NanoVG is a small antialiased 2D vector graphics rendering library built on OpenGL, with a lean API modeled after the HTML5 canvas API. It is designed for building scalable user interfaces and visualizations in C/C++ applications.
Use cases
- draw antialiased 2D vector graphics with OpenGL
- render custom UI widgets in a C++ application
- build scalable user interfaces with a canvas-like API
- render charts and data visualizations on the GPU
- draw paths, shapes, and text in a game or desktop app
When to choose
- you need GPU-accelerated 2D vector rendering in C/C++
- you want an HTML5 canvas-style API for native applications
- you are building custom UIs or visualizations on top of OpenGL
When to avoid
- you need a maintained library with active bug fixes and support
- you need a high-level retained-mode UI framework rather than a drawing API
- your project does not use OpenGL or cannot provide a stencil buffer
