Code Diff: v1.56.0...v1.56.1

SkiaSharp.Views

A set of pre-prepared UI views, panels and surfaces for drawing. One of these views can be added to the view hierachy, and then be used for drawing without the need for complex setup. There is also a set of extension methods for converting to/from SkiaSharp and native types.

NuGet: https://www.nuget.org/packages/SkiaSharp.Views/1.56.1

SkiaSharp.Views.Forms

A set of pre-prepared views for Xamarin.Forms, for fully cross-platform drawing code. There are views for both CPU and GPU backends, along with extension methods for converting to/from SkiaSharp and Xamarin.Forms types. Currently available for iOS, Android and UWP.

NuGet: https://www.nuget.org/packages/SkiaSharp.Views.Forms/1.56.1

SkiaSharp.Svg (preview)

Support for SVG has been a hot topic, but Google has stated that this is not going to be a feature coming soon (or at all). However, we do want to support SVG. To this end, we are trying out a lightweight SVG parser.

This goes in part with SKSvgCanvas, which is used to create SVG files. Although both are still "preview" areas because not all the features of SVG have been implemented yet, they are both still very usable for most cases.

  • ★ Fixes the handling of the viewbox (#230)
