Dave Beckett 9aa2d445b7 Use freetype-config to get the freetype2 compiling and linking flags rather than use pkg-config which requires a quite new freetype2 to get freetype2.pc
2003-11-08 10:28:04 +00:00
doc/reference added some types and enums, documented more functions 2003-10-19 08:46:21 +00:00
pixman Removed stale version from ic.h. Better to have no version listed than the wrong one. 2003-11-06 07:56:10 +00:00
src Bumped version to 0.1.12 for new cairo_in_stroke and cairo_in_fill functions. 2003-11-06 18:33:28 +00:00
util Changed names of all cairo_get_* functions to cairo_current_*. Added magic DEPRECATE macro so that using the old names will give useful warnings/errors. Bumped version number to 0.1.1 2003-09-04 06:52:01 +00:00
.cvsignore Renamed everything from Xr* to cairo_* 2003-07-18 11:34:19 +00:00
AUTHORS Switched to autotools. Dropped XrPush/PopGroup. Supports non-X Xc rendering. 2003-04-17 13:24:29 +00:00
autogen.sh Added better warning if pkg-config is not installed. Add --enable-maintainer-mode to autogen.sh 2003-08-18 18:52:46 +00:00
BUGS Added bug about self-intersecting paths. (Really, I'm just testing the cairo-commit mailing list) 2003-10-15 12:26:51 +00:00
cairo.pc.in Add explicit fontconfig and freetype2 dependencies that were implicitly dropped along with Xft. 2003-11-04 08:58:53 +00:00
ChangeLog Move declaration to beginning of function to avoid requiring a C99-compatible compiler. 2003-11-07 11:03:09 +00:00
configure.in Use freetype-config to get the freetype2 compiling and linking flags rather than use pkg-config which requires a quite new freetype2 to get freetype2.pc 2003-11-08 10:28:04 +00:00
COPYING Update copyright information in COPYING 2003-10-30 13:28:34 +00:00
INSTALL Switched to autotools. Dropped XrPush/PopGroup. Supports non-X Xc rendering. 2003-04-17 13:24:29 +00:00
Makefile.am Renamed everything from Xr* to cairo_* 2003-07-18 11:34:19 +00:00
NEWS Switched to autotools. Dropped XrPush/PopGroup. Supports non-X Xc rendering. 2003-04-17 13:24:29 +00:00
README Updated stale text in README 2003-10-28 17:32:44 +00:00
TODO TODO: Note that cairo_show_page, cairo_copy_page, PostScript backend, real text API, and text support for the image backend have now all been implemented. 2003-11-04 08:36:03 +00:00

Cairo - Multi-platform 2D graphics library

Compiling
---------
See the INSTALL document for build instructions.

Description
-----------
Cairo is a vector graphics library with cross-device output
support. Currently supported output targets include the X Window
System and in-memory image buffers. PostScript and PDF file output is
planned. Cairo is designed to produce identical output on all output
media while taking advantage of display hardware acceleration when
available (eg. through the X Render Extension).

Cairo provides a stateful user-level API with capabilities similar to
the PDF 1.4 imaging model. Cairo provides operations including
stroking and filling Bezier cubic splines, transforming and
compositing translucent images, and antialiased text rendering.

Cairo was once named Xr, (or Xr/Xc), so if you came looking for that
software, you've found it.

Dependencies
------------
Cairo currently requires the following supporting libraries:

	slim
	libpixregion
	libic

	Xft2
	fontconfig
	freetype2

Documentation
-------------
There's not much documentation yet apart from the cairo.h header
file. We'll be correcting that shortly.

In the meantime, the cairo-demo module in CVS provides a few example
programs using Cairo. These may be helpful to a programmer just
beginning with Cairo. Also, familiarity with the PostScript imaging
model will help in understanding Cairo.

History
-------
Cairo was developed by Carl Worth <cworth@isi.edu> and Keith Packard
<keithp@keithp.com>. Many thanks are due to Lyle Ramshaw without whose
patient help our ignorance would be much more apparent.

Mailing List
------------
If you have trouble with Cairo or you have some ideas for how it could be
improved, please feel free to send a message to cairo@cairographics.org

Cairo is still under active development and all discussion happens on
that list. So if you want to lurk or, (even better), take part in the
development, take a look. Subscription information and archives are
available:
