# Objective
allow specifying the left/top/right/bottom border colors separately for
ui elements
fixes#14773
## Solution
- change `BorderColor` to
```rs
pub struct BorderColor {
pub left: Color,
pub top: Color,
pub right: Color,
pub bottom: Color,
}
```
- generate one ui node per distinct border color, set flags for the
active borders
- render only the active borders
i chose to do this rather than adding multiple colors to the
ExtractedUiNode in order to minimize the impact for the common case
where all border colors are the same.
## Testing
modified the `borders` example to use separate colors:

the behaviour is a bit weird but it mirrors html/css border behaviour.
---
## Migration:
To keep the existing behaviour, just change `BorderColor(color)` into
`BorderColor::all(color)`.

# Objective
Allowing drawing of UI nodes with a gradient instead of a flat color.
## Solution
The are three gradient structs corresponding to the three types of
gradients supported: `LinearGradient`, `ConicGradient` and
`RadialGradient`. These are then wrapped in a `Gradient` enum
discriminator which has `Linear`, `Conic` and `Radial` variants.
Each gradient type consists of the geometric properties for that
gradient and a list of color stops.
Color stops consist of a color, a position or angle and an optional
hint. If no position is specified for a stop, it's evenly spaced between
the previous and following stops. Color stop positions are absolute, if
you specify a list of stops:
```vec


Conic gradients can be used to draw simple pie charts like in CSS:

# Objective
Fixes#17561
## Solution
The anti-aliasing function used by the UI fragment shader is this:
```wgsl
fn antialias(distance: f32) -> f32 {
return saturate(0.5 - distance); // saturate clamps between 0 and 1
}
```
The returned value is multiplied with the alpha channel value to get the
anti-aliasing effect.
The `distance` is a signed distance value. A positive `distance` means
we are outside the shape we're drawing and a negative `distance` means
we are on the inside.
So with `distance` at `0` (on the edge of the shape):
```
antialias(0) = saturate(0.5 - 0) = saturate(0.5) = 0.5
```
but we want it to be `1` at this point, so the entire interior of the
shape is given a solid colour, and then decrease as the signed distance
increases.
So in this PR we change it to:
```wgsl
fn antialias(distance: f32) -> f32 {
return saturate(1. - distance);
}
```
Then:
```
antialias(-0.5) = saturate(1 - (-1)) = saturate(2) = 1
antialias(1) = saturate(1 - 0) = 1
antialias(0.5) = saturate(1 - 0.5) = 0.5
antialias(1) = saturate(1 - 1) = 0
```
as desired.
## Testing
```cargo run --example button```
On main:
<img width="400" alt="bleg" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/314994cb-4529-479d-b179-18e5c25f75bc" />
With this PR:
<img width="400" alt="bbwhite" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/072f481d-8b67-4fae-9a5f-765090d1713f" />
Modified the `button` example to draw a white background to make the bleeding more obvious.
# Objective
Fixes#14970
## Solution
It seems the clamp call in `ui.wgsl` had the parameters order incorrect.
## Testing
Tested using examples/ui in native and my current project in wasm - both
in linux.
Could use some help with testing in other platforms.
---
# Objective
We switch back and forwards between logical and physical coordinates all
over the place. Systems have to query for cameras and the UiScale when
they shouldn't need to. It's confusing and fragile and new scale factor
bugs get found constantly.
## Solution
* Use physical coordinates whereever possible in `bevy_ui`.
* Store physical coords in `ComputedNode` and tear out all the unneeded
scale factor calculations and queries.
* Add an `inverse_scale_factor` field to `ComputedNode` and set nodes
changed when their scale factor changes.
## Migration Guide
`ComputedNode`'s fields and methods now use physical coordinates.
`ComputedNode` has a new field `inverse_scale_factor`. Multiplying the
physical coordinates by the `inverse_scale_factor` will give the logical
values.

