## Overview
Skia is organized around the `SkCanvas` object. It is the host for the "draw"
calls: `drawRect`, `drawPath`, `drawText`, etc. Each of these has two
components: the primitive being drawn (`SkRect`, `SkPath`, etc.) and color/style
attributes (`SkPaint`).
<!--?prettify lang=cc?-->
canvas->drawRect(rect, paint);
The paint holds much of the state describing how the rectangle (in this case) is
drawn: what color it is, if it is filled or stroked, how it should blend with
what was previously drawn.
The canvas holds relatively little state. It points to the actual pixels being
drawn, and it maintains a stack of matrices and clips. Thus in the above call,
the canvas' current matrix may transform the coordinates of the rectangle
(translation, rotation, skewing, perspective), and the canvas' current clip may
restrict where on the canvas the rectangle will be drawn, but all other
stylistic attributes of the drawing are controlled by the paint.
Using the SkCanvas API:
1. [SkCanvas Overview](/docs/user/api/skcanvas_overview) - the drawing context
2. [SkPaint Overview](/docs/user/api/skpaint_overview) - color, stroke, font,
effects
3. [SkCanvas Creation](/docs/user/api/skcanvas_creation)
