What happened?

I have wrote the following file

use iced::{
    canvas::{Cache, Cursor, Geometry, Path},
    executor, time,
    widget::canvas::{
        event::{self, Event},
        Program,
    },
    Application, Color, Command, Element, Point, Rectangle, Settings, Subscription, Canvas,
};

struct Example;

#[derive(Debug)]
enum Message {}

#[derive(Debug)]
struct ProgramCanvas {
    cache: Cache,
}

impl Application for Example {
    type Executor = executor::Default;
    type Message = Message;
    type Flags = bool;

    fn new(_flags: Self::Flags) -> (Example, Command<Self::Message>) {
        (Example, Command::none())
    }

	fn title(&self) -> String {
		String::from("Title")
	}

	fn update(&mut self ,_: Self::Message) -> Command<Self::Message> {
		Command::none()
	}

    fn view(&mut self) -> Element<Self::Message> {
        use iced::{Container, Length};
        Canvas::new(ProgramCanvas::new())
        .width(Length::Fill)
        .height(Length::Fill)
        .into()
    }
}

impl ProgramCanvas {
    fn new() -> Self {
        Self {
            cache: Cache::new(),
        }
    }
}

impl Program<Message> for ProgramCanvas {
    fn draw(&self, bounds: Rectangle, _cursor: Cursor) -> Vec<Geometry> {
        let chip_view = self.cache.draw(bounds.size(), |frame| {
            let space = Path::rectangle(Point::ORIGIN, frame.size());
            frame.fill(&space, Color::BLACK);
            log::info!("DRAWING");
            frame.translate(frame.center() - Point::ORIGIN);
        });
        vec![chip_view]
    }
}

pub fn main() -> iced::Result {
    Example::run(Settings {
        id: Some(String::from("Some")),
        window: iced::window::Settings {
            size: (64 * 15, 32 * 15),
            min_size: Some((64 * 15, 32 * 15)),
            max_size: Some((64 * 15, 32 * 15)),
            resizable: false,
            ..iced::window::Settings::default()
        },
        flags: false,
        default_font: None,
        default_text_size: 20,
        text_multithreading: false,
        antialiasing: true,
        exit_on_close_request: true,
        try_opengles_first: false,
    })
}

with the following Cargo.toml

[package]
name = "example"
version = "0.1.0"
edition = "2021"

[dependencies]
rand = "0.8.4"
iced = { version = "~0.4" , features = ["canvas", "tokio"] }
iced_native = "~0.4"
rodio = "0.15.0"
log = "0.4.16"
env_logger = "0.9.0"
builder-pattern = "0.4.2"
byteorder = "1.4.3"

And I am only getting a white screen.

What is the expected behavior?

A black screen

Version

master

Operative System

Linux

Do you have any log output?

No response

Do any of the Canvas examples work for you (e.g. clock, solar_system,game_of_life...)?
Is this the simplest example possible? Are the unrelated dependencies necessary to reproduce the issue? What about the canvas::Cache?
Does disabling antialiasing help in any way? What happens if you enable the glow feature in your Cargo.toml?

@hecrj

The example clock is a white screen. The example game_of_life is no working properly, does no show any cell. The example solar system is a white screen.

The Cargo.toml can be reduced to

[package]
name = "example"
version = "0.1.0"
edition = "2021"

[dependencies]
iced = { version = "~0.4" , features = ["canvas", "tokio"] }
iced_native = "~0.4"
log = "0.4.16"
env_logger = "0.9.0"

The disabling of anti-aliasing does in fact solve the problem. The enabling to the feature glow does in fact also solve the problem. And the mixing of two also solve the problem.

@hecrj On Arch Linux I have solved this problem before when using iced. Adding the "glow" feature to each iced project while using Arch Linux and likely other Linux distros solves the problem and everything works properly.

I was seeing the same issue (although solar_system was black instead of white). Adding feature "glow" fixed it for me. Running Ubuntu 22.04.

I checked out iced for the first time today. I also had the issue that every Canvas was just white. Activating "glow" feature makes it work. Also running ubuntu 22.04.
