A set of implementations of piet, Rust's 2D vector graphics library, using GPU primitives. The goal is to provide fast and high quality graphics rendering using a familiar API.
The piet-hardware crate is the centerpiece of this project. It translates the piet API calls down to rendering textured triangles. In turn, it sends these rendering calls to a structure implementing the GpuContext interface. This trait represents the lower level hardware calls.
In addition to piet-hardware, this project also contains some crates that implement the piet API using piet-hardware. These are:
piet-glow, an implementation ofpietusing theglowcrate for OpenGL and WebGL calls.piet-wgpu, an implementation ofpietusing thewgpucrate.
There are no official implementations planned for Vulkan, Metal or Direct3D, since wgpu can be implemented over all of these APIs, therefore piet-wgpu can be used for all of them. Please open an issue if you think an important graphics API is missing!
