Automatic Drawing Generation

Computers are not just some means of having some fun, and are now important components in development of nearly everything that surrounds us. Automatic machines can build objects based on schematics, and Automatic Drawing Generation is a code library which can be used for generating technical drawings.

Key Features:

• GObject-based library


• Non-interactive cairo canvas


• Support for arcs, circles, and intersections


• Functions to define models and customize rendering


• Automation for drawing complex mechanical parts

Technical Specifications:

• Package: GTK+


• File: installer.exe


• Publisher: Nicola Fontana


• Price: FREE

One of the main requirements to make any use of this library is GTK+. The package contains necessary code in order to use functions to define a model, populate a canvas, customize the rendering, and render to a cairo surface. Overall, it’s a GObject-based library providing a non-interactive cairo canvas for technical drawings.

Additional Features:

• Example drawings included


• Properties panel for tweaking samples


• Customizable components for canvas

Apart from the library sets, the package also contains a couple of examples to display some of the features. There’s a properties panel which makes it possible to tweak the sample drawing, thus proving the variety of drawing techniques which can be implemented in projects, such as diameters, head values, rear hole, and additional machinings.

The library can build complex objects from particular shapes, starting from primitives. It natively supports arcs and circles, with intersections helping drawing functions, as well as generating offsetting complex segments. Components also make it possible to customize the canvas in order to avoid manual drawing or other methods.

The set of functions intends to make drawing of complex mechanical parts a lot easier through automation. It provides popular techniques to draw nozzles, nuts, valves, needles, and other elements and parts.
