  • Directions / pointers for a server that buffers and rebroadcasts a video stream?

    I don't know how low level you want to go, but assuming you don't want to re-implement video codecs then GStreamer is probably a good place to start, it allows you to create modular video pipelines and it has Go bindings (although I've not personally used them).
  • Is it possible to detect text and edit from image in golang?
    2 projects | /r/golang | 20 Apr 2022
    For the latter I have gstreamer bindings here https://github.com/tinyzimmer/go-gst , but you could potentially also implement yourself with other libraries tuned to the purpose.

    I noticed you have some gstreamer examples which is awesome! In case you are interested, I maintain bindings also (and the app libraries are included) if you wanted to remove some of that internal boilerplate :).

    If CGO isn't off the table, gstreamer can do some interesting stuff with the app library. I have bindings here. This example plays with "dynamically" producing image frames.

  • Canvas vector graphics update: rich text and path boolean operation support
    2 projects | /r/golang | 29 Dec 2022
    I wanted to share a recent large update to https://github.com/tdewolff/canvas, which is a vector graphics library written in Go to create images, PDFs, SVGs, OpenGL, etc. using vector drawing operations. Especially I wanted to show two new exciting features:
  • Pixie – A full-featured 2D graphics library for Nim

  • Processing equivalent in GoLang

    https://github.com/tdewolff/canvas/blob/master/examples/opengl/main.go can draw primitves but i think it would be a bit hard to do event based animation
  • tdewolff/canvas: vector graphics in Go (mayor update)

    canvas has a focus on using state-of-the-art algorithms regarding numerical approximations, see https://github.com/tdewolff/canvas#articles for a list of publications used in this library

    I see, you'd like to specify the exact output pixel size for the rasterizers? To be honest, the floats are being multiplied and rounded, so given a set of canvas dimensions in mm and a DPMM should be fine in your case. In any case, I've opened an issue to calculate the resulting DPMM automatically to get a certain pixel width and height: https://github.com/tdewolff/canvas/issues/78

    Yes! See https://github.com/tdewolff/canvas/tree/master/examples/gonum-plot for an example using gonum-plot. You should be able to plug-and-play to use the canvas library!
