deprecate the `identifier()` APIs by replacing them with `type()`.
ThorVG is going to introduce an instance `id()`,
and this could be confused with the `identifier()` methods.
with this new type() method can reduce the memory size
by removing unncessary type data.
New Experimental C APIs:
- enum Tvg_Type
- Tvg_Result tvg_paint_get_type(const Tvg_Paint* paint, Tvg_Type* type)
- Tvg_Result tvg_gradient_get_type(const Tvg_Gradient* grad, Tvg_Type* type)
New Experimental C++ APIs:
- Type Paint::type() const
- Type Fill::type() const
- Type LinearGradient::type() const
- Type RadialGradient::type() const
- Type Shape::type() const
- Type Scene::type() const
- Type Picture::type() const
- Type Text::type() const
Deprecated C APIs:
- enum Tvg_Identifier
- Tvg_Result tvg_paint_get_identifier(const Tvg_Paint* paint, Tvg_Identifier* identifier)
- Tvg_Result tvg_gradient_get_identifier(const Tvg_Gradient* grad, Tvg_Identifier* identifier)
Deprecated C++ APIs:
- enum class Type
- uint32_t Paint::identifier() const
- uint32_t Fill::identifier() const
- static uint32_t Picture::identifier()
- static uint32_t Scene::identifier()
- static uint32_t Shape::identifier()
- static uint32_t LinearGradient:identifier()
- static uint32_T RadialGradient::identfier()
Removed Experimental APIs:
- static uint32_t Text::identifier()

Skip shapes rendering, if opacity is 0 and if fill color for shape and strokes also equal to 0
This behavior is used in sw renderer and fix visual artifacts in referenced animations.
Also this rule fix composition results in case of AlphaMask and InvAlphaMask methods
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;
In a case of usage stencil buffer only we need to turn off an color target writes. In other case color buffer fill be filled by unxepcted color if fragment shader did not return any value.
It happens in a case on OpenGL realization of webgpu, that used in linux
Befire:
After:
[issues 1479: Masking, InvMasking, LumaMasking, InvLumaMasking](#1479)
Computes composition and blending using simgle pass istead of two full screen passes
[issues 1479: lottie](#1479)
- optimaze stroking algorithm by prevent vector normalizations
- using render meshes heaps to reduce webgpu instances re-creations
- using single instance of pilylines for standard operations such as trim and split
- "on-the-fly" strokes generations with dash pattern
- "on-the-fly" mesh objects generation in a process of path decoding
- merge strokes into single mesh by each shape
[issues 1479: lottie](#1479)
Vertex, Index and uniform buffers now updates instead of recreate.
Implemented pools form mesh objects and render shapes data
it increase performance in 30-40% in massive animations scenes
[issues 1479: lottie](#1479)
To optimize bled operations hardware pipeline blend stage are used for some blend methods:
BlendMethod::SrcOver
BlendMethod::Normal
BlendMethod::Add
BlendMethod::Multiply
BlendMethod::Darken
BlendMethod::Lighten
Other types compute shaders used
[issues 1479: antialiasing](#1479)
Anti-aliasing implementation
Implements antialiasing as a post process on cimpute shaders and original render target with scale of 2x.
Can be modified as an external settings
Before the current changes, all surfaces were painted using a full-screen overlay, no matter how large the object was rendered. This approach is redundant and required reorganization. At the moment, all objects are rendered using an overlay equal to the box of the object itself, which reduces the cost of filling the surface.
Also surfaces and images were divided into different entities, which reduces the pressure on memory.
Also geometry data for rendering and geometry data for calculations in system memory were logically separated.
For further development of features, we need to create off-screen buffers that will allow us to implement functionality related to composition and blending, as well as for loading data to system memory from the framebuffer. Separating the framebuffer into a separate entity allows you to create several instances of them, switch between them, and blend them according to given rules.
For current time we have only a single render target instance, that have a handle to drawing into surface surface, like a native window.
New approach allows:
- offscreen rendering
- render pass handling
- switching between render targets
- ability to render images, strokes and shapes into independent render targets
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
