%general-entities; ]> Cairo Cairo is a 2D graphics library with support for multiple output devices. Currently supported output targets include the X Window System, Win32, image buffers, PostScript, PDF and SVG. Experimental backends include OpenGL, Quartz and XCB file output. Cairo is designed to produce consistent output on all output media while taking advantage of display hardware acceleration when available (e.g., through the X Render Extension). The Cairo API provides operations similar to the drawing operators of PostScript and PDF. Operations in Cairo include stroking and filling cubic Bézier splines, transforming and compositing translucent images, and antialiased text rendering. All drawing operations can be transformed by any affine transformation (scale, rotation, shear, etc.). &lfs121_checked; Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &cairo-md5sum; Download size: &cairo-size; Estimated disk space required: &cairo-buildsize; Estimated build time: &cairo-time; Cairo Dependencies Required and Recommended , (required for most GUIs), and Optional , and , , , , , , , , , jbig2dec, libspectre, and Skia There is a circular dependency between cairo and harfbuzz. If cairo is built before harfbuzz, it is necessary to rebuild cairo after harfbuzz in order to build pango. Install Cairo by running the following commands: mkdir build && cd build && meson setup --prefix=/usr --buildtype=release .. && ninja This package does not have a working test suite. Now, as the root user: ninja install -Dxlib-xcb=enabled: This switch enables several experimental Xlib/XCB functions used by some window managers. -Dgtk_doc=true: Use this parameter if GTK-Doc is installed and you wish to create and install the documentation.
