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

[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
ThorVG has offered an option to clear the buffer since version 1.0.
This is essential when users utilize the canvas target buffer
with the main render target. They share the buffer
and need to draw contents onto the existing contents.
API:
Result Canvas::clear(bool free = true)
-> Result Canvas::clear(bool paints = true, bool buffer = true)
Tvg_Result tvg_canvas_clear(Tvg_Canvas* canvas, bool free);
-> Tvg_Result tvg_canvas_clear(Tvg_Canvas* canvas, bool paints, bool buffer);

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
