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