetset would use
that too as far as I understand.
