Vg
A declarative 2D vector graphics library for OCaml with renderers for PDF, SVG, Cairo, and HTML canvas.
What is Vg?
Vg is a declarative 2D vector graphics library for OCaml that models images as functions mapping points on the Cartesian plane to colors. It provides combinators to define and compose these images, enabling the creation of complex graphics through functional composition. The library includes renderers for multiple output formats like PDF, SVG, Cairo, and HTML canvas.
OCaml developers needing to generate 2D vector graphics for applications such as document generation, data visualization, or interactive web graphics.
Developers choose Vg for its purely declarative and functional approach to graphics, which integrates seamlessly with OCaml's type system and offers multiple backend renderers without locking into a specific output format.
