1. Is this something that, if executed well, would be of interest to incorporate into scikit image? If so, I will start working on it as a branch; otherwise, we'll just use skimage as a dependency. I'd image it would either be a submodule of skimage.draw(), something like skimage.draw.ensemble() or draw.psuedodata()...

2. Is anyone aware of a pre-existing tooset/library (preferrably in Python) that's built for this? And if so, is that library compatible to skimage?

What you are building reminds me a bit of a scenegraph. You are probably better off using a library like Matplotlib for rendering anything remotely involved. In `skimage` we provide a very basic drawing API with the explicit goal of manipulating images (arrays) directly, but it is not meant as an advanced canvas. I reckon that you will develop some low-level primitives as you go along, and those would fit well into `skimage.draw`. Regards Stéfan
