# WebRender
GPU renderer for the Web content, used by Servo.

## Update as a Dependency
After updating shaders in WebRender, go to servo and:

  * Go to the servo directory and do ./mach update-cargo -p webrender
  * Create a pull request to servo


## Use WebRender with Servo
To use a local copy of WebRender with servo, go to your servo build directory and:

  * Edit Cargo.toml
  * Add at the end of the file:

```
[patch."https://github.com/servo/webrender"]
"webrender" = { path = "<path>/webrender" }
"webrender_api" = { path = "<path>/webrender_api" }
```

where `<path>` is the path to your local copy of WebRender.

  * Build as normal
