Evas is a
canvas abstraction
API for
X-Windows that uses
Imlib2, as well as
OpenGL, and
X11. It serves as a
canvas accelerator and abstraction.
It can ie draw
anti-aliased text, smooth super and sub-sampled images,
alpha-blend, as well as drop down to using normal X11 primitives such as
pixmaps, lines and rectangles for speed if your CPU or graphics hardware are too slow.
Evas is a part of
Enlightenment 0.17.
