Structure

For the simplest examples without using any helping code (see framework.rs here), check out:

• hello for printing adapter information
• hello-triangle for graphics and presentation
• hello-compute for pure computing

Notably, capture example shows rendering without a surface/window. It reads back the contents and saves them to a file.

All framework-based examples render to the window.

Hacking

You can record an API trace any of the framework-based examples by starting them as:

mkdir -p trace && WGPU_TRACE=trace cargo run --features trace --example <example-name>
