Afaik egui isn't doing any kind of the fancy GPU based 2D graphics this blog post is about though.

have a look at what egui creator (and his team) been doing with rerun [0] Egui seems well suited to render even tens of thousands pointcloud with wgpu backend.

Rerun dev here :). Yes, we're using egui with its wgpu backend! As someone else pointed out it is backend agnostic - it essentially generates triangles & textures in GPU friendly way and passes those down to a backend implementation.

All the visualizations like the 3D scenes with point clouds etc. are rendered with our open-source in-house renderer ("re_renderer") which itself is then passing wgpu surfaces/commands to the egui wgpu backend that composites everything together then.

It uses glow, GL on whatever, so OpenGL when it exists.

That doesn't mean it's doing any kind of GPU acceleration of 2D graphics.

Given that they don't talk about it in the README, I'm pretty sure they don't.

I use egui. The library itself is agnostic but relies on backend libraries for rendering, all of which (or at least the official ones) render on the GPU.
