## What it is
Raqote is a small, pure-Rust software 2D graphics library supporting path filling, stroking, dashing, gradients, clipping, and blend modes. It is used as a rendering backend by projects like Servo and resvg.

## Use cases
- render 2D vector graphics in Rust
- draw paths and gradients to a PNG
- software rasterization backend for a canvas
- render SVG content without GPU
- draw shapes with clipping and blend modes

## When to choose
- you need a dependency-light, pure-Rust 2D rasterizer
- you need CPU-based rendering without GPU dependencies
- you're building a canvas or SVG rendering backend in Rust

## When to avoid
- you need GPU-accelerated rendering performance
- you need full 3D graphics
- you need a complete GUI toolkit

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: graphics, image-processing
- domain: graphics, web-development
- platform: rust, cross-platform
- tags: 2d-graphics, software-rendering, rasterization, canvas, vector-graphics
