Hardware Rendering through Skia interface

[deepak garg]

Hi,
I know that skia a Software rendering library, but i was wondering
is it possible to route skia rendering calls through a GPU, it is possible?
if then how to go about it?

regards

There is an opengl backend for skia. Look at SkGLCanvas.h. This canvas
subclass will redirect all drawing to the current opengl context.

There is no openvg backend yet, but since its API is similarly
structured, it might also fit into this pattern if you're interested.

Mike what i could get is, using SKGLCanvas.h we can bind glcontext to skia,
and use skia rendering engine to draw over it. is it correct?

Correct. SkGLCanvas just issues GL calls (by converting the in-comming
skia calls like drawRect).
