====== CanvasFrame ======

[[/doc/sfml_rust/canvas/canvas_frame/struct.CanvasFrame.html|Documentation]]

===== Details =====

Canvas frame is at it's core, an accumulator of meta data to draw to the screen. 

At the moment it is split up into these groups:

* Colored items like non-textured sprites are just a list of triangles, simple vertices.
@todo
* Textured are grouped by their texture handle. Currently implemented as a list of lists of vertices. I don't think the vertices need to be grouped by sprite as long as they are triangle lists with texture coords included in the definition
* Images are just the same as Textured
* Text is a simple Font->Glyph lookup. XY coords of the font and the ASCII code

{{{code: lang="rust" linenumbers="True"
colored_drawables: Vec<RuntimeVertexDef>
textured_drawables: HashMap<Arc<CanvasTextureHandle>, Vec<Vec<RuntimeVertexDef>>>
image_drawables: HashMap<Arc<CanvasImageHandle>, Vec<Vec<RuntimeVertexDef>>>
text_drawables: HashMap<Arc<CanvasFontHandle>, Vec<GlyphInstance>>
}}}


===== Future =====

I like this immediate interface for this simple style of UI and drawing.

@todo finish this
