Package Architecture

Svg.Skia is composed of several layers that can be used independently or together.

Core rendering path

Svg.Custom vendors and packages the upstream SVG object model used to parse documents.
Svg.Model converts parsed SVG content into a picture-recorder model based on ShimSkiaSharp.
Svg.Skia turns that model into SkiaSharp.SKPicture, exposes helpers for loading and exporting, and adds hit-testing support.

Avalonia integration

Svg.Controls.Skia.Avalonia builds Avalonia controls around Svg.Skia.
Svg.Controls.Avalonia exposes a similar API surface but renders through the Avalonia drawing model.
Skia.Controls.Avalonia provides reusable general-purpose Skia controls such as SKCanvasControl, SKPictureControl, and SKPictureImage.

Editor composition path

Svg.Editor.Core carries shared editor session state and history.
Svg.Editor.Svg carries document mutation, properties, layers, patterns, symbols, styles, and tool-creation services.
Svg.Editor.Skia carries the editing math and overlay rendering.
Svg.Editor.Avalonia carries reusable side panels, editor views, and dialog abstractions.
Svg.Editor.Skia.Avalonia composes the full interactive editor workspace on top of the lower layers.

Generated-code path

Svg.CodeGen.Skia generates C# from the picture model.
Svg.SourceGenerator.Skia hosts the incremental Roslyn generator package.
samples/svgc demonstrates manual file-to-C# generation.

Typical namespace map

Namespace	Role

`Avalonia.Controls.Skia`	general-purpose Skia controls for Avalonia
`Svg.Editor.Core`	editor session, settings, nodes, artboards, clipboard
`Svg.Editor.Svg`	editor document mutation services and models
`Svg.Editor.Skia`	editor selection, path editing, and overlay rendering
`Svg.Editor.Avalonia`	reusable editor controls, dialogs, and views
`Svg.Editor.Skia.Avalonia`	interactive editor surface and workspace
`ShimSkiaSharp`	picture-recorder model used for command inspection and rebuild

Repository shape

src/ contains the shipping libraries.
samples/ contains demo apps and CLI utilities.
tests/ covers renderer behavior, Avalonia integration, source generation, and VectorDrawable support.
externals/ holds the vendored SVG source and external reference suites.
