quad_renderer.rs

//! Fast instanced quad renderer with GPU-based coordinate transformation.
//!
//! Renders thousands of quads (rectangles) efficiently using GPU instancing.
//! Quads are stored in data coordinates, and the GPU transforms
//! them to screen coordinates using a transformation matrix.
//!
//! This is primarily used for bar charts but can be used for any axis-aligned
//! rectangle rendering where data-to-screen transformation is needed.
