Decal

decal is a declarative rendering library that lets you describe scenes using a Rust-native DSL and render them to SVG or PNG.

Scene descriptions are backend-agnostic and can be serialized into vector (SVG, native) or raster (PNG using resvg) output while preserving layout semantics and visual fidelity.

Usage

At a high level, the flow looks like this:

1. Build a scene using the decal! macro and primitives like Row, Column, Text, Image, etc.
2. Initialize an Engine with fonts and options.
3. Render the scene to SVG (vectorize) or rasterize it to a bitmap (rasterize).

use decal::prelude::*;
use std::fs;

fn main() {
    let mut engine = Engine::new(EngineOptions::default());

    let mut scene = decal! {
        Block {}
            .size(256)
            .background(rgb(0xffffff))
    };

    let (svg, _size) = engine
        .vectorize(&mut scene, &VectorizeOptions::default())
        .unwrap();

    fs::write("./markup.svg", svg).unwrap();

    let (pixmap, _size) = engine
        .rasterize(&mut scene, &RasterizeOptions::default())
        .unwrap();

    pixmap.save_png("./render.png").unwrap();
}
