# libpix - A graphics library that's simple
The library provides a frame buffer and simple `put-pixel` and `save-to-file` routines. Thats all
you require to test and play around with graphics.
Simply draw to the frame buffer save to a file then see the output!
It is increasingly becoming difficult to get a simple buffer and start drawing. I do somewhat
understand why this is so - we are not living in DOS times! But still the barrier to start working
with graphics should not be this hard.
This GUI toolkit, this provides just a buffer where one can put pixels then save the buffer to a PPM
file and see the output.
### Why PPM and not any other file format?
Because its a simple image format ([Wikipedia - Netpbm](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netpbm)) and is supported in Linux.
## Example:
```rust
use libpix::{Canvas, PPMFormats};
const WIDTH: usize = 400;
const HEIGHT: usize = 400;
fn main() {
let mut c = Canvas::new(WIDTH, HEIGHT, PPMFormats::RAW);
for x in 0..WIDTH {
for y in 0..HEIGHT {
if (x ^ y) % 7 == 0 {
c.put_pixel(x, y, 0xFF0000);
}
}
}
c.save_to_file("example.ppm").expect("Could not save image");
}
```
