Examples

0. Compute Pipeline

Multiplies two matrices together and prints the result.

1. Render Pipeline

Renders a triagle and displays it in a window.

2. Render directly to window

As above, but renders directly to a window surface.

3. Creating a texture from an image

On the browser textures can be created very easily using createImageBitmap() and device.queue.copyExternalImageToTexture(). In the dawn Node.js bindings the device.queue.copyExternalImageToTexture() function is unimplemented since there are no standardized image objects. This forces us to use device.queue.writeTexture() to create a texture from data that we have previously decoded. This example presents one of many possible ways to get a buffer of pixels from a file on disk. Here we are using the pngjs package to decode a .png file and show it on the screen.
