📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The renderer now separates preparation from commit, stages texture uploads, reuses effect resources, retains scratch capacity, and reports structured errors. Rendering examples use the new API and request redraws when windows become unoccluded.

Changes

Renderer pipeline and lifecycle

Layer / File(s) Summary
Preparation and commit flow
src/renderer.rs, src/renderer/construction.rs, src/renderer/preparation.rs, src/renderer/rendering.rs, src/renderer/readback.rs, tests/visual_regression.rs
Rendering now uses prepare() and commit(). The renderer tracks prepared buffers, deadlines, submissions, callbacks, and submission duration.
Staged texture uploads and cache keys
src/texture_manager.rs, src/renderer/passes.rs, src/shape.rs, src/util.rs
Texture writes are staged and encoded during submission. Bind-group caches use layout identities instead of layout epochs.
Effect pooling and retained scratch storage
src/renderer/effects.rs, src/renderer/draw_queue.rs, src/effect.rs, src/renderer/types.rs, src/renderer/traversal.rs
Effect instances and buffers are reused. Pending preparation is discarded before mutations. Scratch capacity is no longer trimmed.
Surface configuration and zero-size handling
src/renderer/surface.rs
Surface changes discard preparation. Frame latency and pre-present callbacks are configurable. Zero-sized surfaces skip resource recreation.
Example and documentation migration
README.md, src/lib.rs, examples/*
Examples use prepare() and commit(None), handle wrapped surface errors, and request redraws after Occluded(false) events.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~90 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 798a6

The PR separates rendering preparation from submission and stages texture uploads, but the current examples and documentation still contain bounded integration and recovery issues that can cause compilation failures, duplicate rendering, stale frames, unnecessary texture uploads, or unexpected NotPrepared errors. The change is mergeable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up on these paths.

346-349: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Restore only uploads encoded by the discarded render.

encode_uploads clears pending after recording each copy, but the deadline path calls restore_pending_uploads, which requeues every retained texture upload, including textures committed in earlier frames. The retry therefore copies both the new upload and previously committed textures. Track uploads encoded by the discarded render and restore only those entries. Add a regression test for this sequence.

199-204: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Preserve preparation for effective no-op vsync requests.

set_vsync discards preparation before checking whether the requested mode already matches self.config.present_mode. If a frame is prepared and the caller invokes set_vsync(true) while AutoVsync is already active, the following commit() returns RenderError::NotPrepared. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Compute the target mode first. Return when it is unchanged. Discard preparation only before an actual configuration change.

Proposed ordering
 pub fn set_vsync(&mut self, vsync: bool) {
-    self.discard_preparation();
-    self.config.present_mode = if vsync {
+    let present_mode = if vsync {
         wgpu::PresentMode::AutoVsync
     } else {
         wgpu::PresentMode::AutoNoVsync
     };
+    if self.config.present_mode == present_mode {
+        return;
+    }
+    self.discard_preparation();
+    self.config.present_mode = present_mode;

winit 0.30.11 Window::request_redraw RedrawRequested documentation

💡 Result:

In winit 0.30.11, the Window::request_redraw method and the WindowEvent::RedrawRequested event form the standard mechanism for triggering and handling window rendering [1][2]. Window::request_redraw This method queues a WindowEvent::RedrawRequested event to be emitted by the event loop [1]. It is the recommended way to signal that a window needs to be redrawn, as it allows winit to integrate with OS-native rendering cycles (e.g., handling window resizes) and aggregate multiple redraw requests into a single event to optimize performance [1][3][2]. WindowEvent::RedrawRequested This event is emitted when the window should be redrawn [3][2]. It occurs in two primary scenarios [3][2]: 1. The OS has invalidated the window contents (e.g., during a resize). 2. The application has manually called Window::request_redraw [3][2]. Key Behavioral Notes: - Alignment: The event is designed to align with the windowing system's drawing loop (e.g., requestAnimationFrame on Web, or frame callbacks on Wayland) [1][4]. - Timing: There are no strict guarantees regarding exactly when the event will arrive relative to other events or specific loop iterations [1]. - Best Practices: Applications should generally attempt to render whenever they receive this event [1][2]. For non-continuous rendering applications, it is often preferable to handle rendering inside this event rather than in AboutToWait, as it enables the application to react gracefully to OS-requested redraws [5][6]. - Multi-Window Considerations: Winit aggregates duplicate requests for the same window to avoid redundant work [3][2]. In some complex environments or specific platform implementations, developers have noted performance nuances when calling request_redraw inside the RedrawRequested handler itself; in such cases, relying on AboutToWait or other state-dependent triggers may be an alternative [7]. Platforms: - Windows: Uses RedrawWindow to trigger WM_PAINT. - Web: Aligns with requestAnimationFrame. - Wayland: Aligns with frame callbacks, particularly when Window::pre_present_notify is utilized [1][4].

Schedule a retry after SurfaceError::Timeout.

This branch only clears the draw queue. It does not call window.request_redraw(), so the animation can stop until another event triggers RedrawRequested. Add a delayed retry with bounded backoff.

@antouhou, I verified commit 165ecd5b7a9ab4f294cc22301c52bab54f15f0d6.

The finding is still valid. In examples/transforms.rs Lines 620-622, the SurfaceError::Timeout branch only calls renderer.clear_draw_queue().

WindowEvent::Occluded(false) requests a redraw, but it does not cover a timeout while the window remains visible. The animation can still stop after that timeout until another event requests a redraw.


🧬 Code Graph Analysis Results

examples/star_wars_tilt.rs:64-286

window_event demonstrates 3D transform composition and inverse hit-testing. It constructs parent and child transforms with perspective, rotations, origins, and composition; converts mouse coordinates to local coordinates via project_screen_point_to_local_2d; then tests rectangular bounds before rendering with TransformInstance::from_cols(transform.rows_world()).

examples/winit.rs:46-296

window_event demonstrates rendering shapes with grafo::TransformInstance::translation(...) and nested parent/child shape relationships. It also handles resize events, preparation, commit, surface-loss recovery, and draw-queue cleanup.

src/renderer/rendering.rs:9-650

Renderer::render_to_texture_view prepares the render graph, initializes effect and depth/stencil resources, aggregates geometry and per-instance transform buffers, and encodes rendering commands. It uses the renderer’s configured physical size and scale factor while rendering.

src/renderer/surface.rs:54-56

pub fn scale_factor(&self) -> f64 {
    self.scale_factor
}

Exposes the renderer’s current window scale factor.

examples/visual_test_grid.rs:22-96

Initializes the renderer with a fixed physical size and scale_factor = 1.0, rebuilds the scene on every redraw, and handles resize, preparation, commit, surface errors, and draw-queue cleanup.
