## What is Macaw?

<img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/exyte/Macaw/master/logo.png" width="300">

Macaw is a powerful and easy-to-use vector graphics library written in Swift.

#### It's simple

Get started with Macaw in several lines of code:

```swift
class MyView: MacawView {

	required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
		let text = Text(text: "Hello, World!", place: .move(dx: 145, dy: 100))
		super.init(node: text, coder: aDecoder)
	}

}
```

## Motivation

Modern designs contain tons of illustrations and complex animations. Mobile developers have to spend a lot of time on converting designs into native views that will be resizable for different screens. With Macaw you can reduce development time to a minimum and describe all graphics in high level [scene](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scene_graph) elements. Or even render SVG graphics right from your design tool with Macaw events and animation support.
