About:
Libmypaint is the brush engine behind MyPaint, designed for use in other graphics applications.

This library provides a high-performance, dependency-free core for integrating expressive digital painting capabilities.

Key Features:

High-performance stroke rendering engine
Support for complex procedural brush settings
Input handling for pressure, tilt, and velocity
Minimal external dependencies for easy integration

Use Cases:

Integrating a natural media painting engine into a custom graphics editor
Adding advanced brush dynamics to existing drawing applications
Developing cross-platform digital art software
