====== 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. 

In reality it is a fairly inneficient accumulator of `enum VertexType`s. This enum is the only real way I found to preserve type safety when passing dynamic amounts of differently typed data

This enum consists of (currently) :
	* TextureType(Vec<TextureVertex2D>, Arc<CanvasTextureHandle>),
	* ImageType(Vec<ImageVertex2D>, Arc<CanvasImageHandle>)
	* ColorType(Vec<ColorVertex2D>)
	* ThreeDType(Vec<Vertex3D>)

Cool enough, we can enforce the handle type as well using this

===== Future =====

I like this immediate interface for this simple style of UI and drawing. Unless I need some other sort of data or data which has links to other data, I don't see any interface being much better.
