Cairo is a vector graphics library with cross-device output
|
|
support. Currently supported output targets include the X Window
|
|
System and in-memory image buffers. PostScript and PDF file output is
|
|
planned. Cairo is designed to produce identical output on all output
|
|
media while taking advantage of display hardware acceleration when
|
|
available (eg. through the X Render Extension).
|
|
|
|
Cairo provides a stateful user-level API with capabilities similar to
|
|
the PDF 1.4 imaging model. Cairo provides operations including
|
|
stroking and filling Bezier cubic splines, transforming and
|
|
compositing translucent images, and antialiased text rendering.
