Cairo is a 2D graphics library with support for multiple output devices. Output targets include the X Window System (via both Xlib and XCB), Quartz, Win32, image buffers, PostScript, PDF, and SVG files.
This extension provides access to Cairo functionality in PHP8 in the Cairo namespace.
- PHP 8.0.0+
- Cairo 1.8.0+
- Eos\DataStructures 1.0.1
Additional features are supported up to Cairo version 1.17.0
Features are enabled at compile time based on the library version they are compiled against.
Documentation and information about the underlying library can be found at cairographics.org
There are plans to make this available via pecl and pickle But this is currently the unstable PHP7 version
Until then, please compile and install the both the datastructures and the cairo extensions and enable them in your php.ini file
extension=eos_datastructures.so
extension=cairo.so
This extension can be compiled and tested using phpize.
First you need to make and install the Eos\DataStructures extension, which provides Enum support.
The cairo extension also requires cairo development files. You can build the package manually or use your system's package manager. For example on ubuntu use
apt-get install libcairo2-dev libfreetype6-dev fontconfig libjpeg-dev
Then you can use phpize to install the extension against your current PHP install:
phpize
./configure
make && make test && make install
If you want to use a non-standard location for your PHP use:
/path/to/phpize
./configure --with-php-config=/path/to/php-config
make && make test && make install
make install copies cairo.so to the right location, but you still need to enable the module
in your php.ini file.
The examples directory holds samples of all currently working utilities for the extension.

What little documentation we currently have is in code comments and the docs directory.
We'd like to use some kind of markdown or rst format for docs, a decision isn't final yet.
