# Objective
Add a way to use the gizmo API in a retained manner, for increased
performance.
## Solution
- Move gizmo API from `Gizmos` to `GizmoBuffer`, ~ab~using `Deref` to
keep usage the same as before.
- Merge non-strip and strip variant of `LineGizmo` into one, storing the
data in a `GizmoBuffer` to have the same API for retained `LineGizmo`s.
### Review guide
- The meat of the changes are in `lib.rs`, `retained.rs`, `gizmos.rs`,
`pipeline_3d.rs` and `pipeline_2d.rs`
- The other files contain almost exclusively the churn from moving the
gizmo API from `Gizmos` to `GizmoBuffer`
## Testing
### Performance
Performance compared to the immediate mode API is from 65 to 80 times
better for static lines.
```
7900 XTX, 3700X
1707.9k lines/ms: gizmos_retained (21.3ms)
3488.5k lines/ms: gizmos_retained_continuous_polyline (31.3ms)
0.5k lines/ms: gizmos_retained_separate (97.7ms)
3054.9k lines/ms: bevy_polyline_retained_nan (16.8ms)
3596.3k lines/ms: bevy_polyline_retained_continuous_polyline (14.2ms)
0.6k lines/ms: bevy_polyline_retained_separate (78.9ms)
26.9k lines/ms: gizmos_immediate (14.9ms)
43.8k lines/ms: gizmos_immediate_continuous_polyline (18.3ms)
```
Looks like performance is good enough, being close to par with
`bevy_polyline`.

## Showcase
```rust
fn setup(
mut commands: Commands,
mut gizmo_assets: ResMut<Assets<GizmoAsset>>
) {
let mut gizmo = GizmoAsset::default();
// A sphere made out of one million lines!
gizmo
.sphere(default(), 1., CRIMSON)
.resolution(1_000_000 / 3);
commands.spawn(Gizmo {
handle: gizmo_assets.add(gizmo),
..default()
});
}
```
## Follow-up work
- Port over to the retained rendering world proper
- Calculate visibility and cull `Gizmo`s
# Objective
- Fixes#6370
- Closes#6581
## Solution
- Added the following lints to the workspace:
- `std_instead_of_core`
- `std_instead_of_alloc`
- `alloc_instead_of_core`
- Used `cargo +nightly fmt` with [item level use
formatting](https://rust-lang.github.io/rustfmt/?version=v1.6.0&search=#Item%5C%3A)
to split all `use` statements into single items.
- Used `cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --all-features --fix
--allow-dirty` to _attempt_ to resolve the new linting issues, and
intervened where the lint was unable to resolve the issue automatically
(usually due to needing an `extern crate alloc;` statement in a crate
root).
- Manually removed certain uses of `std` where negative feature gating
prevented `--all-features` from finding the offending uses.
- Used `cargo +nightly fmt` with [crate level use
formatting](https://rust-lang.github.io/rustfmt/?version=v1.6.0&search=#Crate%5C%3A)
to re-merge all `use` statements matching Bevy's previous styling.
- Manually fixed cases where the `fmt` tool could not re-merge `use`
statements due to conditional compilation attributes.
## Testing
- Ran CI locally
## Migration Guide
The MSRV is now 1.81. Please update to this version or higher.
## Notes
- This is a _massive_ change to try and push through, which is why I've
outlined the semi-automatic steps I used to create this PR, in case this
fails and someone else tries again in the future.
- Making this change has no impact on user code, but does mean Bevy
contributors will be warned to use `core` and `alloc` instead of `std`
where possible.
- This lint is a critical first step towards investigating `no_std`
options for Bevy.

