# Go Graphics



`gg` is a library for rendering 2D graphics in pure Go.

## Installation



    go get -u github.com/fogleman/gg



Alternatively, you may use gopkg.in to grab a specific major-version:



    go get -u gopkg.in/fogleman/gg.v1



## Documentation

- pkg.go.dev: https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/fogleman/gg?tab=doc



## Hello, Circle!



Look how easy!



```go

package main



import "github.com/fogleman/gg"



func main() {

    dc := gg.NewContext(1000, 1000)

    dc.DrawCircle(500, 500, 400)

    dc.SetRGB(0, 0, 0)

    dc.Fill()

    dc.SavePNG("out.png")

}

```



## Examples



There are [lots of examples](https://github.com/fogleman/gg/tree/master/examples) included. They're mostly for testing the code, but they're good for learning, too.



![Examples](http://i.imgur.com/tMFoyzu.png)



## Creating Contexts



There are a few ways of creating a context.



```go

NewContext(width, height int) *Context

NewContextForImage(im image.Image) *Context

NewContextForRGBA(im *image.RGBA) *Context

```



## Drawing Functions



Ever used a graphics library that didn't have functions for drawing rectangles

or circles? What a pain!



```go

DrawPoint(x, y, r float64)

DrawLine(x1, y1, x2, y2 float64)

DrawRectangle(x, y, w, h float64)

DrawRoundedRectangle(x, y, w, h, r float64)

DrawCircle(x, y, r float64)

DrawArc(x, y, r, angle1, angle2 float64)

DrawEllipse(x, y, rx, ry float64)

DrawEllipticalArc(x, y, rx, ry, angle1, angle2 float64)

DrawRegularPolygon(n int, x, y, r, rotation float64)

DrawImage(im image.Image, x, y int)

DrawImageAnchored(im image.Image, x, y int, ax, ay float64)

SetPixel(x, y int)



MoveTo(x, y float64)

LineTo(x, y float64)

QuadraticTo(x1, y1, x2, y2 float64)

CubicTo(x1, y1, x2, y2, x3, y3 float64)

ClosePath()

ClearPath()

NewSubPath()



Clear()

Stroke()

Fill()

StrokePreserve()

FillPreserve()

```



It is often desired to center an image at a point. Use `DrawImageAnchored` with `ax` and `ay` set to 0.5 to do this. Use 0 to left or top align. Use 1 to right or bottom align. `DrawStringAnchored` does the same for text, so you don't need to call `MeasureString` yourself.



## Text Functions



It will even do word wrap for you!



```go

DrawString(s string, x, y float64)

DrawStringAnchored(s string, x, y, ax, ay float64)

DrawStringWrapped(s string, x, y, ax, ay, width, lineSpacing float64, align Align)

MeasureString(s string) (w, h float64)

MeasureMultilineString(s string, lineSpacing float64) (w, h float64)

WordWrap(s string, w float64) []string

SetFontFace(fontFace font.Face)

LoadFontFace(path string, points float64) error

```



## Color Functions



Colors can be set in several different ways for your convenience.



```go

SetRGB(r, g, b float64)

SetRGBA(r, g, b, a float64)

SetRGB255(r, g, b int)

SetRGBA255(r, g, b, a int)

SetColor(c color.Color)

SetHexColor(x string)

```



## Stroke & Fill Options



```go

SetLineWidth(lineWidth float64)

SetLineCap(lineCap LineCap)

SetLineJoin(lineJoin LineJoin)

SetDash(dashes ...float64)

SetDashOffset(offset float64)

SetFillRule(fillRule FillRule)

```



## Gradients & Patterns



`gg` supports linear, radial and conic gradients and surface patterns. You can also implement your own patterns.



```go

SetFillStyle(pattern Pattern)

SetStrokeStyle(pattern Pattern)

NewSolidPattern(color color.Color)

NewLinearGradient(x0, y0, x1, y1 float64)

NewRadialGradient(x0, y0, r0, x1, y1, r1 float64)

NewConicGradient(cx, cy, deg float64)

NewSurfacePattern(im image.Image, op RepeatOp)

```



## Transformation Functions



```go

Identity()

Translate(x, y float64)

Scale(x, y float64)

Rotate(angle float64)

Shear(x, y float64)

ScaleAbout(sx, sy, x, y float64)

RotateAbout(angle, x, y float64)

ShearAbout(sx, sy, x, y float64)

TransformPoint(x, y float64) (tx, ty float64)

InvertY()

```



It is often desired to rotate or scale about a point that is not the origin. The functions `RotateAbout`, `ScaleAbout`, `ShearAbout` are provided as a convenience.



`InvertY` is provided in case Y should increase from bottom to top vs. the default top to bottom.



## Stack Functions



Save and restore the state of the context. These can be nested.



```go

Push()

Pop()

```



## Clipping Functions



Use clipping regions to restrict drawing operations to an area that you

defined using paths.



```go

Clip()

ClipPreserve()

ResetClip()

AsMask() *image.Alpha

SetMask(mask *image.Alpha)

InvertMask()

```



## Helper Functions



Sometimes you just don't want to write these yourself.



```go

Radians(degrees float64) float64

Degrees(radians float64) float64

LoadImage(path string) (image.Image, error)

LoadPNG(path string) (image.Image, error)

SavePNG(path string, im image.Image) error

```

## Another Example



See the output of this example below.



```go

package main



import "github.com/fogleman/gg"



func main() {

	const S = 1024

	dc := gg.NewContext(S, S)

	dc.SetRGBA(0, 0, 0, 0.1)

	for i := 0; i < 360; i += 15 {

		dc.Push()

		dc.RotateAbout(gg.Radians(float64(i)), S/2, S/2)

		dc.DrawEllipse(S/2, S/2, S*7/16, S/8)

		dc.Fill()

		dc.Pop()

	}

	dc.SavePNG("out.png")

}

```
