Render SVG graphics with OpenGL (library)

// repository documentation

★ 0 (0 ratings)

SVGL is a library that displays SVG documents using OpenGL.

It is a direct SVG-to-OpenGL rendering engine written in C++.

The absence of an intermediate raster step makes it very performant.

## Building and installation ##

### building ###

A build script for Unix/Linux is available in build/build.sh; simply execute it after unpacking.

The following software needs to be installed for the build process:

- a C++ compiler, for example g++ or clang
- autoconf
- xutils
- automake
- libtool
- libexpat1
- libpng12
- pkg-config

### testing ###

After compiling, you can test the library with the tests available in `demos/tutorial`, for example

$ demos/tutorial/00simplest

Many of the tests require you to set the GLFT_FONTDIR variable to a dir containing compatible TrueType font files.

For example, in a Debian system with `ttf-liberation` installed:

$ env GLFT_FONTDIR=/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-liberation/ demos/tutorial/05text

### installation ###

$ make install

See docs/INSTALL for further explanations

### documentation ###

See docs/* files.

## History ##

Part of svgl was developed during SC's post-doc period at
the Ecole des Mines de Nantes (http://www.emn.fr)
from October 2000 to September 2001.

Stephane Conversy is now at Ecole Nationale de l'Aviation Civile
and Centre d'Etudes de la Navigation Aerienne, Toulouse, France

Jean-Daniel Fekete is now at the
Laboratoire de Recherche en Informatique,
Universite Paris-Sud an INRIA, Orsay, France

The software was further developed until 2004.

In 2013 Michele Bini tweaked the code for modern Unix/Linux
systems and modern C++ compilers and published the update on GitHub.
