Vector Graphics on GPU
I did vector graphics using SDFs in this library (https://github.com/audulus/vger). Works pretty well for my uses which are rendering dynamic UIs, not rendering SVGs. But I can still do some pretty gnarly path fills!

canvas_ity - A tiny, single-header <canvas>-like 2D rasterizer
Nice work. Any plan to add GPU (opengl) support? CPU rendering is OK but the performance using the GPU is likely order of magnitudes better. Here is a library that uses the same antialiasing technique https://github.com/styluslabs/nanovgXC using OpenGL (based on NanoVG).

Vector Graphics on GPU
GPU vector graphics library I released a few years ago: https://github.com/styluslabs/nanovgXC - basically a new backend for nanovg that supports arbitrary paths. Coverage calculation (for analytic antialiasing) is explained a bit here: https://github.com/styluslabs/nanovgXC/blob/master/src/nanov...

Advice for the next dozen Rust GUIs
Getting sufficient antialiasing quality for 2D graphics is difficult on GPUs. https://github.com/memononen/nanovg accomplishes this with GL2/GLES2 level hardware for most of the stuff one would want to render as part of a GUI. My project https://github.com/styluslabs/nanovgXC supports rendering arbitrary paths with exact coverage antialiasing, but requires GLES3.1 or GL4 level hardware for reasonable performance.
