aggdraw was ported to agg 2.4 and extended by
Dov Grobgeld <dov.grobgeld@gmail.com> 2016-05-30 Mon
This port is planned for released as 1.4.0, but currently produces different results from previous versions and the causes of these differences have not been tracked down.
A high-quality graphics engine for PIL, based on Maxim Shemanarev's Anti-Grain Geometry library (from http://antigrain.com).
The necessary AGG sources are included in the aggdraw source kit.
For posterity, reference the old documentation.
Check prerequisites.
You need a C++ compiler to build this extension.
The library comes with the necessary AGG sources included.
The following additional libraries can be used:
- OpenType/TrueType support - freetype2 (2.1.10 or later is recommended) See http://www.freetype.org and http://freetype.sourceforge.net for details.
Configure.
To enable freetype, you need to build the library somewhere and make sure the freetype-config command is available on your PATH. The setup.py file will call freetype-config --prefix to locate all of the necessary libraries and headers.
Build.
The library uses a standard setup.py file, and you can use all standard setup.py commands. I recommend the following steps:
$ python setup.py build_ext -i $ python selftest.py(if you're lazy, you can skip the above and just install the library; setup.py will make sure the right stuff is built before it's installed).
Install.
If the selftest succeeds, you can install the library:
$ python setup.py install- Enjoy!
