Subpixel Zoo: A Catalog of Subpixel Geometry

Display devices show color by illuminating small flat-color 'subpixels'—typically red, green, blue. They can be arranged in many ways. This page intends to be an exhaustive gallery of all subpixel variants found in the wild.

Regarding https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@gob/112450371375832518, the best system for shader code I've used was at Media Molecule on Dreams:

- Any C++ file could embed a PSSL shader with macro begin/end, gets automatically compiled as part of the build process.
- PSSL and C++ shared headers of structs/defines/enums so always in sync.
- Lots of systems supported compiling as both C++ and PSSL (e.g. the whole maths lib, which used clang ext_vector for shader-like syntax/swizzles in C++ too)

All shading languages suck. Moreover, they’re an outdated concept and they’re failing us. https://xol.io/blah/death-to-shading-languages/

New blog post: "Exact UNORM8 to float" https://fgiesen.wordpress.com/2024/11/06/exact-unorm8-to-float/ nobody asked, but here we go.

Exact UNORM8 to float

GPUs support UNORM formats that represent a number inside [0,1] as an 8-bit unsigned integer. In exact arithmetic, the conversion to a floating-point number is straightforward: take the integer and…
