lib.rs:

A GPU-accelerated 2D graphics backend for piet that uses the wgpu crate.

This crate follows the wgpu middleware pattern, but in a somewhat unique way.

  • The user creates the WgpuContext by calling new() with a device and expected texture format.
  • Before rendering, the user creates a RenderContext by calling prepare() on the WgpuContext with a Device and a Queue. prepare() returns the context, which is expected to be written to.
  • Finally, by calling render on the WgpuContext, the user renders all of the material that was written to the RenderContext using the piet API.
