is an open source programming library that provides a vector graphics-based, device-independent API for software developers.




Skia is described as 'Open source 2D graphics library which provides common APIs that work across a variety of hardware and software platforms. It serves as the graphics engine for Google Chrome and Chrome OS, Android, Mozilla Firefox and Firefox OS, and many other products' and is a Vector Graphic app in the development category. There are four alternatives to Skia for Mac, Linux, Windows, Android and Python. The best Skia alternative is Cairo, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like Skia are PlotDevice, Anti-Grain Geometry and Aspose.Drawing for .NET.

PlotDevice is a Macintosh application that lets you write Python scripts to generate 2D graphics using simple drawing commands.

Anti-Grain Geometry (AGG) is a high-quality 2D rendering library written in C++. It features anti-aliasing and sub-pixel resolution. It is not a graphics library, per se, but rather something to build a graphics library upon.
The drawing engine supports rendering vector graphics (such as lines, curves, and figures) and text (in a variety of fonts, sizes, and styles) onto raster images in all commonly used graphics file formats. Can be used in web, mobile, desktop, cloud and IoT scenarios.
