Description

Certain parts of aggdraw are only available if running/built on Windows or if aggdraw was built with freetype support. Right now I'm making aggdraw docs on readthedocs which is not as easy to accomplish this stuff with. I see two options:

  1. Generate documentation on travis/appveyor (that would mean building on Windows with freetype).
  2. Manually copy/document those pieces of the package in the .rst files.

Research direction

Review the existing Read the Docs setup and the package's .rst files, then compare the two proposed approaches: generating documentation through Travis/AppVeyor or documenting the conditional Windows and FreeType-supported pieces manually. Done means the platform- and build-dependent API is represented consistently in the published documentation.
