GPU-based 2D graphics rendering in rust.
For now the goal is to provide efficient SVG-compliant path tessellation tools to help with rendering vector graphics on the GPU. For now think of this library as a way to turn complex paths into triangles for use in your own rendering engine.
The intent is for this library to be useful in projects like Servo and games.
```rust // Build a Path. let mut builder = SvgPathBuilder::new(Path::builder()); builder.moveto(point(0.0, 0.0)); builder.lineto(point(1.0, 0.0)); builder.quadraticbezierto(point(2.0, 0.0), point(2.0, 1.0)); builder.cubicbezierto(point(1.0, 1.0), point(0.0, 1.0), point(0.0, 0.0)); builder.close(); let path = builder.build();
// Will contain the result of the tessellation.
let mut geometry_cpu: VertexBuffers<Vec2> = VertexBuffers::new();
let mut tessellator = FillTessellator::new();
{
// The simple builder uses the tessellator's vertex type.
// You can implement the GeometryBuilder trait to create custom vertices.
let mut vertex_builder = simple_builder(&mut geometry_cpu);
// Compute the tessellation.
tessellator.tessellate_path(
path.path_iter().flattened(0.1),
&FillOptions::default(),
&mut vertex_builder
).unwrap();
}
// The tessellated geometry is ready to be uploaded to the GPU.
println!(" -- {} vertices {} indices",
geometry_cpu.vertices.len(),
geometry_cpu.indices.len()
);
```
The project is split into small crates:
- lyon_tessellation - Path tessellation routines.
- lyonpathbuilder - Tools to facilitate building paths.
- lyonpathiterator - Tools to facilitate iteratring over paths.
- lyon_path - A simple optional path data structure, provided for convenience.
- lyon_bezier - Cubic and Quadratic 2d bezier math.
- lyon_extra - Additional testing and debugging tools.
- lyon_core - Common types to most lyon crates.There is also a toy command-line tool to tessellate SVG path from your favorite terminal.
Have a look at the gfx-rs example to see how integrating the tessellators in a renderer can look like.
