## Backend

Nucular uses build tags to select its backend:

```

go build -tags nucular_gio

```

Selects the [gio](https://gioui.org/) backend.

```

go build -tags nucular_shiny

```

Selects the [shiny](https://github.com/golang/exp/tree/master/shiny) backend.

```

go build -tags nucular_shiny,metal

```

Selects the shiny backend but uses metal to render on macOS.

By default shiny is used on all operating systems except macOS, where gio is used.
