//! Vello CPU is a 2D graphics rendering engine written in Rust for devices with no
//! or underpowered GPUs.
//!
//! We also develop:
//!
//! 1. [Vello GPU](https://crates.io/crates/vello_gpu), which shares Vello CPU's
//!    architecture but moves rasterization and compositing to the GPU.
//! 2. [Vello Research], an experimental, high-performance, compute-centric GPU
//!    renderer.
//!
//! ## Usage
//!
//! To use Vello CPU, you need to:
//!
//! - Create a [`RenderContext`][], a 2D drawing context for a fixed-size scene
//!   area.
//! - For each object in your scene:
//!   - Set how the object will be painted, using
//!     [`set_paint`][RenderContext::set_paint].
//!   - Set the shape to be drawn for that object, using methods like
//!     [`fill_path`][RenderContext::fill_path],
//!     [`stroke_path`][RenderContext::stroke_path], or
//!     [`glyph_run`][RenderContext::glyph_run].
//! - Render it to an image using [`RenderContext::render`][].
//!
//! ```rust
//! use vello_cpu::{RenderContext, Resources, Pixmap};
//! use vello_cpu::{color::{palette::css, PremulRgba8}, kurbo::Rect};
//! let width = 10;
//! let height = 5;
//! let mut context = RenderContext::new(width, height);
//! let mut resources = Resources::new();
//! context.set_paint(css::MAGENTA);
//! context.fill_rect(&Rect::from_points((3., 1.), (7., 4.)));
//!
//! let mut target = Pixmap::new(width, height);
//! // While calling `flush` is only strictly necessary if you are rendering using
//! // multiple threads, it is recommended to always do this.
//! context.flush();
//! context.render(&mut target, &mut resources);
//!
//! let expected_render = b"\
//!     0000000000\
//!     0001111000\
//!     0001111000\
//!     0001111000\
//!     0000000000";
//! let magenta = css::MAGENTA.premultiply().to_rgba8();
//! let transparent = PremulRgba8 {r: 0, g: 0, b: 0, a: 0};
//! let mut result = Vec::new();
//! for pixel in target.data() {
//!     if *pixel == magenta {
//!         result.push(b'1');
//!     } else if *pixel == transparent {
//!         result.push(b'0');
//!     } else {
//!          panic!("Got unexpected pixel value {pixel:?}");
//!     }
//! }
//! assert_eq!(&result, expected_render);
//! ```
//!
//! See the
//! [examples](https://github.com/linebender/vello/tree/main/vello_cpu/examples) for
//! more complete demonstrations of Vello CPU's API.
//!
//! ## Features
//!
//! - `std` (enabled by default): Get floating point functions from the standard
//!   library (likely using your target's libc).
//! - `libm`: Use floating point implementations from [libm][].
//! - `png`(enabled by default): Allow loading [`Pixmap`]s from PNG images. Also
//!   required for rendering glyphs with an embedded PNG. Implies `std`.
//! - `multithreading`: Enable multi-threaded rendering. Implies `std`.
//! - `text` (enabled by default): Enables glyph rendering
//!   ([`glyph_run`][RenderContext::glyph_run]).
//! - `u8_pipeline` (enabled by default): Enable the u8 pipeline, for speed focused
//!   rendering using u8 math. The `u8` pipeline will be used for
//!   [`OptimizeSpeed`][RenderMode::OptimizeSpeed], if both pipelines are enabled.
//!   If you're using Vello CPU for application rendering, you should prefer this
//!   pipeline.
//! - `f32_pipeline`: Enable the `f32` pipeline, which is slower but has more
//!   accurate results. This is espectially useful for rendering test snapshots. The
//!   `f32` pipeline will be used for
//!   [`OptimizeQuality`][RenderMode::OptimizeQuality], if both pipelines are
//!   enabled.
//!
//! At least one of `std` and `libm` is required; `std` overrides `libm`. At least
//! one of `u8_pipeline` and `f32_pipeline` must be enabled. You might choose to
//! disable one of these pipelines if your application won't use it, so as to reduce
//! binary size.
//!
//! ## Current state
//!
//! Vello CPU is a solid CPU-only 2D renderer with broad, reliable feature support.
//! It provides excellent performance across a wide range of workloads, with
//! optimized SIMD implementations for all major architectures. The renderer is
//! still under active development, however, and a few limitations remain:
//!
//! - Complex filter graphs are currently not supported at all and will panic. In
//!   multi-threaded mode, even simple filters are currently unsupported.
//! - Parts of the API and its documentation are still suboptimal, for example the
//!   [`Resources`][] lifecycle.
//! - Some exposed features remain experimental and are not recommended for use,
//!   including glyph caching. Experimental APIs are identified in their method
//!   documentation.
//! - There is still more room for performance improvements, in particular on x86
//!   systems and also for multi-threaded rendering.
//!
//! With that said, we are continuously improving Vello CPU and will address these
//! and other limitations in future releases.
//!
//! ## Performance
//!
//! Performance benchmarks can be found
//! [here](https://laurenzv.github.io/vello_chart/), As can be seen, Vello CPU
//! achieves compelling performance on both, aarch64 and x86 platforms. We also have
//! SIMD optimizations for WASM SIMD, meaning that you can expect good performance
//! there as well.
//!
//! ## Implementation
//!
//! If you want to gain a better understanding of Vello CPU and the sparse strips
//! paradigm, you can take a look at the
//! [accompanying master's thesis](https://ethz.ch/content/dam/ethz/special-interest/infk/inst-pls/plf-dam/documents/StudentProjects/MasterTheses/2025-Laurenz-Thesis.pdf)
//! that was written on the topic. Note that parts of the descriptions might become
//! outdated as the implementation changes, but it should give a good overview
//! nevertheless.
