explore an high-level accelerated 2D graphics API on the Raspberry Pi (or
any platform that had the OpenVG C API), and yes, with some work (things
like adding mouse support and animation) it could be the basis for UI work.
Currently it does not support video playback directly, but if you look at
the deck library [1] with its clients "vgdeck" [2], and service "sex" [3]
(slide execution), you will see an example graphical client, and a method
for displaying "media" (text and graphics in the form of slide decks), with
the ability to show videos by executing a playback client.

Hi,
I'm working on a project that requires a beautiful UI. It consists of
anti-aliased text with shadows, translucent images and playing of videos.
The possibility of visualizations and other UI elements exist as well.
The target device is similar to a tablet and has OpenGL ES 2.0 and 3.1
capabilities and I'll need to take advantage of them since we're displaying
at 4K (3840 x 2160 pixels) resolution.
I like Go and it seems like it might solve this need well!
I came across:
[1] https://github.com/memononen/nanovg
[2] https://github.com/ajstarks/openvg
NanoVG seems like it might be just the right library and OpenVG seems like
a very similar concept with a Golang API!
I see it handles anti-aliased text and images from the examples, but I'm
not sure about shadows/gradients and playing of videos.
If I already have decoded the video data via some OpenMAX capable software
would these libraries or something else to render that to the screen? Is
there a Golang video player?
My question: Are these the right libraries to be looking at for graphics /
UI in Golang? Or can someone point me in the right direction?
Best,
Sri
