Skia-Simplify
This is a reduced version of the Google Skia library,
consisting of a small subset of its source files,
selected to only support the minimum required functionality.
This functionality is primarily Skia's Simplify function
(hence the name Skia-Simplify), which simplifies overlapped geometry
of a vector shape.
Later, for the purposes of loading SVG files,
it has been extended to also provide SkParsePath and
Op (path boolean operations).
It also has to include all code which these functions depend on.
Extraction from full Skia library
To gather the subset of source files from the full Skia library, do the following:
- Clone Skia's source repository
to a folder (which we will call
skia-source).- Note: We have been using the
chrome/m120branch.
- Note: We have been using the
- Execute the Python script
get-source.pywith two additional arguments:skia-sourcedirectory andskia-simplifyoutput directory.- This will filter the source files and only copy the subset to
skia-simplify. - Some include files will be reported as not found, this is normal.
- Beware: If your version of the Skia library or its file structure is too different, it may be necessary to modify the Python script.
- This will filter the source files and only copy the subset to
To successfully compile the sources into a library,
you need to implement the function SkDebugf
or redefine it in include/config/SkUserConfig.h.
Then you can simply pass all of the CPP files in src to a compiler
with C++17 enabled.
All-in-one version
An optional next step is to combine all header files into one
and all source (CPP) files into one, which can then be easily
included in a project (much like a header-only library).
For this, you can simply execute the Python script all-in-one.py
with the output directory (skia-simplify) from the previous step
as its argument.
The output will be placed in the all-in-one subdirectory.
