A no_std 2D graphics library for Rust targeting memory-constrained embedded devices. It draws primitives, text, and images using an iterator-based approach without dynamic allocation or frame buffers.

Use cases

• draw shapes and text on small embedded displays
• render graphics on microcontrollers without a heap allocator
• display UI elements on an OLED or e-ink screen in Rust
• draw 2D primitives with minimal RAM usage
• build a no_std graphics driver for a TFT display

When to choose

• you're writing Rust for embedded hardware with tight memory limits
• you need no_std, allocator-free 2D drawing
• you want an extensible ecosystem of fonts and image format crates

When to avoid

• you need GPU-accelerated or full desktop/mobile graphics
• your target has ample RAM and can use a full framebuffer graphics stack
• you need rich UI widgets rather than low-level drawing primitives
