bevy/examples/shader/custom_phase_item.rs

//! Demonstrates how to enqueue custom draw commands in a render phase.
//!
//! This example shows how to use the built-in
//! [`bevy_render::render_phase::BinnedRenderPhase`] functionality with a
//! custom [`RenderCommand`] to allow inserting arbitrary GPU drawing logic
//! into Bevy's pipeline. This is not the only way to add custom rendering code
//! into Bevy—render nodes are another, lower-level method—but it does allow
//! for better reuse of parts of Bevy's built-in mesh rendering logic.
