âť—Macaw Deprecatedâť—



Check out this post for deatils. **TL;DR**:

* You can continue to use this framework as is: expect no new features or bug fixing; however, it will be updated to work in future Xcode releases.

* if you need some good declarative UI framework, please use [SwiftUI](https://developer.apple.com/xcode/swiftui/).

* If you need a powerful SVG support, please use [SVGView](https://github.com/exyte/SVGView).

* If you’d like to fix something in Macaw, feel free to fork this repo. Publish your PRs so that other people can use it as well. Some PRs will be merged from time to time.

## What is Macaw?






Macaw is a powerful and easy-to-use vector graphics library written in Swift.



#### It's simple



Get started with Macaw in several lines of code:



```swift

class MyView: MacawView {



	required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {

		let text = Text(text: "Hello, World!", place: .move(dx: 145, dy: 100))

		super.init(node: text, coder: aDecoder)

	}



}

```






#### It has SVG support



Include Scalable Vector Graphics right into your iOS application:






#### It's powerful



Affine transformations, user events, animation and various effects to build beautiful apps with Macaw:






## Motivation



Modern designs contain tons of illustrations and complex animations. Mobile developers have to spend a lot of time on converting designs into native views that will be resizable for different screens. With Macaw you can reduce development time to a minimum and describe all graphics in high level [scene](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scene_graph) elements. Or even render SVG graphics right from your design tool with Macaw events and animation support.
