There is some older code in the Seamonkey sources that does simple drawing.
Mozillas test plugin is not as straight-forward, but definitely up-to-date.

Keep in mind though that window-less plugins are preferrable due to most browsers running the plugins out-of-process as well as integration into their layering-/drawing-mechanisms being better.

Also, take a look at wether FireBreath fits your project - it is a plugin-framework that already does much of the work for you.

Thanks. Is Flash a windowed or window-less plugin? – gooseim Jun 22 '12 at 11:27

It depends on the wmode of the Flash instance; it can operate in either mode. – smorgan Jul 11 '12 at 07:22
