This removes the GPU transform stage, changes shaders to reference transforms directly from the scene, and modifies the render context to maintain a transform stack.
The blending math had two errors: first, colors were not separated for the purpose of blending (blending was wrongly applied to premultiplied values), and second, alpha was applied over-aggressively to the alpha channel.
This PR does *not* address the issue of gamma correctness. That is a complex issue and should probably be handled in the short term by disabling sRGB conversions and doing the internal math in sRGB color space rather than linear. This will degrade the quality of antialiasing but on the other hand give spec-compliant results for compositing.
We remove the plus-darker mode as its specification does not appear to be valid. The plus-lighter mode remains as it is quite useful for cross-fading effects.
Also the generated shaders were compiled on mac so the DXIL is unsigned. Those should be compiled on Windows before this PR is merged. (and we should figure out a better strategy for all that)
We always do BeginClip/EndClip if it's a solid tile and the blend mode
is not default.
Also fix missing entry in pipeline layout (affects Vulkan but not Metal).
This patch switches to a variable size encoding of draw objects.
In addition to the CPU-side scene encoding, it changes the representation of intermediate per draw object state from the `Annotated` struct to a variable "info" encoding. In addition, the bounding boxes are moved to a separate array (for a more "structure of "arrays" approach). Data that's unchanged from the scene encoding is not copied. Rather, downstream stages can access the data from the scene buffer (reducing allocation and copying).
Prefix sums, computed in `DrawMonoid` track the offset of both scene and intermediate data. The tags for the CPU-side encoding have been split into their own stream (again a change from AoS to SoA style).
This is not necessarily the final form. There's some stuff (including at least one piet-gpu-derive type) that can be deleted. In addition, the linewidth field should probably move from the info to path-specific. Also, the 1:1 correspondence between draw object and path has not yet been broken.
Closes#152
* Add blend and composition mode enums to API
* Mirror these in the shaders
* Add new public blend function to PietGpuRenderContext that mirrors clip
* Plumb the modes through the pipeline from scene to kernel4
This PR reworks the clip implementation. The highlight is that clip bounding box accounting is now done on GPU rather than CPU. The clip mask is also rasterized on EndClip rather than BeginClip, which decreases memory traffic needed for the clip stack.
This is a pretty good working state, but not all cleanup has been applied. An important next step is to remove the CPU clip accounting (it is computed and encoded, but that result is not used). Another step is to remove the Annotated structure entirely.
Fixes#88. Also relevant to #119
This exposes interfaces to render glyphs into a texture atlas. The main changes are:
* Methods to plumb raw Metal GPU resources (device, texture, etc) into piet-gpu-hal objects.
* A new glyph_render API specialized to rendering glyphs. This is basically the same as just painting to a canvas, but will allow better caching (and has more direct access to fonts, bypassing the Piet font type which is underdeveloped).
* Ability to render to A8 target in addition to RGBA.
WIP, there are some rough edges, not least of which is that the image format changes are only on mac and cause compile errors elsewhere.
Make max workgroup size 256 and respect LG_WG_FACTOR.
Because the monoid scans only support a height of 2, this will reduce
the maximum scene complexity we can render. But it also increases
compatibility. Supporting larger scans is a TODO.
This is one of the stages in the new element pipeline. It's a simple
one, just a prefix sum of a couple counts, and some of it will probably
get merged with a downstream stage, but we'll do it separately for now
for convenience.
This patch also contains an update to Vulkan tools 1.2.198, which
accounts for the large diff of translated shaders.
This patch contains the core of the path stream processing, though some
integration bits are missing. The core logic is tested, though
combinations of path types, transforms, and line widths are not (yet).
Progress towards #119
There's a bit of reorganizing as well. Shader stages are made available
from piet-gpu to the test rig, config is now a proper structure
(marshaled with bytemuck).
This commit just has the transform stage, which is a simple monoid scan
of affine transforms.
Progress toward #119
WIP. Most of the GPU-side work should be done (though it's not tested
end-to-end and it's certainly possible I missed something), but still
needs work on encoding side.
Don't run extensions unless they're available. This includes querying
for descriptor indexing, and running one of two versions of kernel4
depending on whether it's enabled.
Part of the support needed for #78
Path segments are unsorted, but other elements are using the same
sort-middle approach as before.
This is a checkpoint. At this point, there are unoptimized versions
of tile init and coarse path raster, but it isn't wired up into a
working pipeline. Also observing about a 3x performance regression in
element processing, which needs to be investigated.
Trying to fit it into the fancy monad doesn't really work, so use a
more straightforward approach to compute it from the aggregate.
Also add yEdge logic (basically copying piet-metal). With a fix to
ELEMENT_BINNING_RATIO (which I had simply gotten wrong), the example
renders almost correctly, with small bounding box artifacts.
This version seems to work but the allocation of segments has low
utilization. Probably best to allocate in chunks rather than try to
make them contiguous.
This just adds the first step of polyline stroking, which is adding it
to the scene. Also just a bit of cleaning up of dimensions into one
header file.
Populates the piet-gpu subdir, with an extremely simple renderer. The
main program saves the image to a PNG.
Contains a few fixes (I was confused about the need for multiple
bindings, as opposed to multiple descriptors within a binding).
