SkiaSharp

SkiaSharp is a cross-platform 2D graphics API for .NET platforms based on Google's Skia Graphics Library (https://skia.org/). It provides a comprehensive 2D API that can be used across mobile, server and desktop models to render images.

SkiaSharp provides cross-platform bindings for:

• .NET Standard 1.3
• .NET Core
• Tizen
• Xamarin.Android
• Xamarin.iOS
• Xamarin.tvOS
• Xamarin.watchOS
• Xamarin.Mac
• Windows Classic Desktop (Windows.Forms / WPF)
• Windows UWP (Desktop / Mobile / Xbox / HoloLens)

The API Documentation is available on the web to browse.

Using SkiaSharp

SkiaSharp is available as a convenient NuGet package, to use install the package like this:

nuget install SkiaSharp

Because there are multiple distros of Linux, and we cannot possibly support them all, we have a separate NuGet package that will contain the supported binaries for a few distros: SkiaSharp.NativeAssets.Linux. (distros) (more info)

Building SkiaSharp

Before building SkiaSharp:

• Python 2.7 is available in the PATH environment variable on Windows
• Android NDK r15 is available in the ANDROID_NDK_HOME environment variable on macOS
• .NET Core is installed on all platforms
• C/C++ Compiler (MSVC / "Desktop development" package on Windows)

First, clone the repository:

$ git clone https://github.com/mono/SkiaSharp.git

Next, set up the submodules:

$ cd SkiaSharp
$ git submodule update --init --recursive

Finally, build everything:

Mac/Linux:

$ ./bootstrapper.sh -t everything

Windows:

> .\bootstrapper.ps1 -t everything
