Poppler is a free and open-source software library for rendering Portable Document Format (PDF) documents. Its development is supported by freedesktop.org . Commonly used on Linux systems, [ 4 ] it powers the PDF viewers of the GNOME and KDE desktop environments .
There are also higher-level 3D scene-graph APIs which provide additional functionality on top of the lower-level rendering API. Such libraries under active development include: Such libraries under active development include:
The Skia Graphics Engine or Skia is an open-source 2D graphics library written in C++. Skia abstracts away platform-specific graphics APIs (which differ from one to another). [1] Skia Inc. originally developed the library; Google acquired it in 2005, [2] and then released the software as open source licensed under the New BSD free software ...
The Poppler library uses Cairo to render PDF documents. Cairo enables the drawing of antialiased vector graphics and transparent objects. [citation needed] The vector graphics application Inkscape uses the Cairo library for its outline mode display, as well as for PDF and PostScript export since release 0.46. [20]
Utility library for rendering Portable Document Format (PDF) documents. poppler-utils includes command-line tools to extract images from a PDF (pdfimages) and convert a PDF to other formats (pdftohtml, pdftotext, pdftoppm). ps2pdf: GNU AGPL: Yes Part of Ghostscript; converts a PostScript file to a PDF. SWFTools: GNU GPL: Yes
A number of free software applications use MuPDF to render PDF documents, the most notable being Sumatra PDF. MuPDF is also available as a package for most Unix-like operating system distributions. Independent parties have ported the library to many platforms, including the Amazon Kindle, [3] HP TouchPad, [4] PlayStation Portable, [5] Wii, [6 ...
Anti-Grain Geometry (AGG) is a 2D rendering graphics library written in C++. It features anti-aliasing and sub-pixel resolution. It is not a graphics library, per se, but rather a framework to build a graphics library upon. The library is operating system independent and renders to an abstract memory object.
Immediate mode is an API design pattern in computer graphics libraries, in which . the client calls directly cause rendering of graphics objects to the display, or in which; the data to describe rendering primitives is inserted frame by frame directly from the client into a command list (in the case of immediate mode primitive rendering),