# Objective
When trying to test a gizmos change I ran `cargo test -p bevy_gizmos`
and the output had a lot of noise from warnings and failed doc errors.
This was because I didn't have all of the features enabled.
## Solution
I admit this might be pedantic, and am happy if the concensus is to
reject it. Although it does reduce the lines of code, testing noise, and
the amount of code compiled. I don't think it affects the complexity of
public code, and it doesn't change much to the complexity of internal
code.
I've removed un-needed `bevy_render` imports in all of the gizmos docs
examples, there's probably other unnecessary ones there too, but I
haven't looked exhaustively. It isn't needed for those docs, and isn't
available except in a subset of `cfg` combinations.
I've also made several of the `use` statements slightly more specific. I
shouldn't have changed the public interfaces, except that
`GizmoMeshConfig` requires either `bevy_sprite` or `bevy_pbr`, as it
does nothing without them.
I've also avoided adding some systems and plugins in situations where
they can't work. An example of this is where the `light` module depends
on `all(feature = "bevy_pbr", feature = "bevy_render")`, but it has
`use` statements that only require `bevy_render`.
## Testing
During development I ran:
```
cargo check -p bevy_gizmos && cargo check -p bevy_gizmos --features=bevy_pbr && cargo check -p bevy_gizmos --features=bevy_sprite && cargo check -p bevy_gizmos --features=bevy_render
```
Afterwards I ran this just to be sure:
```
cargo check && cargo check --features=bevy_pbr && cargo check --features=bevy_sprite && cargo check --features=bevy_render
```
Finally I ran:
```
cargo test -p bevy_gizmos && cargo test -p bevy_gizmos --features=bevy_pbr && test check -p bevy_gizmos --features=bevy_sprite && cargo test -p bevy_gizmos --features=bevy_render
```
## Migration Guide
There shouldn't be any reason to migrate, although if for some reason
you use `GizmoMeshConfig` and `bevy_render` but not `bevy_pbr` or
`bevy_sprite` (such that it does nothing), then you will get an error
that it no longer exists.
# Objective
This PR makes `bevy_render` an optional dependency for `bevy_gizmos`,
thereby allowing `bevy_gizmos` to be used with alternative rendering
backend.
Previously `bevy_gizmos` assumes that one of `bevy_pbr` or `bevy_sprite`
will be enabled. Here we introduced a new feature named `bevy_render`
which disables all rendering-related code paths. An alternative renderer
will then take the `LineGizmo` assets (made public in this PR) and issue
draw calls on their own. A new field `config_ty` was added to
`LineGizmo` to help looking up the related configuration info.
---
## Migration Guide
No user-visible changes needed from the users.
# Objective
Remove the limit of `RenderLayer` by using a growable mask using
`SmallVec`.
Changes adopted from @UkoeHB's initial PR here
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/12502 that contained additional
changes related to propagating render layers.
Changes
## Solution
The main thing needed to unblock this is removing `RenderLayers` from
our shader code. This primarily affects `DirectionalLight`. We are now
computing a `skip` field on the CPU that is then used to skip the light
in the shader.
## Testing
Checked a variety of examples and did a quick benchmark on `many_cubes`.
There were some existing problems identified during the development of
the original pr (see:
https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/1220477928605749340/1221190112939872347).
This PR shouldn't change any existing behavior besides removing the
layer limit (sans the comment in migration about `all` layers no longer
being possible).
---
## Changelog
Removed the limit on `RenderLayers` by using a growable bitset that only
allocates when layers greater than 64 are used.
## Migration Guide
- `RenderLayers::all()` no longer exists. Entities expecting to be
visible on all layers, e.g. lights, should compute the active layers
that are in use.

# Objective
- Adds line styles to bevy gizmos, suggestion of #9400
- Currently solid and dotted lines are implemented but this can easily
be extended to support dashed lines as well if that is wanted.
## Solution
- Adds the enum `GizmoLineStyle` and uses it in each `GizmoConfig` to
configure the style of the line.
- Each "dot" in a dotted line has the same width and height as the
`line_width` of the corresponding line.
---
## Changelog
- Added `GizmoLineStyle` to `bevy_gizmos`
- Added a `line_style: GizmoLineStyle ` attribute to `GizmoConfig`
- Updated the `lines.wgsl` shader and the pipelines accordingly.
## Migration Guide
- Any manually created `GizmoConfig` must now include the `line_style`
attribute
## Additional information
Some pretty pictures :)
This is the 3d_gizmos example with/without `line_perspective`:

