library0.9.2pypypi✓ verified 82d ago

skia-pathops is a Python library that provides access to boolean operations on 2D vector paths using Google's Skia graphics library. It's currently at version 0.9.2, seeing relatively frequent updates that often align with upstream Skia library changes or Python version support.

Path

✓ from pathops import Path

✗ from skia_pathops import Path

This quickstart demonstrates how to create two simple rectangular paths and perform a union operation using `OpBuilder`. The result is a new `Path` object representing the combined shape.

from skia_pathops import Path, PathOp, OpBuilder # Create two simple paths path1 = Path() path1.moveTo(0, 0) path1.lineTo(100, 0) path1.lineTo(100, 100) path1.lineTo(0, 100) path1.close() path2 = Path() path2.moveTo(50, 50) path2.lineTo(150, 50) path2.lineTo(150, 150) path2.lineTo(50, 150) path2.close() # Perform a union operation builder = OpBuilder() builder.op(path1, path2, PathOp.UNION) union_path = builder.resolve().pop() # resolve returns a list of paths print(f"Original path 1 contour count: {len(path1.getContours())}") print(f"Original path 2 contour count: {len(path2.getContours())}") print(f"Union path contour count: {len(union_path.getContours())}") # You can inspect the points of the resulting path (simplified output) first_contour_points = union_path.getContours()[0].points print(f"First contour points (first 3): {first_contour_points[:3]}")

Debug

Known issues

breakingPython 3.8 and 3.9 support was dropped in `v0.9.0`. Users on these Python versions must either upgrade their Python environment or pin to an older `skia-pathops` version.

fix

Upgrade Python to 3.10 or newer, or `pip install 'skia-pathops<0.9.0'`.

affects: >=0.9.0

breakingPython 3.7 support was dropped in `v0.8.0`. Users on Python 3.7 must upgrade their Python environment or use an older `skia-pathops` version.

fix

Upgrade Python to 3.8 or newer, or `pip install 'skia-pathops<0.8.0'`.

affects: >=0.8.0

gotchaWhen building from source, `skia-pathops` typically bundles and compiles `libskia`. To use a system-installed or externally compiled `libskia` instead, you must set the `BUILD_SKIA_FROM_SOURCE=0` environment variable.

fix

Before `pip install`, set `export BUILD_SKIA_FROM_SOURCE=0` (Linux/macOS) or `$env:BUILD_SKIA_FROM_SOURCE=0` (PowerShell) to disable embedded Skia build.

affects: all

breakingThe `PathPen` interface's `curveTo` and `qCurveTo` methods changed to support a variable number of points, aligning with the fontTools BasePen protocol. This can break custom `Pen` implementations.

fix

Update custom `PathPen` implementations to handle variable arguments for `curveTo` (4 or 6 points) and `qCurveTo` (2 or 4 points) as per the updated BasePen protocol.

affects: >=0.7.4
