It is currently +being used as the antialiased rendering engine for the Gnome Canvas. +It is also the rendering engine for Gill, the Gnome Illustration app. + +Libart supports a very powerful imaging model, basically the same as +SVG and the Java 2D API. It includes all PostScript imaging +operations, and adds antialiasing and alpha-transparency. + +Libart is also highly tuned for incremental rendering. It contains +data structures and algorithms suited to rapid, precise computation +of Region of Interest, as well as a two-phase rendering pipeline +optimized for interactive display. |
