software rendering graphics api #670

Closed lublak closed 2 years ago

lublak commented 2 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

There are certain devices that do not support gpu rendering. It would be interesting to offer a fallback to software rendering (g2).

Describe the solution you'd like

Another backend based on gdi+ (win), quartz 2d (mac) and cairo (linux).

Describe alternatives you've considered

I don't know of any alternative at the moment.

Additional context

The idea came from using haxeui kha for desktop development. Only the g2 interface is used. Shader support can be problematic in the implementation.

g1 is the API for software-rendering. There's also an implementation of g2 on top of that (graphics_soft.c ). There's currently only an implementation on top of g4 but feel free to send pull-requests to run it on something else (I don't plan to work on that myself though).
