Built-for-purpose, minimal 2D graphics library.
Working on documentation, but the file examples/jamboree.py is pretty comprehensive.
To pre-create the glyphs and atlas, there's a command line tool, e.g.:
python -m mglg.util.prebake_font examples\UbuntuMono-B.ttf fonts\
Which saves a pickled file (in this case, fonts\UbuntuMono-B.pklfont
) that includes the atlas, glyphs, and other info to avoid touching the font file. Add --view
to see the atlas.
freetype-py
is required to generate pickled fonts or do on-the-fly font loading, and can be installed either via pip install freetype-py
or pip install mglg[freetype]
.
