Macaw
Powerful and easy-to-use vector graphics Swift library with SVG support
We are a development agency building phenomenal apps.
What is Macaw?
Macaw is a powerful and easy-to-use vector graphics library written in Swift.
It's simple
Get started with Macaw in several lines of code:
class MyView: MacawView {
required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
let text = Text(text: "Hello, World!", place: .move(dx: 145, dy: 100))
super.init(node: text, coder: aDecoder)
}
}
It has SVG support
Include Scalable Vector Graphics right into your iOS application:
It's powerful
Affine transformations, user events, animation and various effects to build beautiful apps with Macaw:
Motivation
Modern designs contain tons of illustrations and complex animations. Mobile developers have to spend a lot of time on converting designs into native views that will be resizable for different screens. With Macaw you can reduce development time to a minimum and describe all graphics in high level scene elements. Or even render SVG graphics right from your design tool with Macaw events and animation support.
