Note that this is evidence in favor of https://github.com/gfx-rs/naga/issues/2098 - my code is actually wrong, and it was caught by trying to port it to run in Chrome Canary.
Still one flaw, fat lines aren't expanded with strokes in path coarse rasterization. But that's a small visual ding, and can be fixed
That said, there is some really strange stuff going on in tile_alloc. It's using storage to do a uniform broadcast (the result of bump allocation for the workgroup), which is not great at all. It should be using workgroup storage, but on my mac it behaves as if the workgroup barrier is not in place. Investigating.
All streams of the scene are combined into a single buffer. This is very much like existing piet-gpu, however the various outputs from the compute stages (whether computed on CPU or GPU) will retain their separate bindings, which is more native to WGSL.
There's a touch of ergonomics loss, in particular when we do transforms we'll need to unmarshal them by hand, but I think overall not too bad.
The bones of coarse rasterization are in place (so far, fills only). Still not suitable for end-to-end (need to generate bounding boxes, among other things), but getting closer.
This lets us use https://github.com/wgsl-analyzer/wgsl-analyzer for writing the wgsl files.
The imports (for wgsl-analyzer) have to be machine specific at the moment - to use this you need to configure .vscode/settings.json yourself. The alternative is to point them at static files on GitHub, which is tempting to make things easier, but would potentially go out of sync with what is actually used.
Starting an experimental port to WGSL shader language, using wgpu to run the examples. As of this commit, it's quite hacky and takes some shortcuts, but does render paths to a grayscale texture.
* Fix call to removed encoded_scene method in pgpu-render
* Add new ImageFormat::Surface variant to select a pixel format that matches the platform specific surface format. This makes gradients consistent across platforms.
Removes the dependency on the piet crate and replaces all uses with the scene crate. Also does some cleanup of the scene API, renaming some types and moving them all to the crate root for better ergonomics.
