<h2>Usage (1st option)</h2>
</a>
<ul>
<li>To start using cutting-edge 2D graphics, first you have get a renderer instance. This is possible by calling the <a href="globals.html#compile">compile function</a>.<ul>
<li>For this, some <a href="interfaces/drawabledescriptor.html">DrawableDescriptors</a> has to be provided.</li>
<li>Optionally, default compile settings can overridden using <a href="interfaces/startupsettings.html">StartupSettings</a>.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>After acquiring a renderer, the drawing of objects can be started through the <a href="interfaces/renderer.html">Renderer</a> interface.</li>
</ul>
<a href="#usage-2nd-option" id="usage-2nd-option" style="color: inherit; text-decoration: none;">
<h2>Usage (2nd option)</h2>
</a>
<p>If you&#39;re planning on creating animated content, use the <a href="globals.html#runanimation">runAnimation function</a> to spare yourself from writing boilerplate code.
Further documentation on its usage is available in its <a href="globals.html#runanimation">documentation</a>.</p>

<h2>Extending drawables</h2>

<ul>
<li>Subclass <a href="classes/drawable.html">Drawable</a></li>
<li>Implement its abstract methods</li>
<li>Add a static property to your class called <code>descriptor</code> of type <a href="interfaces/drawabledescriptor.html">DrawableDescriptors</a></li>
<li>Follow the instructions given in <a href="#usage">Usage</a></li>
</ul>

<h2>Useful to know</h2>
</a>
<a href="#math" id="math" style="color: inherit; text-decoration: none;">
<h3>Math</h3>
</a>
<p>The <code>vec2</code>, <code>vec3</code>, and <code>vec4</code> types seen in the documentation come from the <a href="http://glmatrix.net/">glMatrix</a> library and are equivalent to regular JS Arrays or Float32Arrays. So, feel free to give <code>[x, y]</code> as an input for functions requiring <code>vec2</code>.</p>
<a href="#coordinates" id="coordinates" style="color: inherit; text-decoration: none;">
<h3>Coordinates</h3>
</a>
<p>Anywhere, where positions need to be specified, the <code>y</code> values grow upwards. That means, when setting the view area, the origin is at the bottom left corner of the display.</p>
<a href="#tile-based-rendering" id="tile-based-rendering" style="color: inherit; text-decoration: none;">
<h3>Tile-based rendering</h3>
</a>
<p>For optimising the evaluation of the distance field, the display is divided up into a grid of tiles. The shaders for each tile are compiled to support a fix maximum number of objects on it. When using the built-in drawables it is possible that after a certain number of on-screen objects new ones won&#39;t be visible.</p>
<p>Mitigating this issue is quite easy. Instead of the following code:</p>
<pre><code class="language-js"><span class="hljs-built_in">this</span>.renderer = <span class="hljs-keyword">await</span> compile(canvas, [Circle.descriptor, CircleLight.descriptor]);</code></pre>
<p>Modify it to something similar:</p>
<pre><code class="language-js"><span class="hljs-built_in">this</span>.renderer = <span class="hljs-keyword">await</span> compile(canvas, [
{
...Circle.descriptor,
<span class="hljs-attr">shaderCombinationSteps</span>: [<span class="hljs-number">0</span>, <span class="hljs-number">1</span>, <span class="hljs-number">2</span>, <span class="hljs-number">24</span>, <span class="hljs-number">64</span>],
},
{
...CircleLight.descriptor,
<span class="hljs-attr">shaderCombinationSteps</span>: [<span class="hljs-number">0</span>, <span class="hljs-number">1</span>, <span class="hljs-number">2</span>, <span class="hljs-number">4</span>],
},
]);</code></pre>
<p>The usage of too large numbers is not advised for compatibility and performance reasons alike.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Steps are very useful for tile-based rendering, because it is possible for one tile (at a given moment) to be empty or contain just a few objects, while others have a large cluster of objects. The compiled shaders only take into account the necessary number of objects on each tile.</p>
