node-canvas-skia (alpha)

node-canvas-skia is a skia node binding designed to enable GPU accelerated image rendering in desktop applications. We expect to implement the same API as web canvas.

Note:

1. It has not yet fully stabilized and is currently in the testing phase.
2. GPU rendering has not been released yet.

Install

npm install node-canvas-skia

Example

const path = require("path");
const skia = require("node-canvas-skia");

const canvas = new skia.Canvas(256, 256);
const ctx = canvas.getContext("2d", { antialias: true });

const scale = 256;
const R = 0.45 * scale;
const TAU = 6.2831853;
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.moveTo(R, 0);
for (let i = 1; i < 7; ++i) {
  const theta = (3 * i * TAU) / 7;
  ctx.lineTo(R * Math.cos(theta), R * Math.sin(theta));
}
ctx.closePath();
ctx.translate(0.5 * scale, 0.5 * scale);
ctx.strokeStyle = "rgba(255,0,0,1)";
ctx.lineWidth = 2;
ctx.stroke();
ctx.translate(-0.5 * scale, -0.5 * scale);

canvas.saveAsImage(path.resolve(__dirname, "heptagram.jpg"));
