Anti-Aliased 2D drawing
I'm working on a program that draws relatively
simple diagrams --
involving lines of different styles and a few arcs --
on top of a base
PNG image. Doing this using the standard GTK
facilities isn't difficult,
but the result is... well, rather rough (jagged,
actually). As I
understand it, Gtk+ does not support anti-aliasing
natively.
I've been experimenting with GtkDrawingArea and
GtkImage,
but I'd appreciate any advice on drawing high-quality
simple figures in
a GtkWidget.
While I want to keep dependencies to a minimum, it
looks like I need to
use an external library. I've found Cairo (http://cairographics.org)
and, of course, libart.
My interest is in finding the simplest and most
universal solution.
Cairo looks interesting, but seems to still be in
early beta. And, of
course, there's libart. I've heard that Cairo might be
integrated into
Gtk at some point.
Thank you in advance for helpful comments.
..Scott
