Platforms :
- MacOS (x64 / arm64)
- Windows x64
- Linux x64
Source distributions and binary packages can be downloaded here .
Example :
package require pix
# Init 'context' with size + color.
set ctx [pix::ctx::new {200 200} "white"]
# Style first rectangle.
pix::ctx::fillStyle $ctx "rgb(0, 0, 255)" ;# blue color
pix::ctx::fillRect $ctx {10 10} {100 100}
# Style second rectangle.
pix::ctx::fillStyle $ctx "rgba(255, 0, 0, 0.5)" ;# red color with alpha 50%
pix::ctx::fillRect $ctx {50 50} {100 100}
# Save context in a image file (*.png|*.bmp|*.qoi|*.ppm)
pix::ctx::writeFile $ctx rectangle.png
# Or display in label by example :
set p [image create photo]
pix::drawSurface $ctx $p
label .l -image $p
pack .lSee documentation examples for more demos.
Documentation :
A large part of the pix documentation comes from the Pixie API and source files.
Currently API tested and supported are :
| API | |
|---|---|
| context | This namespace provides a 2D API commonly used on the web. |
| font | This namespace allows you to write text, load fonts. |
| image | Crop, resize, blur image and much more. |
| paint | This namespace plays with colors. |
| paths | Vector paths. |
| svg | Parse, render SVG (namespace pretty limited) |
