Kotlin Multiplatform library for Skia and window management
Skiko (short for Skia for Kotlin) is the graphical library exposing significant part
of Skia library APIs to Kotlin, along with the gluing code for rendering context.
Supported platforms:
Kotlin/JVM on Linux(x86_64 and arm64)
Kotlin/JVM on Windows(x86_64)
Kotlin/JVM on macOS(x86_64 and arm64)
Kotlin/JVM on Android(x86_64 and arm64), starting with API version 24
Kotlin/JS + WebAssembly in browsers
Kotlin/Native on iOS(arm64 and x64)
Kotlin/Native on macOS (arm64 and x64)
API documentation
See autogenerated API docs at https://jetbrains.github.io/skiko/
Using as dependency
To use in build scripts one has to compute appropriate target platform and version,
i.e. something like this
Simple example for Kotlin/JVM
Simple example for iOS
