About:
Cairomm is a C++ wrapper library for the Cairo 2D graphics library, providing an object-oriented interface for creating vector graphics. It simplifies drawing complex shapes, gradients, and text with automatic resource management. The 1.14 series offers stable bindings compatible with older Cairo versions, ideal for maintaining legacy C++ applications.

Key Features:

C++ interface for Cairo 2D graphics
Automatic resource management via RAII
Support for paths, patterns, and transformations
Compatibility with Cairo 1.14.x

Use Cases:

Developing C++ applications requiring vector graphics rendering
Creating cross-platform GUI components with Cairo
Migrating legacy C++ code from raw C Cairo API

Alternatives:

cairomm@1.16 – Newer version with Cairo 1.16+ features, but requires newer Cairo
Cairo (C API) – Direct C API offers more control but lacks C++ convenience
