The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Integrate with Skia GL
The only example that shedded some light on the integration was gtk4 + femtovg. So I mimicked the example, using gtk4-rs and Skia's rust bindings. I had some code similar to the following inside a subclass of GLArea to setup Skia's DirectContext, but it failed:

A simple 2d graphic library
Checkout rust-skia.

Recommended UI framework to draw many 2D lines?
Skia (https://github.com/rust-skia/rust-skia) which I think does a mix of software and gpu rendering

Dioxus: User interfaces that run anywhere
I‘d probably look into Skia first, it also drives Flutter. https://github.com/rust-skia/rust-skia
- Add WebAssembly support to skia-rust

Most effective way to be ready for 2D graphics?
I have been looking around for a suitable vector graphics library to use. My short list is: skia-safe, skulpin, nannou, and cairo.

Question: Rust as centralized place for platfor and framework agnostic business logic. Is this possible?
Flutter uses skia which implements a common API for all these GPU rendering backends. Maybe rust-skia is a good fit for your needs, but be prepared to lose lot of the time you saved by using a single codebase into coding your common UI framework :P

A simple 2d graphic library
You can even check https://github.com/linebender/piet and https://github.com/RazrFalcon/tiny-skia. They are pure rust libraries. Skia as a whole is a big binary to add.

Druid, a Rust-native UI toolkit, released v0.8 after two years of work by 80 contributors.
First, at the deepest level, we are moving away from Piet, which is a cross-platform 2D graphics abstraction. Under the hood it uses whatever the standard OS API is. Instead we will be using Vello which we have been building as a research project for years already. It is starting to near its v0.1, which is very exciting. Fundamentally it is a novel GPU accelerated 2D rendering engine with a strong focus on performance. It is not ready for benchmarks yet, but we're confident it will deliver. If you're curious, you can check out the Vello roadmap for 2023.

What 2D graphics library would you most recommend?
you can use piet, although that is more of an abstraction over existing, platform-dependent libraries. So not really pure rust, but definitely cross-platform.

Piet-GPU Progress: Clipping
Piet is the backend for the Druid UI framework. It is indeed cross-platform. The SVG backend looks like it would work without an OS, but I'm not sure the value of a GUI toolkit without an OS anyway :)

Looking for an image manipulation library that can add text to images. (and has documentation for it)
Piet can render text. You can use Piet_common with the BitMapTarget to generate images Here is an example.

Simple graphics library using software rendering?
Piet (https://github.com/linebender/piet) should work.

What Graphics Library to use?
So the 3 I'm looking at right now are 1. druid 1. piet 1. bevy

Rust GUI: Introduction, a.k.a. the state of Rust GUI libraries (As of January 2021)
It relies on piet 2D graphic library; on Linux that means GTK/Cairo 2D primitives
