Prerequisite

Explore the essential Python skills required to begin using Pycairo for vector graphics. This lesson prepares you to work confidently with Python code to create advanced drawings, regardless of prior graphics knowledge.

We'll cover the following...

Basic Python

This course is primarily aimed at developers with, at least, a small amount of experience working with Python and those who want to use Python to create computer graphics for any application. The examples in the course use basic Python constructs, so we don’t need to be a Python guru to learn about the workings of Pycairo.

No prior knowledge of computer graphics is assumed. Even if you are familiar with other graphics systems, you will still find this course useful since Pycairo has its own unique features.
