This package provides a Cairo graphics device that can be use to
|
||
|
|
create high-quality vector (PDF, PostScript and SVG) and bitmap
|
||
|
|
output (PNG,JPEG,TIFF), and high-quality rendering in displays (X11
|
||
|
|
and Win32). Since it uses the same back-end for all output, copying
|
||
|
|
across formats is WYSIWYG. Files are created without the dependence
|
||
|
|
on X11 or other external programs. This device supports alpha
|
||
|
|
channel (semi-transparent drawing) and resulting images can contain
|
||
|
|
transparent and semi-transparent regions. It is ideal for use in
|
||
|
|
server environments (file output) and as a replacement for other
|
||
|
|
devices that don't have Cairo's capabilities such as alpha support
|
||
|
|
or anti-aliasing. Backends are modular such that any subset of
|
||
|
|
backends is supported.
