1# Libboard: a vector graphics C++ library 2 3<img src="https://foureys.users.greyc.fr/board/doc/LibBoardLogoII_Small.png"> 4 5## The LibBoard C++ library 6 7#### Purpose 8 9The LibBoard C++ library allows the drawing of Postscript, SVG, and FIG (XFig) 10vector graphics using the C++ programming language. 11 12It is suitable for adding SVG/EPS/FIG output support to a program; but also for 13drawing graphics that involve a large (huge?) number of primitives. In the 14latter case, one can indeed use loops, variables, functions and all C++ 15features. Produced files may afterwards be edited using dedicated tools. 16 17### Features 18 19 20For now, LibBoard can handle primitives like lines, rectangles, triangles, polylines, circles, ellipses, bitmap images and text. See the [TODO](TODO) file for a list of features that should be added in future releases. 21 22### Documentation 23 24 * See the Doxygen-made [documentation](https://foureys.users.greyc.fr/board/doc/0.9.4/). 25 26 * [Sample codes](EXAMPLES.md) with their output. 27 28### Licence 29 30Starting with version 0.9.0, LibBoard is distributed under the term of the [GNU Lesser General Public License](LICENSE). 31 32#### Citing LibBoard 33 34LibBoard: A vector graphics C++ library (Version 0.9.4).
