|

|
---|
| 32 | <para><application>cairo</application> is a 2D graphics library with
|
---|
| 33 | support for multiple output devices. Currently supported output targets
|
---|
[6e08fa52] | 34 | include the <application>X</application> Window System, win32, image
|
---|
| 35 | buffers, PostScript, PDF and SVG. Experimental backends include OpenGL
|
---|
| 36 | (through glitz), Quartz and XCB file output. cairo is designed to produce
|
---|
[bb41bc7] | 37 | consistent output on all output media while taking advantage of display
|
---|
| 38 | hardware acceleration when available (e.g., through the X Render
|
---|
| 39 | Extension). The <application>cairo</application> API provides operations
|
---|
| 40 | similar to the drawing operators of PostScript and PDF. Operations in
|
---|
| 41 | <application>cairo</application> include stroking and filling cubic
|
---|
| 42 | Bézier splines, transforming and compositing translucent images, and
|
---|
| 43 | antialiased text rendering. All drawing operations can be transformed by
|
---|
| 44 | any affine transformation (scale, rotation, shear, etc.).</para>
