Remove the requirement for unique_ptr in the function prototypes.
This change will simplify the API usage, making it more streamlined
and user-friendly. However, memory management will now be the
responsibility of the user.
C++ API Modification:
- Result Paint::mask(std::unique_ptr<Paint> target, MaskMethod method) -> Result Paint::mask(Paint* target, MaskMethod method)
- Result Paint::clip(std::unique_ptr<Paint> clipper) -> Result Paint::clip(Paint* clipper)
- virtual Result Canvas::push(std::unique_ptr<Paint> paint) -> virtual Result Canvas::push(Paint* paint)
- std::unique_ptr<LinearGradient> LinearGradient::gen() -> LinearGradient* LinearGradient::gen()
- std::unique_ptr<RadialGradient> RadialGradient::gen() -> RadialGradient* RadialGradient::gen()
- Result Shape::strokeFill(std::unique_ptr<Fill> f) -> Result Shape::strokeFill(Fill* f)
- Result Shape::fill(std::unique_ptr<Fill> f) -> Result Shape::fill(Fill* f)
- std::unique_ptr<Shape> Shape::gen() -> Shape* Shape::gen()
- std::unique_ptr<Picture> Picture::gen() -> Result Picture::push(Paint* paint)
- std::unique_ptr<Scene> Scene::gen() -> Scene* Scene::gen()
- Result Text::fill(std::unique_ptr<Fill> f) -> Result Text::fill(Fill* f)
- std::unique_ptr<Text> Text::gen() -> Text* Text::gen()
- std::unique_ptr<SwCanvas> SwCanvas::gen() -> SwCanvas* SwCanvas::gen()
- std::unique_ptr<GlCanvas> GlCanvas::gen() -> GlCanvas* GlCanvas::gen()
- std::unique_ptr<Animation> Animation::gen() -> Animation* Animation::gen()
- Result Saver::background(std::unique_ptr<Paint> paint) -> Result Saver::background(Paint* paint)
- Result Saver::save(std::unique_ptr<Paint> paint, const char* filename, uint32_t quality = 100) -> Result Saver::save(Paint* paint, const char* filename, uint32_t quality = 100)
- std::unique_ptr<Saver> Saver::gen() -> Saver* Saver::gen()
- std::unique_ptr<Accessor> Accessor::gen() -> Accessor* Accessor::gen()
C++ API removal:
- template<typename T = tvg::Paint> std::unique_ptr<T> cast(Paint* paint)
- template<typename T = tvg::Paint> std::unique_ptr<T> cast(Paint* paint)

move instance, adapter and device creation from renderer to application
its necessary for web integration, because browser have its own mechanics to create hardware handles
this changes makes webgpu canvas more universal to use in case of system and web applications
issue: https://github.com/thorvg/thorvg/issues/2410
This introduces a managed condition to precisely control the
canvas updates. This prevents a crash when the target is
changed and drawn without any update calls.

it provide changes public API for webgpu canvas interface to provide nessessary handles to native window for different platforms:
API Change:
- Result target(void *instance, void *surface, uint32_t w, uint32_t h) noexcept;
The viewport function defines the rectangular area of the canvas
that will be used for drawing operations.
It is used to clip the rendering output to the boundaries of the rectangle.
Apps can use this function to set the drawing region within the canvas.
When the ThorVG canvas is partially inside the screen area such as during scrolling
it could help enhance rendering performance.
New Experimental API:
- Result Canvas::viewport(int32_t x, int32_t y, int32_t w, int32_t h) noexcept;
Issue: https://github.com/thorvg/thorvg/issues/2274
WebGPU is a Render Hardware Interface built on top of the various APIs
provided by the driver/OS depending on your platform.
WebGPU exposes an API for performing operations,
such as rendering and computation, on a Graphics Processing Unit.
WebGPU official documentation: https://www.w3.org/TR/webgpu/
The new engine type introduced: tvg::CanvasEngine::Wg
The new canvas type introduced: tvg::WgCanvas
Example:
$meson setup build -Dengines=wg_beta
`
// init engine webgpu
tvg::Initializer::init(tvg::CanvasEngine::Wg, 0);
// create wg canvas
auto canvasWg = tvg::WgCanvas::gen();
canvas_wg->target(glfwGetWin32Window(window), width, height);
// ...
// terminate engine and window
tvg::Initializer::term(tvg::CanvasEngine::Wg);
`
Still this feature is under the beta
