Pixie - A full-featured 2D graphics library for Nim

⚠️ WARNING: This library is still in heavy development. ⚠️

Pixie is a 2D graphics library similar to Cairo and Skia written (almost) entirely in Nim.

Features include:

  • Drawing paths, shapes and curves
  • Complex masking
  • Shadows, glows and effects
  • Loading image file formats (PNG, BMP, JPG, SVG + more in development)

This library is being actively developed and is not yet ready for use. Since you've managed to stumble onto it, give it a star and check back soon!

Testing

nimble test

Examples

Blur

examples/blur.nim

var p = newPath()
p.polygon(100, 100, 70, sides=6)
p.closePath()
var mask = newImage(200, 200)
mask.fillPath(p, rgba(255, 255, 255, 255))
blur.blur(20)
blur.draw(mask, blendMode = bmMask)
image.draw(trees)
image.draw(blur)

example output

Rounded rectangle

examples/rounded_rectangle.nim

var path = newPath()
let
  x = 50.0
  y = 50.0
  w = 100.0
  h = 100.0
  r = 25.0
path.moveTo(x+r, y)
path.arcTo(x+w, y,   x+w, y+h, r)
path.arcTo(x+w, y+h, x,   y+h, r)
path.arcTo(x,   y+h, x,   y,   r)
path.arcTo(x,   y,   x+w, y,   r)
path.closePath()
image.fillPath(path, rgba(255, 0, 0, 255))

example output

Square

examples/square.nim

var p = newPath()
p.moveTo(50, 50)
p.lineTo(50, 150)
p.lineTo(150, 150)
p.lineTo(150, 50)
p.closePath()
image.fillPath(p, rgba(255, 0, 0, 255))

example output

Tiger

examples/tiger.nim

var tiger = readImage("examples/data/tiger.svg")
image.draw(
  tiger,
  translate(vec2(100, 100)) *
  scale(vec2(0.2, 0.2)) *
  translate(vec2(-450, -450))
)
