SkiaSharp
SkiaSharp is a cross-platform 2D graphics API for .NET platforms based on Google's Skia Graphics Library (https://skia.org/). It provides a comprehensive 2D API that can be used across mobile, server and desktop models to render images.
What is Included
SkiaSharp provides a PCL and platform-specific bindings for:
- Mac (Console or using the Xamarin.Mac)
- Xamarin.Android
- Xamarin.iOS
- Xamarin.tvOS
- Xamarin.Mac
- Windows Desktop
- Windows UWP
You can also build this on your particular variant of Unix to create your native libraries.
Using SkiaSharp
Check our getting started guide
Extensions for SkiaSharp
Windows/WPF users might find the SkiaSharpWPFExtensions useful.
Building SkiaSharp
First clone the repository:
$ git clone https://github.com/mono/SkiaSharp.git
Next, set up the submodules:
$ cd SkiaSharp
$ git submodule init && git submodule update
Then follow the platform-specific instructions below.
Mac OS X
Run from Bash
$ ./bootstrapper.sh -t libs
This runs the build process by using the libs
build target.
Windows
You need Python 2.7 in PATH
environment variable. Then you can build it:
> .\bootstrapper.ps1 -Target libs
This runs the build process by using the libs
build target.
Build Targets
There are several targets available, you can specify the target as the argument to the -t
command line
option in the bootstrapper script.
