|
---|
31 |
|
---|
32 | <para><application>cairo</application> is a 2D graphics library with
|
---|
33 | support for multiple output devices. Currently supported output targets
|
---|
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
|
---|
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>
