piet-tiny-skia

A piet frontend for the tiny-skia framework.

tiny-skia is a very high-quality implementation of software rendering, based on the algorithms used by Skia. It is the fastest software renderer in the Rust community and it produces high-quality results. However, the feature set of the crate is intentionally limited so that what is there is fast and correct.

This crate, piet-tiny-skia, provides a piet-based frontend for tiny-skia that may be more familiar to users of popular graphics APIs. It may be easier to use than the tiny-skia API while also maintaining the flexibility. It also provides text rendering, provided by the cosmic-text crate.

To start, create a tiny_skia::PixmapMut and a Cache. Then, use the Cache to create a RenderContext to render into the pixmap. Finally the pixmap can be saved to a file or rendered elsewhere.
