Cairo Utilities
===============
There are a varieties of utilities we use with cairo.
malloc-stats
------------
This is a small shared library designed to be preloaded by the
linker and its purpose is to make the malloc_stats() function
of glibc produce more useful information.
Build by:
make malloc-stats.so
and use by:
LD_PRELOAD=$(blddir)/util/libmalloc-stats.so app-to-run
cairo-trace
-----------
This tool can be used to trace all the cairo function calls made by an
applications. This is useful for either extracting a test case triggering
a bug from an application, or simply to get a general idea of how an
application is using cairo.
cairo-api-update and xr2cairo
-----------------------------
These two scripts were used to convert source code written for pre-1.0
cairo to newer API. See $(top_srcdir)/PORTING_GUIDE for more information.
These files are obsolete now and may be removed in a future version.
cairo-view and waterfall
------------------------
These are two pycairo scripts useful for testing the toy font backend.
