# [GCanvas](https://alibaba.github.io/GCanvas/)

GCanvas is a cross-platform rendering engine for mobile devices developed by Alibaba. It is written with C++ based on OpenGL ES, so it can provide high performance 2D/WebGL rendering capabilities for JavaScript runtime. It also has browser-like canvas APIs, so it's very convenient and flexiable for use, especially for web developers.

Supported operating systems are Android 4.0+ (API 14) and iOS 8.0+.

## Distribution
### GCanvas

* iOS [GCanvas](https://cocoapods.org/pods/GCanvas) [![CocoaPods Version](https://badge.fury.io/co/GCanvas.svg)](https://badge.fury.io/co/GCanvas)

* Android com.taobao.gcanvas:core:1.1.0(publishing)

### GCanvas NPM Package
* [@gcanvas/core](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@gcanvas/core) [![npm version](https://badge.fury.io/js/%40gcanvas%2Fcore.svg)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@gcanvas/core)

## Features
- Cross-platform, support popular iOS and Android.
- High performance, accelerate graphic draw by OpenGL ES.
- Provide JavaScript runtime, such as [Weex](https://github.com/apache/incubator-weex) and [ReactNative](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/). convenient to use JavaScript API like HTML canvas.
- Scalable Architecture, easy to implement a GCanvas bridge by yourself following the guide [Custom Native Bridge](https://alibaba.github.io/GCanvas/docs/Custom%20Bridge.html) .
- Small size.

## Introduction

See the [Introduction to GCanvas](https://alibaba.github.io/GCanvas/docs/Developer's%20Guide.html) for a detailed introduction to GCanvas.

## Getting Started

We will continue to maintain the C++ `core` engine. And will no further update and support `Weex`、 `ReactNative` and `JS bridge`.

### Node
Follow [Node Guide](./node/README.md), use GCanvas in Node.js.

### JavaScript
Try our [Playground](https://alibaba.github.io/GCanvas/playground.html).
GCanvas has browser-like canvas APIs, so almost all of the APIs are exactly same as HTML5 canvas. At this moment, we have already supported 90% of 2D APIs and 99% of WebGL APIs. You can find out those informations in [2D APIs](https://alibaba.github.io/GCanvas/docs/Graphics%202D.html) and [WebGL APIs](https://alibaba.github.io/GCanvas/docs/WebGL.html).

## Documentation
Check [Documentation](https://alibaba.github.io/GCanvas/docs/Introduction.html) for more information.

## Examples
We take [Weex](https://github.com/apache/incubator-weex) as example, code snippet of context 2d using `GCanvas`.
```javascript
import { enable, WeexBridge, Image as GImage } from "@gcanvas/core";

var gcanvas = enable(this.$refs.canvas_holder, {bridge: WeexBridge});
var ctx = gcanvas.getContext("2d");
//rect
ctx.fillStyle = 'red';
ctx.fillRect(0, 0, 100, 100);

//rect
ctx.fillStyle = 'black';
ctx.fillRect(100, 100, 100, 100);
ctx.fillRect(25, 210, 700, 5);

//circle
ctx.arc(450, 200, 100, 0, Math.PI * 2, true);
ctx.fill();

var image = new GImage();
image.src = 'https://gw.alicdn.com/tfs/TB1KwRTlh6I8KJjy0FgXXXXzVXa-225-75.png';
image.onload = function(){
ctx.drawImage(image, 100, 300);
};
```

## Built With

* [Freetype](https://www.freetype.org/) - Used for font rendering on Android
