piet-hardware

piet-hardware is a strategy for implementing the piet drawing interface using GPU primitives. The goal is to break down the drawing operations to rendering textured triangles. The resulting buffers are than passed to the GPU backend for rendering.

As piet-hardware simply implements the high-level strategy, it has no unsafe code. The actual GPU calls are forwarded to an object that implements GpuContext. This object is intended to be an interface to OpenGL, Vulkan, Metal, or other GPU APIs.
