# Pixie - A full-featured 2D graphics library for Nim
Pixie is a 2D graphics library similar to [Cairo](https://www.cairographics.org/) and [Skia](https://skia.org) written (almost) entirely in Nim.
This library is being actively developed and we'd be happy for you to use it.
`nimble install pixie`
Features:
* Drawing paths, shapes and curves with even-odd and non-zero windings.
* Pixel-perfect AA quality.
* Supported file formats are PNG, BMP, JPG, SVG + more in development.
* Strokes with joins and caps.
* Shadows, glows and blurs.
* Complex masking: Subtract, Intersect, Exclude.
* Complex blends: Darken, Multiply, Color Dodge, Hue, Luminosity... etc.
