  • plutovg

    Tiny 2D vector graphics library in C

  • That being said, OpenGL is a pretty big dependency (although fairly ubiquitous these days), if you only want a lightweight 2d graphics library that render in a framebuffer, you can also check out this project.

  • nanovg

    Antialiased 2D vector drawing library on top of OpenGL for UI and visualizations.

  • I use nanovg for my projects and it works surprisingly well for its size. It integration is pretty simple .... if you know a little bit of OpenGL, otherwise there is a slight learning curve.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
