Architecture

GradientMesh is intentionally small.

It is structured as a Gideros/Lua graphics utility with:

• a core mesh-generation module;
• sample scenes;
• source assets;
• rendered documentation screenshots;
• a Gideros project file;
• a sample launcher.

Responsibility map

Core module

The main reusable unit is:

GradientMesh.lua

It is responsible for generating geometry and assigning rendering data such as:

• vertices;
• triangle indices;
• colors;
• alpha values;
• texture coordinates;
• optional radial holes;
• optional antialiasing rings.

Examples and samples

Examples demonstrate the intended use cases:

• gradient overlays;
• texture masking;
• hexagon portrait masks;
• radial shapes with holes and deformation;
• radial splash masks.

Visual documentation

Rendered examples live in the GradientMesh repository under:

docs/images/

The GitHub Pages documentation references those images through the source repository instead of duplicating them locally.
