canvas
A Go vector graphics library that renders to SVG, PDF, raster images, HTML Canvas, and more with advanced text and path operations.
What is canvas?
Canvas is a vector graphics library written in Go that provides a unified API for rendering to multiple formats including SVG, PDF, raster images, and HTML Canvas. It solves the problem of generating high-quality vector graphics with advanced text layout and precise path operations in Go applications.
Go developers needing to generate vector graphics, PDFs, or complex text layouts, such as those building charting libraries, document generators, or graphics-intensive applications.
Developers choose Canvas for its numerically stable path operations, multi-format output from a single API, and production-ready performance with optimized rasterization, making it a robust alternative to C-based libraries like Cairo.
