# Motivation

For now the goal is to provide efficient SVG-compliant path tessellation tools to help with rendering vector graphics on the GPU. For now think of this library as a way to turn complex paths into triangles for use in your own rendering engine.

The intent is for this library to be useful in projects like [Servo](https://servo.org/) and games.

## Example

```rust
    // Build a Path.
    let mut builder = SvgPathBuilder::new(Path::builder());
    builder.move_to(point(0.0, 0.0));
    builder.line_to(point(1.0, 0.0));
    builder.quadratic_bezier_to(point(2.0, 0.0), point(2.0, 1.0));
    builder.cubic_bezier_to(point(1.0, 1.0), point(0.0, 1.0), point(0.0, 0.0));
    builder.close();
    let path = builder.build();

    // Will contain the result of the tessellation.
    let mut geometry_cpu: VertexBuffers<Vec2> = VertexBuffers::new();

    let mut tessellator = FillTessellator::new();

    {
        // The simple builder uses the tessellator's vertex type.
        // You can implement the GeometryBuilder trait to create custom vertices.
        let mut vertex_builder = simple_builder(&mut geometry_cpu);

        // Compute the tessellation.
        tessellator.tessellate_path(
            path.path_iter().flattened(0.1),
            &FillOptions::default(),
            &mut vertex_builder
        ).unwrap();
    }

    // The tessellated geometry is ready to be uploaded to the GPU.
    println!(" -- {} vertices {} indices",
        geometry_cpu.vertices.len(),
        geometry_cpu.indices.len()
    );
```

## Structure

The project is split into small crates:

* [![doc](https://docs.rs/lyon_tessellation/badge.svg)](https://docs.rs/lyon_tessellation) - [lyon_tessellation](https://crates.io/crates/lyon_tessellation) -  Path tessellation routines.
* [![doc](https://docs.rs/lyon_path_builder/badge.svg)](https://docs.rs/lyon_path_builder) - [lyon_path_builder](https://crates.io/crates/lyon_path_builder) -  Tools to facilitate building paths.
* [![doc](https://docs.rs/lyon_path_iterator/badge.svg)](https://docs.rs/lyon_path_iterator) - [lyon_path_iterator](https://crates.io/crates/lyon_path_iterator) -  Tools to facilitate iteratring over paths.
* [![doc](https://docs.rs/lyon_path/badge.svg)](https://docs.rs/lyon_path) - [lyon_path](https://crates.io/crates/lyon_path) -  A simple optional path data structure, provided for convenience.
* [![doc](https://docs.rs/lyon_bezier/badge.svg)](https://docs.rs/lyon_bezier) - [lyon_bezier](https://crates.io/crates/lyon_bezier) -  Cubic and Quadratic 2d bezier math.
* [![doc](https://docs.rs/lyon_extra/badge.svg)](https://docs.rs/lyon_extra) - [lyon_extra](https://crates.io/crates/lyon_extra) -  Additional testing and debugging tools.
* [![doc](https://docs.rs/lyon_core/badge.svg)](https://docs.rs/lyon_path_core) - [lyon_core](https://crates.io/crates/lyon_core) -  Common types to most lyon crates.

There is also a toy [command-line tool](cli) to tessellate SVG path from your favorite terminal.

Have a look at the [gfx-rs example](examples/gfx_logo) to see how integrating the tessellators in a renderer can look like.
