This should not be really necessary, as we are not really drawing anything with the measure brush... But we are using `glyph_brush` in an unconventional way, so that may be the cause. We need to redesign `wgpu_glyph` or come up with an alternative. |

iced_wgpu
iced_wgpu is a wgpu renderer for iced_native. For now, it is the default renderer of Iced in native platforms.
wgpu supports most modern graphics backends: Vulkan, Metal, DX11, and DX12 (OpenGL and WebGL are still WIP). Additionally, it will support the incoming WebGPU API.
Currently, iced_wgpu supports the following primitives:
- Text, which is rendered using
wgpu_glyph. No shaping at all. - Quads or rectangles, with rounded borders and a solid background color.
- Images, lazily loaded from the filesystem.
- Clip areas, useful to implement scrollables or hide overflowing content.
Installation
Add iced_wgpu as a dependency in your Cargo.toml:
iced_wgpu = "0.1.0"
Iced moves fast and the master branch can contain breaking changes! If
you want to learn about a specific release, check out the release list.
Current limitations
The current implementation is quite naive, it uses:
- A different pipeline/shader for each primitive
- A very simplistic layer model: every
Clipprimitive will generate new layers - Many render passes instead of preparing everything upfront
- A glyph cache that is trimmed incorrectly when there are multiple layers (a
glyph_brushlimitation)
Some of these issues are already being worked on! If you want to help, get in touch!
