Actually, it's more accurate to say that 2D primitives don't exist in RenderMan  
3.2.

They do indeed exist in QuickRenderMan, and I'd bet  
dollars-to-nextstationcolors that they'll be in RenderMan 4.0.

What this means is that you can, in fact, draw 2D curves and lines and arcs on  
the screen using 3DKit, since it's qrman that talks to the screen.  They won't  
show up when you print, however, since it's prman (3.2) that talks to the  
printer.

Bummin.

Here's a snippet from ri.h:
RtVoid RiCircle(RtFloat radius, RtFloat thetaMaximum, ...);
RtVoid RiPointsLines(RtInt nlines, RtInt *nvertices, RtInt *vertices, ...);
[etc]
