Feature Gallery

These examples are automatically generated from sample config files at during the build. You can see the TOML that defined them and the final results demonstrating many of the features of BgRaster. Note that anything under render and output.hardware_output is used for generating these files without physical displays so is not useful under most production scenarios.

Background Color

  • What it demonstrates: solid background color fill.
  • Sample config: background.toml

Background Alternating

  • What it demonstrates: alternating-pixel checker pattern used for signal verification. You probably need to zoom in to appreciate this. However you try to zoom it, it will probably look mushy. It's already telling you something about your render pipeline!
