Go canvas

Canvas is a high-performance 2D rendering library for C++ that mimics the HTML5 Canvas API. It is built using OpenGL for hardware acceleration and offers a simple, familiar interface for developers looking to draw shapes, images, and text in desktop applications or games. Canvas focuses on ease of use, speed, and flexibility, making it suitable for GUI overlays, visualizations, and real-time 2D rendering tasks. Its API is intentionally similar to JavaScript’s Canvas API, lowering the barrier for web developers transitioning into C++ graphics work.

Support for images and texture blitting
Transformation matrix operations (rotate, scale, translate)