# Objective
UI Anti-aliasing is incorrectly implemented. It always uses an edge
radius of 0.25 logical pixels, and ignores the physical resolution. For
low dpi screens 0.25 is is too low and on higher dpi screens the
physical edge radius is much too large, resulting in visual artifacts.
## Solution
Multiply the distance by the scale factor in the `antialias` function so
that the edge radius stays constant in physical pixels.
## Testing
To see the problem really clearly run the button example with `UiScale`
set really high. With `UiScale(25.)` on main if you examine the button's
border you can see a thick gradient fading away from the edges:
<img width="127" alt="edgg"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/7c852030-c0e8-4aef-8d3e-768cb2464cab">
With this PR the edges are sharp and smooth at all scale factors:

# Objective
fixes#15502
Clipped borders and outlines aren't drawn correctly.
### Borders aren't clipped
Spawn two nodes with the same dimensions and border thickness, but clip
on of the nodes so that only its top left quarter is visible:
<img width="194" alt="clip"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/2d3f6d28-aa20-44df-967a-677725828294">
You can see that instead of clipping the border, instead the border is
scaled to fit inside of the unclipped section.
```rust
use bevy::color::palettes::css::BLUE;
use bevy::prelude::*;
use bevy::winit::WinitSettings;
fn main() {
App::new()
.add_plugins(DefaultPlugins)
.insert_resource(WinitSettings::desktop_app())
.add_systems(Startup, setup)
.run();
}
fn setup(mut commands: Commands) {
commands.spawn(Camera2d);
commands
.spawn(Node {
width: Val::Percent(100.),
height: Val::Percent(100.),
justify_content: JustifyContent::Center,
align_items: AlignItems::Center,
..Default::default()
})
.with_children(|commands| {
commands
.spawn(Node {
column_gap: Val::Px(10.),
..Default::default()
})
.with_children(|commands| {
commands
.spawn(Node {
width: Val::Px(100.),
height: Val::Px(100.),
overflow: Overflow::clip(),
..Default::default()
})
.with_child((
Node {
position_type: PositionType::Absolute,
width: Val::Px(100.),
height: Val::Px(100.),
border: UiRect::all(Val::Px(10.)),
..Default::default()
},
BackgroundColor(Color::WHITE),
BorderColor(BLUE.into()),
));
commands
.spawn(Node {
width: Val::Px(50.),
height: Val::Px(50.),
overflow: Overflow::clip(),
..Default::default()
})
.with_child((
Node {
position_type: PositionType::Absolute,
width: Val::Px(100.),
height: Val::Px(100.),
border: UiRect::all(Val::Px(10.)),
..Default::default()
},
BackgroundColor(Color::WHITE),
BorderColor(BLUE.into()),
));
});
});
}
```
You can also see this problem in the `overflow` example. If you hover
over any of the clipped nodes you'll see that the outline only wraps the
visible section of the node
### Outlines are clipped incorrectly
A UI nodes Outline's are drawn outside of its bounds, so applying the
local clipping rect to the outline doesn't make any sense.
Instead an `Outline` should be clipped using its parent's clipping rect.
## Solution
* Pass the `point` value into the vertex shader instead of calculating
it in the shader.
* In `extract_uinode_borders` use the parents clipping rect when
clipping outlines.
The extra parameter isn't a great solution I think, but I wanted to fix
borders for the 0.15 release and this is the most minimal approach I
could think of without replacing the whole shader and prepare function.

# Objective
Fixes#15142
## Solution
* Moved all the UI border geometry calculations that were scattered
through the UI extraction functions into `ui_layout_system`.
* Added a `border: BorderRect` field to `Node` to store the border size
computed by `ui_layout_system`.
* Use the border values returned from Taffy rather than calculate them
ourselves during extraction.
* Removed the `logical_rect` and `physical_rect` methods from `Node` the
descriptions and namings are deceptive, it's better to create the rects
manually instead.
* Added a method `outline_radius` to `Node` that calculates the border
radius of outlines.
* For border values `ExtractedUiNode` takes `BorderRect` and
`ResolvedBorderRadius` now instead of raw `[f32; 4]` values and converts
them in `prepare_uinodes`.
* Removed some unnecessary scaling and clamping of border values
(#15142).
* Added a `BorderRect::ZERO` constant.
* Added an `outlined_node_size` method to `Node`.
## Testing
Added some non-uniform borders to the border example. Everything seems
to be in order:
<img width="626" alt="nub"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/258ed8b5-1a9e-4ac5-99c2-6bf25c0ef31c">
## Migration Guide
The `logical_rect` and `physical_rect` methods have been removed from
`Node`. Use `Rect::from_center_size` with the translation and node size
instead.
The types of the fields border and border_radius of `ExtractedUiNode`
have been changed to `BorderRect` and `ResolvedBorderRadius`
respectively.