# Objective
- Adds gizmo line joints, suggestion of #9400
## Solution
- Adds `line_joints: GizmoLineJoint` to `GizmoConfig`. Currently the
following values are supported:
- `GizmoLineJoint::None`: does not draw line joints, same behaviour as
previously
- `GizmoLineJoint::Bevel`: draws a single triangle between the lines
- `GizmoLineJoint::Miter` / 'spiky joints': draws two triangles between
the lines extending them until they meet at a (miter) point.
- NOTE: for very small angles between the lines, which happens
frequently in 3d, the miter point will be very far away from the point
at which the lines meet.
- `GizmoLineJoint::Round(resolution)`: Draw a circle arc between the
lines. The circle is a triangle fan of `resolution` triangles.
---
## Changelog
- Added `GizmoLineJoint`, use that in `GizmoConfig` and added necessary
pipelines and draw commands.
- Added a new `line_joints.wgsl` shader containing three vertex shaders
`vertex_bevel`, `vertex_miter` and `vertex_round` as well as a basic
`fragment` shader.
## Migration Guide
Any manually created `GizmoConfig`s must now set the `.line_joints`
field.
## Known issues
- The way we currently create basic closed shapes like rectangles,
circles, triangles or really any closed 2d shape means that one of the
corners will not be drawn with joints, although that would probably be
expected. (see the triangle in the 2d image)
- This could be somewhat mitigated by introducing line caps or fixed by
adding another segment overlapping the first of the strip. (Maybe in a
followup PR?)
- 3d shapes can look 'off' with line joints (especially bevel) because
wherever 3 or more lines meet one of them may stick out beyond the joint
drawn between the other 2.
- Adding additional lines so that there is a joint between every line at
a corner would fix this but would probably be too computationally
expensive.
- Miter joints are 'unreasonably long' for very small angles between the
lines (the angle is the angle between the lines in screen space). This
is technically correct but distracting and does not feel right,
especially in 3d contexts. I think limiting the length of the miter to
the point at which the lines meet might be a good idea.
- The joints may be drawn with a different gizmo in-between them and
their corresponding lines in 2d. Some sort of z-ordering would probably
be good here, but I believe this may be out of scope for this PR.

- The black lines shooting out from the cube are miter joints that get
very long because the lines between which they are drawn are (almost)
collinear in screen space.

# Objective
- Make `GizmoConfigStore` play well with reflection-based workflows like
editors.
## Solution
- `#[derive(Reflect)]` and call `.register_type()`.
Use `TypeIdMap<T>` instead of `HashMap<TypeId, T>`
- ~~`TypeIdMap` was in `bevy_ecs`. I've kept it there because of
#11478~~
- ~~I haven't swapped `bevy_reflect` over because it doesn't depend on
`bevy_ecs`, but I'd also be happy with moving `TypeIdMap` to
`bevy_utils` and then adding a dependency to that~~
- ~~this is a slight change in the public API of
`DrawFunctionsInternal`, does this need to go in the changelog?~~
## Changelog
- moved `TypeIdMap` to `bevy_utils`
- changed `DrawFunctionsInternal::indices` to `TypeIdMap`
## Migration Guide
- `TypeIdMap` now lives in `bevy_utils`
- `DrawFunctionsInternal::indices` now uses a `TypeIdMap`.

# Objective
This PR aims to implement multiple configs for gizmos as discussed in
#9187.
## Solution
Configs for the new `GizmoConfigGroup`s are stored in a
`GizmoConfigStore` resource and can be accesses using a type based key
or iterated over. This type based key doubles as a standardized location
where plugin authors can put their own configuration not covered by the
standard `GizmoConfig` struct. For example the `AabbGizmoGroup` has a
default color and toggle to show all AABBs. New configs can be
registered using `app.init_gizmo_group::<T>()` during startup.
When requesting the `Gizmos<T>` system parameter the generic type
determines which config is used. The config structs are available
through the `Gizmos` system parameter allowing for easy access while
drawing your gizmos.
Internally, resources and systems used for rendering (up to an including
the extract system) are generic over the type based key and inserted on
registering a new config.
## Alternatives
The configs could be stored as components on entities with markers which
would make better use of the ECS. I also implemented this approach
([here](https://github.com/jeliag/bevy/tree/gizmo-multiconf-comp)) and
believe that the ergonomic benefits of a central config store outweigh
the decreased use of the ECS.
## Unsafe Code
Implementing system parameter by hand is unsafe but seems to be required
to access the config store once and not on every gizmo draw function
call. This is critical for performance. ~Is there a better way to do
this?~
## Future Work
New gizmos (such as #10038, and ideas from #9400) will require custom
configuration structs. Should there be a new custom config for every
gizmo type, or should we group them together in a common configuration?
(for example `EditorGizmoConfig`, or something more fine-grained)
## Changelog
- Added `GizmoConfigStore` resource and `GizmoConfigGroup` trait
- Added `init_gizmo_group` to `App`
- Added early returns to gizmo drawing increasing performance when
gizmos are disabled
- Changed `GizmoConfig` and aabb gizmos to use new `GizmoConfigStore`
- Changed `Gizmos` system parameter to use type based key to retrieve
config
- Changed resources and systems used for gizmo rendering to be generic
over type based key
- Changed examples (3d_gizmos, 2d_gizmos) to showcase new API
## Migration Guide
- `GizmoConfig` is no longer a resource and has to be accessed through
`GizmoConfigStore` resource. The default config group is
`DefaultGizmoGroup`, but consider using your own custom config group if
applicable.
