Main pages

Synfig components

Synfig is divided into three main components: etl, synfig-core and synfig-studio.

  • ETL is the extended template library. One of its most important components is the shared object class, which is the base class for most other parts of the application. Using "handles" to shared objects instead of c++ pointers provides garbage collection via reference counting.
  • Synfig-core is the core/command-line (cli) renderer ("synfig") contains the document data structure for the application: valuenodes, layers, and canvases.
  • Synfig Studio ("synfig-studio") provides the gui for the application.
  • See also: How Synfig Works