# Objective
Currently, UI is always rendered with anti-aliasing. This makes bevy's
UI completely unsuitable for art-styles that demands hard pixelated
edges, such as retro-style games.
## Solution
Add a component for disabling anti-aliasing in UI.
## Testing
In
[`examples/ui/button.rs`](15e246eff8/examples/ui/button.rs),
add the component to the camera like this:
```rust
use bevy::{prelude::*, ui::prelude::*};
commands.spawn((Camera2dBundle::default(), UiAntiAlias::Off));
```
The rounded button will now render without anti-aliasing.
## Showcase
An example of a rounded UI node rendered without anti-aliasing, with and
without borders:

# Objective
- Fixes#13807
## Solution
- Before this pr we antialiased between 0.5 and -0.5. This pr changes
things to antialias between 0.25 and -0.25. I tried slightly larger
ranges, but the edge between the boxes still showed. I'm not 100% sure
this is the correct solution, but from what I could find the range you
use is more art than science.
## Testing
- Ran rounded_borders example, the code in the linked issue, and the
testing example from #12702.
---
## Changelog
- reduce antialiasing in ui shader.
# Objective
- Fixes#10909
- Fixes#8492
## Solution
- Name all matrices `x_from_y`, for example `world_from_view`.
## Testing
- I've tested most of the 3D examples. The `lighting` example
particularly should hit a lot of the changes and appears to run fine.
---
## Changelog
- Renamed matrices across the engine to follow a `y_from_x` naming,
making the space conversion more obvious.
## Migration Guide
- `Frustum`'s `from_view_projection`, `from_view_projection_custom_far`
and `from_view_projection_no_far` were renamed to
`from_clip_from_world`, `from_clip_from_world_custom_far` and
`from_clip_from_world_no_far`.
- `ComputedCameraValues::projection_matrix` was renamed to
`clip_from_view`.
- `CameraProjection::get_projection_matrix` was renamed to
`get_clip_from_view` (this affects implementations on `Projection`,
`PerspectiveProjection` and `OrthographicProjection`).
- `ViewRangefinder3d::from_view_matrix` was renamed to
`from_world_from_view`.
- `PreviousViewData`'s members were renamed to `view_from_world` and
`clip_from_world`.
- `ExtractedView`'s `projection`, `transform` and `view_projection` were
renamed to `clip_from_view`, `world_from_view` and `clip_from_world`.
- `ViewUniform`'s `view_proj`, `unjittered_view_proj`,
`inverse_view_proj`, `view`, `inverse_view`, `projection` and
`inverse_projection` were renamed to `clip_from_world`,
`unjittered_clip_from_world`, `world_from_clip`, `world_from_view`,
`view_from_world`, `clip_from_view` and `view_from_clip`.
- `GpuDirectionalCascade::view_projection` was renamed to
`clip_from_world`.
- `MeshTransforms`' `transform` and `previous_transform` were renamed to
`world_from_local` and `previous_world_from_local`.
- `MeshUniform`'s `transform`, `previous_transform`,
`inverse_transpose_model_a` and `inverse_transpose_model_b` were renamed
to `world_from_local`, `previous_world_from_local`,
`local_from_world_transpose_a` and `local_from_world_transpose_b` (the
`Mesh` type in WGSL mirrors this, however `transform` and
`previous_transform` were named `model` and `previous_model`).
- `Mesh2dTransforms::transform` was renamed to `world_from_local`.
- `Mesh2dUniform`'s `transform`, `inverse_transpose_model_a` and
`inverse_transpose_model_b` were renamed to `world_from_local`,
`local_from_world_transpose_a` and `local_from_world_transpose_b` (the
`Mesh2d` type in WGSL mirrors this).
- In WGSL, in `bevy_pbr::mesh_functions`, `get_model_matrix` and
`get_previous_model_matrix` were renamed to `get_world_from_local` and
`get_previous_world_from_local`.
- In WGSL, `bevy_sprite::mesh2d_functions::get_model_matrix` was renamed
to `get_world_from_local`.

