Installing

Note that thorvg is included in the wheel package, you need not install libthorvg. Version bundled is the version available on Conan (Currently 1.0.4)

To install, run the following:

pip3 install thorvg-python

Pillow is optional dependency. It is required for SwCanvas.get_pillow(). To also install Pillow, run:

pip3 install thorvg-python[full]

Examples

Drawing and getting pillow image

import thorvg_python as tvg

engine = tvg.Engine(threads=4)
canvas = tvg.SwCanvas(engine)
canvas.set_target(512, 256)  # w, h

rect = tvg.Shape(engine)
rect.append_rect(10, 10, 64, 64, 10, 10, True)  # x, y, w, h, rx, ry, clockwise
rect.set_fill_color(32, 64, 128, 100)  # r, g, b, a
canvas.add(rect)

canvas.update()
canvas.draw(True)
canvas.sync()

im = canvas.get_pillow()
im.save("test.png")
canvas.destroy()
engine.term()

Rendering lottie animation

import thorvg_python as tvg
from PIL import Image

engine = tvg.Engine(threads=4)
canvas = tvg.SwCanvas(engine)
canvas.set_target(512, 512)  # w, h

animation = tvg.LottieAnimation(engine)
picture = animation.get_picture()
picture.load("tests/test.json")
picture.set_size(512, 512)

canvas.push(picture)

ims: list[Image.Image] = []
result, total_frame = animation.get_total_frame()
result, duration = animation.get_duration()
frame_duration = duration / total_frame
# fps = total_frame / duration
for i in range(int(total_frame)):
    animation.set_frame(i)
    canvas.update()
    canvas.draw(True)
    canvas.sync()
    im = canvas.get_pillow()
    ims.append(im)

ims[0].save("test.apng", save_all=True, append_images=ims[1:], duration=frame_duration * 1000)

Building from source

To build wheel, run the following:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/laggykiller/thorvg-python.git
cd thorvg-python

# To build wheel
python3 -m build .

# To install directly
pip3 install .

Development

To run tests:

pip install pytest
pytest

To lint:

pip install ruff mypy isort
mypy
isort .
ruff check
ruff format
