SDF-2D library

A graphics library to enable the rendering of 2D signed distance fields (SDF-s) on web.

View it in action!

Further documentation will be provided by the end of September 2020.

Minimal example using Webpack

Certainly, other build tools can be used as well.

Instructions

A tutorial for installing Webpack is also included below, for more information about Webpack visit their getting started page.

Install Node.js
Create a directory called sdf-2d-example and open a terminal inside it

Run the following commands

npm init -y
npm install webpack webpack-cli sdf-2d --save-dev

Create a directory called src, and a new file inside of it named index.html

Copy the following code into sdf-2d-example/dist/index.html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <body>
    <canvas width="600" height="300"></canvas>
    <script src="main.js"></script>
  </body>
</html>

Create a directory called src, and a new file inside of it named index.js

Copy the following code into sdf-2d-example/src/index.js

import { compile, Circle, CircleLight } from 'sdf-2d';

const main = async () => {
  const canvas = document.querySelector('canvas');
  const renderer = await compile(canvas, [Circle.descriptor, CircleLight.descriptor]);

  renderer.addDrawable(new Circle([200, 200], 50));
  renderer.addDrawable(new CircleLight([500, 300], [1, 0.5, 0], 0.5));

  renderer.renderDrawables();
};

main();

Inside sdf-2d-example, execute the command npx webpack, this will generate a new file in your dist folder.
You're finished, open sdf-2d-example/dist/index.html

End result

The result of the above instructions can also be found in this repository and the finished website is available here.

More complex example

Instructions

We'll be using the files and directory structure created in the minimal example.

Paste the following HTML into the <head> of index.html

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" />
<style>
  html,
  body,
  canvas {
    margin: 0;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
  }
</style>

Install gl-matrix by running npm install gl-matrix --save-dev

Copy the following code into index.js

import { vec2, vec3 } from 'gl-matrix';
import { compile, Circle, CircleLight } from 'sdf-2d';

const main = async () => {
  const canvas = document.querySelector('canvas');

  const renderer = await compile(canvas, [Circle.descriptor, CircleLight.descriptor]);

  renderer.setRuntimeSettings({
    colorPalette: [
      vec3.create(),
      vec3.create(),
      vec3.fromValues(0.5, 0.2, 1), // By default, Circle has a colorIndex of 2
    ],
  });

  let aspectRatio;
  const setViewArea = () => {
    const canvasSize = renderer.canvasSize;
    aspectRatio = canvasSize.x / canvasSize.y;

    // The view area is given in a coordinate system
    // originated from the bottom (!) left edge of the canvas
    renderer.setViewArea(vec2.fromValues(0, 1), vec2.fromValues(aspectRatio, 1));
  };

  setViewArea();
  onresize = setViewArea;

  const circle = new Circle(vec2.fromValues(0.5, 0.5), 0.1);
  const light = new CircleLight(vec2.create(), vec3.fromValues(1, 0.5, 0.1), 0.0005);

  const animate = (currentTime) => {
    vec2.set(circle.center, aspectRatio / 2, 0.5);
    vec2.set(light.center, ((Math.sin(currentTime / 1000) + 1) / 2) * aspectRatio, 1);

    renderer.addDrawable(circle);
    renderer.addDrawable(light);
    renderer.renderDrawables();

    console.log(renderer.insights);

    requestAnimationFrame(animate);
  };

  requestAnimationFrame(animate);
};

main();

Run npx webpack
You're finished, open index.html

End result
