development environments or emulators are needed. This saves time and effort,

+Evas provides alpha blending, high quality scaling of images, anti-aliased
+truetype text, gradients, lines, polygons and more. The list of supported
+objects is growing, and can be extended via smart objects. It has an interface
+mechanism to allow for video data to be efficiently handled (which is what

+Ecore is a modular group of very closely linked libraries that provide core
+event loop functionality and related tasks. As the core event loop it
+provides conversion of system signals into events, to avoid having to have
+re-entrant code, handle basic file descriptor watching and passing off
+control to appropriate callback routines where needed, handling timers, idle
+calls, and other general program infrastructure and loop code.

+It also provides easy to use wrappers around common systems such as X, Evas
+(for setup and combining with X), the framebuffer, configuration management,
+inter process communication, socket handling, client/server programming, text
+encoding conversions (e.g. EUCJP to UTF8), deferred job handling and more. This
+library is a big time saver and core infrastructure library that can be used
+to do all the basic things applications need to do, with minimal code and
+effort.
