Cairo drawing from java-gnome
We’ve added support for the amazing Cairo Graphics library to the Java bindings for GTK and GNOME.
Adding Cairo is a feature we’ve been working on for about 6 months now, and so I’m pretty pleased that during the 4.0.7 development cycle we’ve been able to land it. Cairo is a huge library, of course, but we’ve put enough coverage in place to ensure that things are working.
Cairo has lots of convenience functions and tons of obscure uses; no surprise (and no apology) that there’s still lots that will need doing. If you want to help make sure it has what you need, then
grab ‘mainline’ and see org.freedesktop.cairo.Context and ExampleCairoDrawingInExposeEvent.
Huge thanks go out to Behdad Esfahbod and Carl Worth; Behdad was really critical in explaining some basic Cairo concepts to get me started when we were working together at the GNOME Summit back in October in Boston, and at the GTK hackfest in Berlin in March, Carl Worth checked our preliminary APIs and helped sort me out as we were working our way through to create some examples. Awesome!
java-gnome 4.0.7 should be out in the next week or two, depending on how long it takes to finish up testing, QA, and to do the release engineering.
