Skia is an open source 2D graphics library which provides common APIs that work across a variety of hardware and software platforms.
Skija provides high-quality Java bindings for Skia.
processing-skia does the backend work of setting Skija's render target to Processing, so you can easily use any Skija bindings to draw into a Processing sketch.
- Java 11+ (Processing 4)
- A Processing sketch using either the
P2DorP3Drenderer.
Download a .jar of processing-skia from releases.
import micycle.processingSkia.SkiaCanvas; import org.jetbrains.skija.*; Canvas skiaCanvas; @Override public void settings() { size(800, 800, P2D); } @Override public void setup() { skiaCanvas = SkiaCanvas.getSkiaCanvas(this); } @Override public void draw() { background(255); Paint fill = new Paint().setShader(Shader.makeLinearGradient(400, 300, 400, 500, new int[] {0xFFFFA500, 0xFF4CA387})); skiaCanvas.drawCircle(400, 400, 200, fill); } 
A number of example Processing sketches are provided in examples.

Further work would wrap the Skija library itself, creating Processing-like bindings around Skija's API (a PGraphicsSkia) leading to the possibility of a dedicated Skia-based renderer in Processing.
