Moz2D
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
The `gfx/2d` contains our abstraction of a typical 2D API (similar
|
|
to the HTML Canvas API). It has different backends used for different
|
|
purposes. Direct2D is used for implementing hardware accelerated
|
|
canvas on Windows. Skia is used for any software drawing needs and
|
|
Cairo is used for printing.
|
|
|
|
Previously, Moz2D aimed to be buildable independently from the rest of
|
|
Gecko but we've slipped from this because C++/Gecko don't have a good
|
|
mechanism for modularization/dependencies. That being said, we still try
|
|
to keep the coupling with the rest of Gecko low for hygiene, simplicity
|
|
and perhaps a more modular future.
