# cairo-rs
This library provides [Cairo](http://cairographics.org) bindings for the [Rust](http://rust-lang.org/) programming language.

The library attempts to provide exactly the same API as the C library, however some changes were necessary due to the presence of C unions and the like which do not have convenient Rust counterparts.

Currently in an experimental state, cairo-rs is most likely not anywhere near bug-free.

## Dependencies
You'll need to have the [cairo development libraries](http://cairographics.org/download/) to link with.

On Windows, you'll need to rename `libcairo.dll.a` to `libcairo.a` and place it in in `C:\Rust\bin\rustlib\i686-pc-mingw32\lib` or `C:\Rust\bin\rustlib\x86_64-pc-windows-gnu\lib`.

## Usage
To install using the Git repository, add the following to your Cargo.toml:

```ini
[dependencies.cairo-sys]
git = "https://github.com/cyderize/cairo-rs.git"
path = "cairo-sys"
```

And add the line

```rust
extern crate "cairo-sys" as cairo_sys;
```

to your crate root.

## Example
An example can be run with
```
cargo run --example main
```
