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.//! This example illustrates how to create UI text and update it in a system.
//!
//! It displays the current FPS in the top left corner, as well as text that changes color
//! in the bottom right. For text within a scene, please see the text2d example.
