    Anti-Grain Geometry

    Anti-Grain Geometry (AGG) is a high-quality 2D rendering


    library written in C++. It features anti-aliasing and sub-pixel Anti-Grain Geometry
    resolution. It is not a graphics library, per se, but rather a framework Developer(s) Maxim
    to build a graphics library upon. Shemanarev

    The library is operating system independent and renders to an Stable release 2.5.0 /
    abstract memory object. It comes with examples interfaced to the X October 1,
    Window System, Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, AmigaOS, BeOS, 2006
    SDL. The examples also include an SVG viewer. Written in C++

    The design of AGG uses C++ templates only at a very high level, Operating system Cross-platform
    rather than extensively, to achieve the flexibility to plug custom Type Graphics library
    classes into the rendering pipeline, without requiring a rigid class
    License GPL
    hierarchy, and allows the compiler to inline many of the method
    calls for high performance. For a library of its complexity, it is Website antigrain.com
    remarkably lightweight: it has no dependencies above the standard (https://antigrai
    C++ libraries and it avoids the C++ STL in the implementation of n.com/)
    the basic algorithms. The implicit interfaces are not well
    Usage
    documented, however, and this can make the learning process quite
    cumbersome.

    While AGG version 2.5 is licensed under the GNU General Public License, version 2 or greater, AGG
    version 2.4 is still available under the 3-clause BSD license and is virtually the same as version 2.5.

    History
    Active development of the AGG codebase stalled in 2006, around the time of the v2.5 release, due to
    shifting priorities of its primary developer Maxim Shemanarev. Shemanarev remained active in the
    community until his sudden death in November, 2013.[1] Development has continued on a fork of the more
    liberally licensed v2.4 on SourceForge.net.[2]

    Usage
    The Haiku operating system uses AGG in its windowing system.
    It is one of the renderers available for use in GNU's Gnash Flash player.
    Graphical version of Rebol language interpreter is using AGG for scalable vector graphics
    DRAW dialect.
    Hilti uses it in some of their rebar detection tools, like the PS 1000.
    Matplotlib uses AGG as its back-end rendering engine.[3]
    fpGUI Toolkit has an optional AggPas back-end rendering engine.[4] Work is being done to
    make AggPas the default or sole rendering engine for fpGUI.
    Mapnik, the toolkit that renders the maps on the OpenStreetMap website, uses AGG for all its
    map rendering.
    HTTPhotos uses AGG to scale photos.
    Pdfium, the PDF rendering engine used by Google Chrome makes use of AGG[5]
    Graphics Mill, the .NET imaging SDK uses AGG as its drawing engine.[6]
    Image-Line FL Studio, a digital audio workstation, since version 10.8 released on September
    30, 2012, uses AGG for drawing.[7]
