Replaces the bindless `binding_array<texture_2d<f32>>` the renderer bound every texture through. That array needs `VK_EXT_descriptor_indexing`, which a real share of Android GPUs lack, so the old shape did not run there at all. The two things being bound want opposite treatment, so they are now split: - **Glyph atlas pages become layers of one `texture_2d_array`.** A glyph primitive carries a `layer` instead of a view/sampler index pair. A layer index is an ordinary sampling operand, so this needs nothing beyond plain Vulkan 1.0 / GLES. Growing the atlas recreates the array with headroom and `copy_texture_to_texture`s the old layers across, no readback. - **A standalone image gets its own texture and its own bind group,** and draws in its own call. It no longer needs a per-instance entry in `PrimitiveData`: the bind group has already picked the texture. `Primitives` keeps images in a list of their own as a result, with `PrimitiveChange::is_image` naming which list a renumbering belongs to -- the two have independent index spaces, so `(layer, inst_idx)` alone would collide between them. Two notes on judgement calls, since this slice was rebuilt on top of `main` rather than transplanted: - The source version renamed `GlyphEntry::is_colored` to `is_color` and added a second `IS_COLOR` flag constant beside the existing `GlyphEntry::IS_COLORED`. Both dropped: #10's naming and its `flags()` are kept, and UVs stay `Vec2` rather than going back to `[f32; 2]`. - `ImageGpu` no longer holds the `Texture` behind its view, which removes an `#[allow(dead_code)]`. A `TextureView` keeps its own reference to the texture, checked by rendering rather than assumed -- see below. ### Verification ``` cargo fmt --all --check cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --locked -- -D warnings cargo test --workspace --locked ``` All clean; the 4 text-edit tests pass. The only clippy output is the pre-existing future-incompatibility notice about `naga`/`wgpu`/`winit`. Because this is a rendering change, it was also run for real rather than only compiled. The `tabs` example was rendered on this machine's GPU -- Venus onto an RX 7900 XT, confirmed from the loaded ICD (`libvulkan_virtio.so` on `/dev/dri/renderD128`) rather than assumed, since a failed Vulkan init here silently falls back to llvmpipe and would make the screenshots meaningless. Screenshots before and after the change are **byte-identical** (same md5) in two scenes: the default tab, which exercises text (the atlas path) and rects, and the image tab with a standalone image pushed at startup, which exercises the per-image bind group. The image-tab scene needed a temporary local edit to the example to push the image without a click; that edit is not part of this branch. The same comparison, re-run after dropping the `Texture` field, is still byte-identical -- which is the check that the view alone keeps it alive. --------- Co-authored-by: iris <2+iris@noreply.localhost> Reviewed-on: iris/iris#11 Reviewed-by: iris <2+iris@noreply.localhost> Co-authored-by: AIris <4+iris-ai@noreply.localhost>
iris
My experimental attempt at a rust ui library (also my first ui library).
It's currently designed around using retained data structures (widgets), rather than diffing generated trees from data like xilem or iced. This is an experiment and I'm not sure if it's a good idea or not.
Examples are in examples, eg. cargo run --example tabs.
Goals, in general order:
- does what I want it to (text, images, video, animations)
- very easy to use ignoring ergonomic ref counting
- reasonably fast / efficient (a lot faster than electron, save battery life, try to beat iced and xilem)
dev details
not targeting web rn cause wanna use actual nice gpu features & entire point of this is to make desktop apps / not need a web browser
general ideas trynna use rn / experiment with:
- retained mode
- specifically designed around wgpu so there's no translation
- postfix functions for most things to prevent unreadable indentation (going very well)
- events can be done directly where you draw the widgets
- almost no macros in user code & actual LSP typechecking (variadic generics if you can hear me please save us)
- relative anchor + absolute offset coord system (+ "rest" / leftover during widget layout)
- single threaded ui & pass context around to make non async usage straightforward (pretty unsure about this)
- widgets store outside of the actual rendering so they can be moved around and swapped easily (unsure about this but seems to work good for now)
under heavy initial development so not gonna try to explain status, maybe check TODO for that; sizable chance it gets a rewrite once I know everything I need and what seems to work best
it's called iris because it's the structure around what you actually want to display and colorful
