Hi,

I've sent a message in the past (Mar 1, 2020, 17:52) to ask about proposing adding skia as a GSoC.

After that there was a GSoC project to try integrating Pathfinder but it seems the complexity was very high for very short period of time.

Kind regards

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
