2D Rendering / Text 2D

Back to examples View in GitHub

Support Warning

WebGPU is currently only supported on Chrome starting with version 113, and only on desktop. If they don't work on your configuration, you can check the WebGL2 examples here.

text2d.rs:
//! Shows text rendering with moving, rotating and scaling text.
//!
//! Note that this uses [`Text2dBundle`] to display text alongside your other entities in a 2D scene.
//!
//! For an example on how to render text as part of a user interface, independent from the world
//! viewport, you may want to look at `games/contributors.rs` or `ui/text.rs`.
