This is a (hopefully short-term) fork of the excellent glyphon project which adds text rotation support. The approach here is used by the Avenger visualization project, but is not sufficiently general as to be included in glyphon itself. See discussion in https://github.com/grovesNL/glyphon/pull/64 for background.

Fast, simple 2D text rendering for wgpu

crates.io docs.rs Minimum Rust Version Build Status

What is this?

This crate provides a simple way to render 2D text with wgpu by:

  • shaping/calculating layout/rasterizing glyphs (with cosmic-text)
  • packing the glyphs into texture atlas (with etagere)
  • sampling from the texture atlas to render text (with wgpu)

To avoid extra render passes, rendering uses existing render passes (following the middleware pattern described in wgpu's Encapsulating Graphics Work wiki page.
