pygfx 0.8.0

v0.8.0

on Python PyPI

Summary

It's been a while, so quite a lot of changes! The gltf support has been improved a lot, the transform system has been optimized for performance, gamma prop for image and volume materials, improved text rendering (inc. multi-text), faster clipping planes, and much more!

API changes

• Added ImageBasicMaterial.gamma and VolumeBasicMaterial.gamma.
• Added PointsMarkerMaterial.edge_color_mode.
• Added MeshPhysicalMaterial.iridescence, .iridescence_ior, and .iridescence_thickness_range.
• Added MultiTextGeometry and TextBlock for efficiently handling multiple texts (e.g. labels).
• Added TextGeometry.max_width, .paragraph_spacing, added Markdown support for headers and bullets, and support for vertical text.