## Solution
- call `textureSample` from outside the if. both branches are using the
same parameters
# Objective
- Fixes#13503
- Fix other various bugs I noticed while debugging above issue.
## Solution
- Change the antialiasing(AA) method. It was using fwidth which is the
derivative between pixels, but there were a lot of artifacts being added
from this. So just use the sdf value. This aa method probably isn't as
smooth looking, but better than having artifacts. Below is a
visualization of the fwidth.

- Use the internal sdf for drawing the background instead of the
external sdf and extract the border for these type of nodes. This fixed
2 bugs, one with the background coloring the AA pixels on the edge of
rounded borders. And also allows for the border to use a transparent
color.
- Don't extract borders if all the widths are zero.
## Testing
- played a bunch with the example in the linked issue.
This PR:

Main:

- ran the `borders` and `rounded_borders` examples

# Objective
- since #12500, text is a little bit more gray in UI
## Solution
- don't multiply color by alpha. I think this was done in the original
PR (#8973) for shadows which were not added in #12500
# Objective
Implements border radius for UI nodes. Adopted from #8973, but excludes
shadows.
## Solution
- Add a component `BorderRadius` which contains a radius value for each
corner of the UI node.
- Use a fragment shader to generate the rounded corners using a signed
distance function.

## Changelog
- `BorderRadius`: New component that holds the border radius values.
- `NodeBundle` & `ButtonBundle`: Added a `border_radius: BorderRadius`
field.
- `extract_uinode_borders`: Stripped down, most of the work is done in
the shader now. Borders are no longer assembled from multiple rects,
instead the shader uses a signed distance function to draw the border.
- `UiVertex`: Added size, border and radius fields.
- `UiPipeline`: Added three vertex attributes to the vertex buffer
layout, to accept the UI node's size, border thickness and border
radius.
- Examples: Added rounded corners to the UI element in the `button`
example, and a `rounded_borders` example.

# Objective
- bump naga_oil to 0.10
- update shader imports to use rusty syntax
## Migration Guide
naga_oil 0.10 reworks the import mechanism to support more syntax to
make it more rusty, and test for item use before importing to determine
which imports are modules and which are items, which allows:
- use rust-style imports
```
#import bevy_pbr::{
pbr_functions::{alpha_discard as discard, apply_pbr_lighting},
mesh_bindings,
}
```
- import partial paths:
```
#import part::of::path
...
path::remainder::function();
```
which will call to `part::of::path::remainder::function`
- use fully qualified paths without importing:
```
// #import bevy_pbr::pbr_functions
bevy_pbr::pbr_functions::pbr()
```
- use imported items without qualifying
```
#import bevy_pbr::pbr_functions::pbr
// for backwards compatibility the old style is still supported:
// #import bevy_pbr::pbr_functions pbr
...
pbr()
```
- allows most imported items to end with `_` and numbers (naga_oil#30).
still doesn't allow struct members to end with `_` or numbers but it's
progress.
- the vast majority of existing shader code will work without changes,
but will emit "deprecated" warnings for old-style imports. these can be
suppressed with the `allow-deprecated` feature.
- partly breaks overrides (as far as i'm aware nobody uses these yet) -
now overrides will only be applied if the overriding module is added as
an additional import in the arguments to `Composer::make_naga_module` or
`Composer::add_composable_module`. this is necessary to support
determining whether imports are modules or items.
# Objective
- When adding/removing bindings in large binding lists, git would
generate very difficult-to-read diffs
## Solution
- Move the `@group(X) @binding(Y)` into the same line as the binding
type declaration
# Objective
operate on naga IR directly to improve handling of shader modules.
- give codespan reporting into imported modules
- allow glsl to be used from wgsl and vice-versa
the ultimate objective is to make it possible to
- provide user hooks for core shader functions (to modify light
behaviour within the standard pbr pipeline, for example)
- make automatic binding slot allocation possible
but ... since this is already big, adds some value and (i think) is at
feature parity with the existing code, i wanted to push this now.
## Solution
i made a crate called naga_oil (https://github.com/robtfm/naga_oil -
unpublished for now, could be part of bevy) which manages modules by
- building each module independantly to naga IR
- creating "header" files for each supported language, which are used to
build dependent modules/shaders
- make final shaders by combining the shader IR with the IR for imported
modules
then integrated this into bevy, replacing some of the existing shader
processing stuff. also reworked examples to reflect this.
## Migration Guide
shaders that don't use `#import` directives should work without changes.
the most notable user-facing difference is that imported
functions/variables/etc need to be qualified at point of use, and
there's no "leakage" of visible stuff into your shader scope from the
imports of your imports, so if you used things imported by your imports,
you now need to import them directly and qualify them.
the current strategy of including/'spreading' `mesh_vertex_output`
directly into a struct doesn't work any more, so these need to be
modified as per the examples (e.g. color_material.wgsl, or many others).
mesh data is assumed to be in bindgroup 2 by default, if mesh data is
bound into bindgroup 1 instead then the shader def `MESH_BINDGROUP_1`
needs to be added to the pipeline shader_defs.

