    An efficient vector-graphics renderer

  • I’ve just filed an issue (https://github.com/google/forma/issues/11) describing how, on an old GPU (AMD 7990) but using the CPU device, it fails to start.

    This looks like an issue with wgpu-rs, but am I wrong in assuming that the CPU device would work regardless of the graphic card?

  • pathfinder

    A fast, practical GPU rasterizer for fonts and vector graphics

  • You might be interested in https://github.com/servo/pathfinder

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • resvg

    An SVG rendering library.

  • pytype

    A static type analyzer for Python code

  • i work on https://github.com/google/pytype which is largely developed internally and then pushed to github every few days. the github commits are associated with the team's personal github accounts. pytype is not an "official google product" insofar as the open source version is presented as is without official google support, but it is "production code" in the sense that it is very much used extensively within google.

  • parasol

    Vector graphics engine and app framework for Windows and Linux, supporting SVG (by parasol-framework)

  • I work on a project that builds an SVG compliant vector scene graph and allows for detailed interaction via its API. Writing client code that can plug into the rendering pipeline or just altering the existing code is also fairly easy - comparatively at least.

    It's at https://github.com/parasol-framework/parasol but fair warning though, it is in alpha right now and going through an overhaul.

  • engine

    The Flutter engine (by flutter)

  • Flutter is moving to using Impeller, which is the faster replacement you're talking about: https://github.com/flutter/engine/tree/main/impeller
