gfx-rs is a graphics abstraction library in Rust. It consists of the following layers/components:
gfx-hal: hardware abstraction layer - a Vulkan-ic mostly unsafe API translating to native graphics backends.gfx-backend-*: graphics backends for various platforms, include the windowing logic.gfx-warden: data-driven reference test framework.
If you are looking for information about the released crates (gfx_core, gfx, gfx_device_*, gfx_window_, etc), they are being developed and published from the pre-ll branch. Code in master is a complete rewrite that will be shipped in different crates.
Native API backends:
You can run the examples this way:
git clone https://github.com/gfx-rs/gfx
cd gfx/examples/hal
cargo run --bin quad --features vulkan
cargo run --bin compute --features dx12 1 2 3 4The native API backend is selected by one of the features: vulkan, dx12, metal, or gl.
