# 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
Several of our APIs (namely gizmos and bounding) use isometries on
current Bevy main. This is nicer than separate properties in a lot of
cases, but users have still expressed usability concerns.
One problem is that in a lot of cases, you only care about e.g.
translation, so you end up with this:
```rust
gizmos.cross_2d(
Isometry2d::from_translation(Vec2::new(-160.0, 120.0)),
12.0,
FUCHSIA,
);
```
The isometry adds quite a lot of length and verbosity, and isn't really
that relevant since only the translation is important here.
It would be nice if you could use the translation directly, and only
supply an isometry if both translation and rotation are needed. This
would make the following possible:
```rust
gizmos.cross_2d(Vec2::new(-160.0, 120.0), 12.0, FUCHSIA);
```
removing a lot of verbosity.
## Solution
Implement `From<Vec2>` and `From<Rot2>` for `Isometry2d`, and
`From<Vec3>`, `From<Vec3A>`, and `From<Quat>` for `Isometry3d`. These
are lossless conversions that fit the semantics of `From`.
This makes the proposed API possible! The methods must now simply take
an `impl Into<IsometryNd>`, and this works:
```rust
gizmos.cross_2d(Vec2::new(-160.0, 120.0), 12.0, FUCHSIA);
```
# Objective
- Fixes#15236
## Solution
- Use bevy_math::ops instead of std floating point operations.
## Testing
- Did you test these changes? If so, how?
Unit tests and `cargo run -p ci -- test`
- How can other people (reviewers) test your changes? Is there anything
specific they need to know?
Execute `cargo run -p ci -- test` on Windows.
- If relevant, what platforms did you test these changes on, and are
there any important ones you can't test?
Windows
## Migration Guide
- Not a breaking change
- Projects should use bevy math where applicable

# Objective
With the current implementation of `Plane3d` gizmos, it's really hard to
get a good feeling for big planes. Usually I tend to add more axes as a
user but that doesn't scale well and is pretty wasteful. It's hard to
recognize the plane in the distance here. Especially if there would've
been other rendered objects in the scene
## Solution
- Since we got grid gizmos in the mean time, I went ahead and just
reused them here.
## Testing
I added an instance of the new `Plane3D` to the `3d_gizmos.rs` example.
If you want to look at it you need to look around a bit. I didn't
position it in the center since that was too crowded already.
---
## Showcase
## Migration Guide
The optional builder methods on
```rust
gizmos.primitive_3d(&Plane3d { }, ...);
```
changed from
- `segment_length`
- `segment_count`
- `axis_count`
to
- `cell_count`
- `spacing`
# Objective
- Solves the last bullet in and closes#14319
- Make better use of the `Isometry` types
- Prevent issues like #14655
- Probably simplify and clean up a lot of code through the use of Gizmos
as well (i.e. the 3D gizmos for cylinders circles & lines don't connect
well, probably due to wrong rotations)
## Solution
- go through the `bevy_gizmos` crate and give all methods a slight
workover
## Testing
- For all the changed examples I run `git switch main && cargo rr
--example <X> && git switch <BRANCH> && cargo rr --example <X>` and
compare the visual results
- Check if all doc tests are still compiling
- Check the docs in general and update them !!!
---
## Migration Guide
The gizmos methods function signature changes as follows:
- 2D
- if it took `position` & `rotation_angle` before ->
`Isometry2d::new(position, Rot2::radians(rotation_angle))`
- if it just took `position` before ->
`Isometry2d::from_translation(position)`
- 3D
- if it took `position` & `rotation` before ->
`Isometry3d::new(position, rotation)`
- if it just took `position` before ->
`Isometry3d::from_translation(position)`
# 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
It looks like `Gizmos::grid*` was missed in the colour migration.
## Solution
This updates the `grid` methods and implementation to use `Color`
instead of `LinearRgba`.
It looks like `ExtractedPointLight` and `ExtractedDirectionalLight` also
use `LinearRgba`, although I think in extracted structures it's probably
fine to make more assumptions about what you want?
## Testing
I ran `cargo test --all -- bevy_gizmos` and it passed.
## Migration Guide
This shouldn't be adding anything that isn't already in a migration
guide? I assume as it uses `impl Into<...>` in the public interfaces
that any users of these APIs shouldn't have to make any code changes.
