✏️Layer

A layer is a type that is used to store render commands, as well as vertex and index data. This is the only way to push shapes and control rendering state.

g

Type: command

The next render command to be pushed to the queue. This is the object you want to change to, for example, set a texture, or change rendering modes.

---

font

Type: font_base

Font to use with add_text. If nothing has been set, no text will get rendered.

---

tex_sz

Type: vec2?

Texture dimensions. This value is only required if you are trying to render rounded shapes with a texture, so the rendering system will correctly map your UV coordinates to whatever shape you are rendering.

---

skip_dpi

Type: bool

If set to true, will skip global DPI scale. Defaults to true.
