  Fast, simple 2D text rendering for wgpu








  

  

  

  



## What is this?

This crate provides a simple way to render 2D text with [`wgpu`](https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu/) by:

- shaping/calculating layout/rasterizing glyphs (with [`cosmic-text`](https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-text/))

- packing the glyphs into texture atlas (with [`etagere`](https://github.com/nical/etagere/))

- sampling from the texture atlas to render text (with [`wgpu`](https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu/))

To avoid extra render passes, rendering uses existing render passes (following the middleware pattern described in [`wgpu`'s Encapsulating Graphics Work wiki page](https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu/wiki/Encapsulating-Graphics-Work).
