Xairo

This project has gotten away from me a bit in terms of scope, implementation, and approach. I'm leaving it for anyone who's found it and used it, but I will be re-working this project from the ground up at https://github.com/mikowitz/xairo. Thanks for your understanding.

Elixir API for the cairo 2d graphics library.

It uses Rust bindings for cairo and the Rustler package to provide the NIF bridge to Elixir.

Installation

Add Xairo as a dependency in your mix.exs file.

def deps do
  [
    {:xairo, github: "mikowitz/xairo"}
  ]
end

Then run this in your shell to fetch the new dependency:

~$ mix deps.get

Usage

Currently, Xairo supports

• creating images
• easily scaling images up or down
• drawing on those images with
  • straight lines
  • arcs
  • Bézier curves
  • rectangles
• creating solid, gradient, and mesh color sources
• adding simple text to an image
• manipulating image paths and text with transformation matrices
• saving images in *.png or *.svg format
