From release 1.55.0 SkiaSharp has the support for reading SVG files. The package has been release few days ago (10 Nov. 2016) and I couldn't find enough documentation on how to use it. The following packages are required: SkiaSharp 1.55.0 SkiaSharp Views & Layers 1.55.0 SkiaSharp.Svg 1.55.0-beta1 The first question is what's the best way to load an SKSvg in Xamarin.Android? Here two possible solutions to start working with SkiaSharp that are working for me: Loading SVG from Asset folder (or subfolder): public SKSvg LoadAnSvgFromAssets(Context ctx, string assetSvgFileLoc) { var assets = ctx

I want to draw rich text like iOS's Attributed Text or Xamarin.Forms's FormattedString with SkiaSharp , but I can't find how to. I found the DrawText method, but it's for simple text rendering with one color and one font. No mixed colors and/or fonts and no styles like bold, italic, strike-through, or underline. Do I have to do it with my own rich text rendering logic? This is doable using the SKPaint type. Basically, as you draw, you set the properties on the paint: var paint = new SKPaint(); paint.StrikeThruText = true; paint.TextSize = 24; paint.Color = SKColors.Yellow; paint.UnderlineText

How to draw rotated text in SkiaSharp . Currently I'm rotating the SKCanvas , drawing the text and then rotating it back. But I thought may be there is a more efficient way to do this. canvas.RotateDegrees(45, 20, 20); canvas.DrawText("Text", 20, 20, paint); canvas.RotateDegrees(-45, 20, 20); That is the correct way (the only way, I think). It is not that inefficient as you are not really rotating the canvas, but rather adjusting the drawing matrix (an int[9] array). Under the hood it is doing something like this: var m = SKMatrix.CreateRotation(45); // simple struct over int[9] canvas
