pygfx.renderers.wgpu

General functions and classes to operate more closely with the wgpu backend.

print_wgpu_report()	Print a report on the internal status of WGPU.
select_power_preference(power_preference)	Select whether a powerful or battery-friendly GPU is selected.
select_adapter(adapter)	Select a specific adapter / GPU.
enable_wgpu_features(*features)	Enable specific features (as strings) on the wgpu device.
WgpuRenderer(target, *args[, pixel_ratio, ...])	Turns Scenes into rasterized images using wgpu.
register_wgpu_render_function(wobject_cls, ...)	Decorator for WGPU rendering functions.
get_shared()	Get the globally shared instance.
Shared(*[, canvas])	An object to store global data to share between multiple wgpu renderers.

Classes and functions required to implement custom shaders:

ShaderInterface()	Define what a shader object must look like from the pov from the pipeline.
BaseShader(wobject, **kwargs)	Base shader object to compose and template shaders using jinja2.
Binding(name, type, resource[, visibility, ...])	Simple object to hold together some information about a binding, for internal use.
GfxSampler([filter, address_mode])	Simple wrapper for a GPUSampler.
GfxTextureView(texture, *[, view_dim, ...])	Simple wrapper for a GPUTextureView.
register_wgsl_loader(context, func)	Register a source for shader snippets.
load_wgsl(shader_name)	Load wgsl code from pygfx builtin shader snippets.

Lower level functions that may or may not be needed in custom shaders:

nchannels_from_format(format)	Return the number of channels from a vertex-buffer format.
to_index_format(format)	Convert any pygfx-allowed buffer format to the wgpu.IndexFormat.
to_vertex_format(format)	Convert any pygfx-allowed buffer format to the wgpu.VertexFormat.
to_texture_format(format)	Convert any pygfx-allowed texture format to the wgpu.TextureFormat.
