Editor

This is an experimental Editor layer that abstracts out SkShaper text layeout for easy embedding into an application. The Editor layer is agnostic about the operating system.

The Application layer must interact with the:

  • Windowing system
  • File system
  • Clipboard
  • Keyboard/mouse input.

Try it out:

tools/git-sync-deps
bin/gn gen out/default
ninja -C out/default editor

out/default/editor resources/text/english.txt

cat resources/text/*.txt > example.txt