- Fix this error to be able to run UI examples in WebGPU

```
It was introduce in #8793
## Solution
- Add `@interpolate(flat)` to the `mode` field
# Objective
`prepare_uinodes` creates a new `UiBatch` whenever the texture changes,
when most often it's just queuing untextured quads. Instead of switching
textures, we can reduce the number of batches generated significantly by
adding a condition to the fragment shader so that it only multiplies by
the `textureSample` value when drawing a textured quad.
# Solution
Add a `mode` field to `UiVertex`.
In `prepare_uinodes` set `mode` to 0 if the quad is textured or 1 if
untextured.
Add a condition to the fragment shader that only multiplies by the
`color` value from `textureSample` if `mode` is set to 1.
---
## Changelog
* Added a `mode` field to `UiVertex`, and added an extra `u32` vertex
attribute to the shader and vertex buffer layout.
* In `prepare_uinodes` mode is set to 0 for the vertices of textured
quads, and 1 if untextured.
* Added a condition to the fragment shader in `ui.wgsl` that only
multiplies by the `color` value from `textureSample` if the mode is
equal to 0.
fixes#6799
# Objective
We should be able to reuse the `Globals` or `View` shader struct definitions from anywhere (including third party plugins) without needing to worry about defining unrelated shader defs.
Also we'd like to refactor these structs to not be repeatedly defined.

Refactor both `Globals` and `View` into separate importable shaders.
Use the imports throughout.

# Objective
fixes#5946
## Solution
adjust cluster index calculation for viewport origin.
from reading point 2 of the rasterization algorithm description in https://gpuweb.github.io/gpuweb/#rasterization, it looks like framebuffer space (and so @bulitin(position)) is not meant to be adjusted for viewport origin, so we need to subtract that to get the right cluster index.
- add viewport origin to rust `ExtractedView` and wgsl `View` structs
- subtract from frag coord for cluster index calculation
# Objective
- Similar to #5512 , the `View` struct definition in the shaders in `bevy_sprite` and `bevy_ui` were out of sync with the rust-side `ViewUniform`. Only `view_proj` was being used and is the first member and as those shaders are not customisable it makes little difference in practice, unlike for `Mesh2d`.
## Solution
- Sync shader `View` struct definition in `bevy_sprite` and `bevy_ui` with the correct definition that matches `ViewUniform`
# Objective
Fixes#3352Fixes#3208
## Solution
- Update wgpu to 0.12
- Update naga to 0.8
- Resolve compilation errors
- Remove [[block]] from WGSL shaders (because it is depracated and now wgpu cant parse it)
- Replace `elseif` with `else if` in pbr.wgsl
This makes the [New Bevy Renderer](#2535) the default (and only) renderer. The new renderer isn't _quite_ ready for the final release yet, but I want as many people as possible to start testing it so we can identify bugs and address feedback prior to release.
The examples are all ported over and operational with a few exceptions:
* I removed a good portion of the examples in the `shader` folder. We still have some work to do in order to make these examples possible / ergonomic / worthwhile: #3120 and "high level shader material plugins" are the big ones. This is a temporary measure.
* Temporarily removed the multiple_windows example: doing this properly in the new renderer will require the upcoming "render targets" changes. Same goes for the render_to_texture example.
* Removed z_sort_debug: entity visibility sort info is no longer available in app logic. we could do this on the "render app" side, but i dont consider it a priority.
