MaLiang is an iOS painting and drawing framework built on Apple's Metal, supporting textured strokes, handwriting, and Apple Pencil input. It offers features like undo/redo, zoom, vector content saving, and image export.

Use cases

• add a drawing canvas to an iOS app
• implement handwriting or signature capture with Apple Pencil
• build a doodle or sketching app with custom brush textures
• render glowing or force-sensitive strokes using Metal
• export user drawings to images or save vector strokes to disk

When to choose

• you need GPU-accelerated painting on iOS with Metal
• you want Apple Pencil and 3D Touch pressure support out of the box
• you need undo/redo, zoom, and vector stroke persistence in a drawing feature

When to avoid

• you need cross-platform drawing on Android or web
• your minimum deployment target is below iOS 9 or you cannot use Metal
• you need a full-featured image editor rather than a painting canvas
