The cairo driver uses the Pango/Cairo subset of the <a class="ulink" href="https://www.gtk.org/" target="_top">GTK+ suite of libraries </a> to produce
plots in the PDF, PostScript, EPS (Encapsulated PostScript), PNG, and
SVG file formats. Text and graphics are antialised, font selection is
done automatically for any given unicode glyph requested using the
recommended fontconfig approach, and complex text layout is used to
render text. As a result this driver is considered to be one of our
two best (our qt driver described in <a class="xref" href="qt-driver.html" title="The qt driver">the section called “The qt driver”</a> is
the other) file device drivers.
