## Description

Functions for converting glyph outlines and color paint trees into SVG or PDF vector output.

hb_vector_draw_t converts monochrome glyph outlines into vector paths. Typical flow:

    hb_vector_draw_t *draw = hb_vector_draw_create_or_fail (HB_VECTOR_FORMAT_SVG);
    hb_vector_draw_set_scale_factor (draw, 64.f, 64.f);
    hb_vector_draw_set_foreground (draw, foreground);
    hb_vector_draw_glyph (draw, font, gid, pen_x, pen_y);
    hb_blob_t *svg = hb_vector_draw_render (draw);

hb_vector_paint_t renders color paint graphs (COLRv0/v1) and embedded PNG images into vector output with gradients, layers, and compositing. Typical flow:

    hb_vector_paint_t *paint = hb_vector_paint_create_or_fail (HB_VECTOR_FORMAT_SVG);
    hb_vector_paint_set_scale_factor (paint, 64.f, 64.f);
    hb_vector_paint_set_foreground (paint, foreground);
    hb_vector_paint_glyph (paint, font, gid, pen_x, pen_y,
                           HB_VECTOR_EXTENTS_MODE_EXPAND);
    hb_blob_t *svg = hb_vector_paint_render (paint);

Both contexts accumulate multiple glyphs into a single document. Call `hb_vector_draw_render()` / `hb_vector_paint_render()` to retrieve the final blob. Rendering clears all accumulated content (including extents), so retrieve any needed extents via `hb_vector_draw_get_extents()` / `hb_vector_paint_get_extents()` before rendering.

Each glyph is emitted as an independent element. If glyphs overlap and the foreground color is semi-transparent, the overlapping regions will be composited separately rather than painted as a single uniform layer.

                           hb_vector_extents_mode_t extents_mode);

Paints one glyph into `paint` . Unlike `hb_vector_paint_glyph_or_fail()`, glyphs with no color paint data fall back to a synthesized foreground-colored outline, so any glyph with an outline or bitmap image produces output.

#### Parameters

paint | a paint context. |
font | font object. |
glyph | glyph ID. |
extents_mode | extents update mode. |

Since: 14.2.0

                                   hb_codepoint_t glyph,
                                   hb_vector_extents_mode_t extents_mode);

Convenience to paint one color glyph into `paint` . Equivalent to:

    // extend extents if requested
    hb_paint_funcs_t *funcs = hb_vector_paint_get_funcs (paint);
    hb_paint_push_transform (funcs, paint, ...transform...);
    hb_font_paint_glyph_or_fail (font, glyph, funcs, paint,
      palette, foreground);
    hb_paint_pop_transform (funcs, paint);

#### Parameters

paint | a paint context. |

Since: 14.2.0

### hb_vector_paint_get_precision ()

    unsigned

#### Returns

the precision.

Since: 14.2.0

### hb_vector_paint_set_svg_prefix ()

    void
    hb_vector_paint_set_svg_prefix (hb_vector_paint_t *paint,
                                    const char *prefix);

Namespaces the paint's SVG output. Callers that inject multiple hb-vector SVGs into the same document (e.g. several glyph previews on one page) must set a distinct prefix per context so that the short IDs hb-vector uses for clipPaths, gradients, and use-refs don't collide in the DOM.

No effect on PDF output.

#### Parameters

paint | a paint context. |
prefix | a null-terminated ASCII string to prepend to every emitted SVG `id` and `url(#...)` reference, or `NULL` for none. |

Since: 14.2.0

### hb_vector_paint_get_svg_prefix ()

    const char *
    hb_vector_paint_get_svg_prefix (const hb_vector_paint_t *paint);

Returns the SVG id prefix previously set on `paint` , or `""` if none was set. The pointer remains valid until the next call to `hb_vector_paint_set_svg_prefix()` or `hb_vector_paint_reset()` on the same context.

#### Parameters

paint | a paint context. |

#### Returns

the SVG id prefix.

Since: 14.2.0

### hb_vector_paint_render ()

    hb_blob_t *
    hb_vector_paint_render (hb_vector_paint_t *paint);

Renders accumulated paint content to an output blob.

#### Parameters

Since: 13.0.0

### hb_vector_paint_clear ()

    void
    hb_vector_paint_clear (hb_vector_paint_t *paint);

Discards accumulated paint output so `paint` can be reused for another render. User configuration (transform, scale factors, precision, foreground, palette, custom palette colors) is preserved. Call `hb_vector_paint_reset()` to also reset user configuration to defaults.

#### Parameters

paint | a paint context. |

Since: 14.2.0

### hb_vector_paint_reset ()

    void
    hb_vector_paint_reset (hb_vector_paint_t *paint);

Provides a blob for internal buffer reuse by later render calls.

#### Parameters
