Vector graphics rendering on the GPU in Rust with Lyon
summary
Lyon is a Rust crate that tessellates SVG-style vector shapes into a triangle mesh sent to the GPU for rasterization. It implements a single-pass monotone tessellator that benchmarks twice faster on average than common multi-pass approaches, currently flattens curves to line segments but aims for true quadratic Bézier tessellation, works on reducing thin-triangle cases to improve GPU throughput, and already has 19 contributors.
