plotters-gpui

GPUI backend for plotters.

Please goto https://github.com/JakkuSakura/plotters-gpui for more information.

Due to gpui not being published on crates.io, you need to add the following to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
plotters-gpui = { git = "https://github.com/JakkuSakura/plotters-gpui" }

If you failed to build on linux due to font-kit, you might need to add the following to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
font-kit = { git = "https://github.com/JakkuSakura/font-kit-patched", features = ["source-fontconfig-dlopen"] }

# this is to sync versions of font-kit
[patch."https://github.com/zed-instustries/font-kit"]
font-kit = { git = "https://github.com/JakkuSakura/font-kit-patched" }

# because plotters' font-kit might fail
[patch.crates-io]
font-kit = { git = "https://github.com/JakkuSakura/font-kit-patched" }