# Objective
- Fixes#14655
## Solution
Rotation should happen first as this is more easier to conceptualize in
the mind: We rotate around the coordinate origin `Vec3::ZERO` and then
we just shift the geometry so that its center is exactly on the
specified position
## Testing && Showcase
Code:
```rust
gizmos.grid(
Vec3::ONE * 10.0,
Quat::from_rotation_x(PI / 3. * 2.),
UVec2::splat(20),
Vec2::new(2., 2.),
PURPLE,
);
gizmos.sphere(Vec3::ONE * 10.0, Quat::default(), 1.0, PURPLE);
```

After picture:
## Migration Guide
- Users might have to double check their already existing calls to all
the `grid` methods. It should be more intuitive now though.
# Objective
Allow `Gizmos` to work in `FixedUpdate` without any changes needed. This
changes `Gizmos` from being a purely immediate mode api, but allows the
user to use it as if it were an immediate mode API regardless of
schedule context.
Also allows for extending by other custom schedules by adding their own
`GizmoStorage<Clear>` and the requisite systems:
- `propagate_gizmos::<Clear>` before `update_gizmo_meshes`
- `stash_default_gizmos` when starting a clear context
- `pop_default_gizmos` when ending a clear context
- `collect_default_gizmos` when grabbing the requested gizmos
- `clear_gizmos` for clearing the context's gizmos
## Solution
Adds a generic to `Gizmos` that defaults to `Update` (the current way
gizmos works). When entering a new clear context the default `Gizmos`
gets swapped out for that context's duration so the context can collect
the gizmos requested.
Prior work: https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/9153
## To do
- [x] `FixedUpdate` should probably get its own First, Pre, Update,
Post, Last system sets for this. Otherwise users will need to make sure
to order their systems before `clear_gizmos`. This could alternatively
be fixed by moving the setup of this to `bevy_time::fixed`?
PR to fix this issue: https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/10977
- [x] use mem::take internally for the swaps?
- [x] Better name for the `Context` generic on gizmos? `Clear`?
---
## Changelog
- Gizmos drawn in `FixedMain` now last until the next `FixedMain`
iteration runs.
# Objective
- Adds 3d grids, suggestion of #9400
## Solution
- Added 3d grids (grids spanning all three dimensions, not flat grids)
to bevy_gizmos
---
## Changelog
- `gizmos.grid(...)` and `gizmos.grid_2d(...)` now return a
`GridBuilder2d`.
- Added `gizmos.grid_3d(...)` which returns a `GridBuilder3d`.
- The difference between them is basically only that `GridBuilder3d`
exposes some methods for configuring the z axis while the 2d version
doesn't.
- Allowed for drawing the outer edges along a specific axis by calling
`.outer_edges_x()`, etc. on the builder.
## Additional information
Please note that I have not added the 3d grid to any example as not to
clutter them.
Here is an image of what the 3d grid looks like:

# Objective
- As part of the migration process we need to a) see the end effect of
the migration on user ergonomics b) check for serious perf regressions
c) actually migrate the code
- To accomplish this, I'm going to attempt to migrate all of the
remaining user-facing usages of `LegacyColor` in one PR, being careful
to keep a clean commit history.
- Fixes#12056.
## Solution
I've chosen to use the polymorphic `Color` type as our standard
user-facing API.
- [x] Migrate `bevy_gizmos`.
- [x] Take `impl Into<Color>` in all `bevy_gizmos` APIs
- [x] Migrate sprites
- [x] Migrate UI
- [x] Migrate `ColorMaterial`
- [x] Migrate `MaterialMesh2D`
- [x] Migrate fog
- [x] Migrate lights
- [x] Migrate StandardMaterial
- [x] Migrate wireframes
- [x] Migrate clear color
- [x] Migrate text
- [x] Migrate gltf loader
- [x] Register color types for reflection
- [x] Remove `LegacyColor`
- [x] Make sure CI passes
Incidental improvements to ease migration:
- added `Color::srgba_u8`, `Color::srgba_from_array` and friends
- added `set_alpha`, `is_fully_transparent` and `is_fully_opaque` to the
`Alpha` trait
- add and immediately deprecate (lol) `Color::rgb` and friends in favor
of more explicit and consistent `Color::srgb`
- standardized on white and black for most example text colors
- added vector field traits to `LinearRgba`: ~~`Add`, `Sub`,
`AddAssign`, `SubAssign`,~~ `Mul<f32>` and `Div<f32>`. Multiplications
and divisions do not scale alpha. `Add` and `Sub` have been cut from
this PR.
