// Copyright 2010 The draw2d Authors. All rights reserved. // created: 13/12/2010 by Laurent Le Goff // Package draw2d is a pure go 2D vector graphics library with support // for multiple output devices such as images (draw2d), pdf documents // (draw2dpdf) and opengl (draw2dgl), which can also be used on the // google app engine. It can be used as a pure go Cairo alternative. // draw2d is released under the BSD license. // // Features // // Operations in draw2d include stroking and filling polygons, arcs, // Bézier curves, drawing images and text rendering with truetype fonts. // All drawing operations can be transformed by affine transformations // (scale, rotation, translation). // // Package draw2d follows the conventions of http://www.w3.org/TR/2dcontext for coordinate system, angles, etc... // // Installation // // To install or update the package draw2d on your system, run: // go get -u gopkg.in/llgcode/draw2d.v1 // // Quick Start // // Package draw2d itself provides a graphic context that can draw vector // graphics and text on an image canvas. The following Go code // generates a simple drawing and saves it to an image file: // // Initialize the graphic context on an RGBA image // dest := image.NewRGBA(image.Rect(0, 0, 297, 210.0)) // gc := draw2d.NewGraphicContext(dest) // // // Set some properties // gc.SetFillColor(color.RGBA{0x44, 0xff, 0x44, 0xff}) // gc.SetStrokeColor(color.RGBA{0x44, 0x44, 0x44, 0xff}) // gc.SetLineWidth(5) // // // Draw a closed shape // gc.MoveTo(10, 10) // should always be called first for a new path // gc.LineTo(100, 50) // gc.QuadCurveTo(100, 10, 10, 10) // gc.Close() // gc.FillStroke() // // // Save to file // draw2d.SaveToPngFile("hello.png", dest) // // There are more examples here: // https://gopkg.in/llgcode/draw2d.v1/tree/master/samples // // Drawing on pdf documents is provided by the draw2dpdf package. // Drawing on opengl is provided by the draw2dgl package. // See subdirectories at the bottom of this page. // // Testing // // The samples are run as tests from the root package folder `draw2d` by: // go test ./... // // Or if you want to run with test coverage: // go test -cover ./... | grep -v "no test" // // This will generate output by the different backends in the output folder. // // Acknowledgments // // Laurent Le Goff wrote this library, inspired by Postscript and // HTML5 canvas. He implemented the image and opengl backend with the // freetype-go package. Also he created a pure go Postscript // interpreter, which can read postscript images and draw to a draw2d // graphic context (https://github.com/llgcode/ps). Stani Michiels // implemented the pdf backend with the gofpdf package. // // Packages using draw2d // // - https://github.com/llgcode/ps: Postscript interpreter written in Go // // - https://github.com/gonum/plot: drawing plots in Go // // - https://github.com/muesli/smartcrop: content aware image cropping // // - https://github.com/peterhellberg/karta: drawing Voronoi diagrams // // - https://github.com/vdobler/chart: basic charts in Go package draw2d
