Tizen Native API  4.0
Cairo

Overview

Open Source Library for 2D vector graphics drawing.
Version: 1.14.2
Reference : http://www.cairographics.org/

Cairo is a famous 2D graphics library with support for multiple output devices.
Cairo on Tizen has been supported output to two backends such as image backend and gl backend.
Cairo gl backend provides an implementation of possibly hardware-accelerated cairo rendering by targeting the OpenGL API.
The goal of the Cairo gl backend is to provide better performance with equal functionality to Cairo image backend where possible.
Cairo gl backend is listed as experimental on cairographics.org. However, it is official API for Tizen.
Since Tizen only uses EvasGL binding instead of EGL, Cairo EvasGL APIs have been newly added and specified.
In order to use cairo gl backend in Tizen, applications should include <cairo-evas-gl.h> instead of <cairo-gl.h>.

Cairo on Tizen can provide colored font if the font supports colored glyphs. The following values and APIs are newly added and specified for Tizen.
