Go API

The documentation is still in its early state and subject to change. Please expect API changes until boxes and glue hits version 1.

First document

This is the first place to go when you want to create a document with boxes and glue. You start with an empty directory and finish with a one page PDF file with a text broken into lines.

The frontend library

The frontend library is the high-level “nice to have” library which makes it easy to load fonts, create text and place them in the PDF.

The backend library

The backend library is the low-level “hard word” library which gives you the ultimate freedom to put anything you want into the PDF file. You have to take care of creating the correct data structures needed for the PDF.
