Cairo Tutorial Diagrams

Here is an overview/tutorial/summary of the Cairo drawing library from a Python perspective. It's done as a single SVG file and I suggest you use Inkscape to open and view it. Zoom-in on the page and read the instructions about what fonts you'll need (they are free and widely available).

My intention in doing these and releasing the source SVG was for others to help edit them. I hope that other languages can get covered (computer and human) in this way. (I did Python because that's my thing.)

I'd appreciate any feedback (via email below and in file, this wiki is locked because of spam), it was a lot of work after all - and I can also fix mistakes that way.

I hope this helps someone out there!

Cairo Tutorial files

Please note: when you open the file in Inkscape, you need to zoom out a little and move to the right before you will see the pages.

Thanks to Terry Hancock for spotting an image bug.
