Hi,

What parts of the Inkscape codebase do I need to modify to incorporate Skia as a rendering backend, or are there limitations tying Inkscape to Cairo, and what approach should I take if it’s viable?

I’ve previously tried to hack on the codebase, but I’m a Qt developer, so found it difficult even to just modify UI dialogs, which will be important to provide an option to switch to GPU rendering.

Even though I’ve started writing a new vector graphics tool with Qt, and gotten Skia working with OpenGL, I’d rather prefer not to re-incorporate Inkscape’s functionality.

Kind Regards,

Ben Cottrell
