What is Sanaviron?

The Sanaviron Project is an 2D drawing engine fully written in Python for represent composite vector graphics. This is essentially a GTK+ Cairo based canvas.

The effort focuses mainly on the design of budgets, invoices, labels and many other types of commercial documents.

Sanaviron offers a simple but powerful high level API that you can implement in their programs.

This widget can be used for flexible display of graphics and/or creating documents interactively.

Sanaviron is a GTK+/Cairo dependent component, so it is portable to many plataforms.

Sanaviron is 100% pure Python, but because the libraries used, it is easy to translate into ANSI-C using GObject mechanism and much easier to translate into C++.
