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.
SkiaSharp provides a PCL and platform-specific bindings for:
- .NET Core / .NET Standard 1.3
- Xamarin.Android
- Xamarin.iOS
- Xamarin.tvOS
- Xamarin.watchOS
- Xamarin.Mac
- Windows Classic Desktop (Windows.Forms / WPF)
- Windows UWP (Desktop / Mobile / Xbox / HoloLens)
The API Documentation is available on the web to browse.
Using SkiaSharp
SkiaSharp is available as a convenience NuGet package, to use install the package like this:
nuget install SkiaSharp
Make sure the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 is installed if this error occurs on Windows:
Unable to load DLL 'libSkiaSharp.dll': The specified module could not be found.
At this point in time, we do not ship a native Linux binary, but you can build your own using the directions below.
Building SkiaSharp
Before building SkiaSharp:
- Python 2.7 is available in the
PATH
environment variable on Windows - Android NDK r14 is available in the
ANDROID_NDK_HOME
environment variable on macOS - .NET Core is installed on all platforms
First, clone the repository:
$ git clone https://github.com/mono/SkiaSharp.git
Next, set up the submodules:
$ cd SkiaSharp
$ git submodule update --init --recursive
Finally, build everything:
Mac/Linux:
$ ./bootstrapper.sh -t everything
Windows:
> .\bootstrapper.ps1 -Target everything
If you are updating the source using a previous checkout, make sure to run the clean
target before building.
New Skia Features Roadmap
Google has created a nice doc with a collection of high level items they have on tap the next 6-12 months. Note it is a living document that changes based on the requirements of the library's users.