- added `LinearRgba` and `Srgba` `RED/GREEN/BLUE`
- added `LinearRgba_to_f32_array` and `LinearRgba::to_u32`
## Migration Guide
Bevy's color types have changed! Wherever you used a
`bevy::render::Color`, a `bevy::color::Color` is used instead.
These are quite similar! Both are enums storing a color in a specific
color space (or to be more precise, using a specific color model).
However, each of the different color models now has its own type.
TODO...
- `Color::rgba`, `Color::rgb`, `Color::rbga_u8`, `Color::rgb_u8`,
`Color::rgb_from_array` are now `Color::srgba`, `Color::srgb`,
`Color::srgba_u8`, `Color::srgb_u8` and `Color::srgb_from_array`.
- `Color::set_a` and `Color::a` is now `Color::set_alpha` and
`Color::alpha`. These are part of the `Alpha` trait in `bevy_color`.
- `Color::is_fully_transparent` is now part of the `Alpha` trait in
`bevy_color`
- `Color::r`, `Color::set_r`, `Color::with_r` and the equivalents for
`g`, `b` `h`, `s` and `l` have been removed due to causing silent
relatively expensive conversions. Convert your `Color` into the desired
color space, perform your operations there, and then convert it back
into a polymorphic `Color` enum.
- `Color::hex` is now `Srgba::hex`. Call `.into` or construct a
`Color::Srgba` variant manually to convert it.
- `WireframeMaterial`, `ExtractedUiNode`, `ExtractedDirectionalLight`,
`ExtractedPointLight`, `ExtractedSpotLight` and `ExtractedSprite` now
store a `LinearRgba`, rather than a polymorphic `Color`
- `Color::rgb_linear` and `Color::rgba_linear` are now
`Color::linear_rgb` and `Color::linear_rgba`
- The various CSS color constants are no longer stored directly on
`Color`. Instead, they're defined in the `Srgba` color space, and
accessed via `bevy::color::palettes::css`. Call `.into()` on them to
convert them into a `Color` for quick debugging use, and consider using
the much prettier `tailwind` palette for prototyping.
- The `LIME_GREEN` color has been renamed to `LIMEGREEN` to comply with
the standard naming.
- Vector field arithmetic operations on `Color` (add, subtract, multiply
and divide by a f32) have been removed. Instead, convert your colors
into `LinearRgba` space, and perform your operations explicitly there.
This is particularly relevant when working with emissive or HDR colors,
whose color channel values are routinely outside of the ordinary 0 to 1
range.
- `Color::as_linear_rgba_f32` has been removed. Call
`LinearRgba::to_f32_array` instead, converting if needed.
- `Color::as_linear_rgba_u32` has been removed. Call
`LinearRgba::to_u32` instead, converting if needed.
- Several other color conversion methods to transform LCH or HSL colors
into float arrays or `Vec` types have been removed. Please reimplement
these externally or open a PR to re-add them if you found them
particularly useful.
- Various methods on `Color` such as `rgb` or `hsl` to convert the color
into a specific color space have been removed. Convert into
`LinearRgba`, then to the color space of your choice.
- Various implicitly-converting color value methods on `Color` such as
`r`, `g`, `b` or `h` have been removed. Please convert it into the color
space of your choice, then check these properties.
- `Color` no longer implements `AsBindGroup`. Store a `LinearRgba`
internally instead to avoid conversion costs.

# Objective
- Implement grid gizmos, suggestion of #9400
## Solution
- Added `gizmos.grid(...) ` and `gizmos.grid_2d(...)`
- The grids may be configured using `.outer_edges(...)` to specify
whether to draw the outer border/edges of the grid and `.skew(...)`to
specify the skew of the grid along the x or y directions.
---
## Changelog
- Added a `grid` module to `bevy_gizmos` containing `gizmos.grid(...) `
and `gizmos.grid_2d(...)` as well as assorted items.
- Updated the `2d_gizmos` and `3d_gizmos` examples to use grids.
