How to render text with rust?

• learn-wgpu

  75 1,378 8.0 Rust

  Guide for using gfx-rs's wgpu library.

  For the first part, there's too much surface area to cover but it sounds like one good starting point would be to learn a bit more about how low(ish) level graphics programming works in the context of rust. I think learning-wgpu will get you to the "I have a window and I can draw things to it, and I actually understand how my data turns into pixels" stage, which is super cool and performant if you've never dived lower than ui frameworks before.

  Glium and ash provide low level access to different common graphics api's. I'm sure there's a good directx-11/12 bindings as well but I'm unfamiliar with what people use.

It and other UI libraries get very abstracted very quickly though. https://github.com/emilk/egui
