Clyune Component GalleryWater Surface · How it works & code
A surface formed by superimposed sine waves of different directions and frequencies; bright scintillation spots appear at peak height regions; adjust phase with the pointer.
Runtime logic
Visiting `/webgl/water`, DemoHost lazy-loads `demos/kits/kit-webgl.js` (registry `mod: 'kit-webgl'`) and calls `mount(host, { variant: 'water' })`. mount resolves the variant to family `water`; `withControls` builds the control panel (6 presets + sliders). `createCanvasStage` creates the `<canvas>` (HiDPI ≤ 2×, ResizeObserver) and the info panel. `makeGL` compiles this demo’s GLSL fragment shader on an offscreen WebGL canvas; each frame sets uniforms (u_t, u_m, u_col…), `drawArrays` renders a full-screen quad, then `drawImage` copies it onto the 2D stage. The family’s `build(S)` initialises state and returns the per-frame callback. Every `requestAnimationFrame`: read controls, advance a speed-scaled clock (dt ≤ 50 ms), run the frame callback; returned readouts go to the info panel. Changing parameters: colour/speed/size apply live; structural ones remount; leaving the page cancels rAF, removes listeners and frees resources.

Imported APIs
withControls — Wraps the demo in the shared control panel (presets, sliders, reset); hot-updates or remounts on change; paramsFromSpec — Turns the spec (colour/speed/size/count/extras) into control-panel parameter definitions; createCanvasStage — Shared Canvas 2D stage: canvas + info panel, HiDPI, one rAF loop, pointer state, idle auto-pointer; hexRgb — Colour string → [r, g, b]; clamp — Clamps a value to a range; fmt — Number formatting (fixed decimals); F — Formula block HTML; S.clear — Clears with the background colour (translucent = trails); S.onFrame — Registers a per-frame callback; its return value feeds the info panel; ctx.fillText() — Draws filled text; ctx.beginPath() — Starts a new path; ctx.moveTo() — Moves the pen without drawing; ctx.arcTo() — Adds an arc using tangent lines; ctx.closePath() — Closes the current sub-path; ctx.fill() — Fills the current path; ctx.stroke() — Strokes the current path; ctx.drawImage() — Draws an image or offscreen canvas; ctx.fillRect() — Fills a rectangle; gl.createShader() — Creates a vertex/fragment shader; gl.shaderSource() — Sets shader source; gl.compileShader() — Compiles a GLSL shader; gl.getShaderParameter() — Queries shader compile status; gl.getShaderInfoLog() — Reads the shader compile log; gl.createProgram() — Creates a shader program
Source code
frontend/src/demos/kits/kit-webgl.js: FAM.water (L257-L261)
Code walkthrough
L257-261: Calls the factory `glFam()` to produce the full definition (spec + doc + build) from the options below. L257-257: Title shown in the info and control panels: “Water Scintillation”. L257-257: Range/default of the size slider: Wave Height. L257-257: Range/default of the count slider: Wave layers. L258-258: Extra demo-specific slider/toggle: Scintillation Intensity. L258-258: Preset buttons: name → parameter overrides (4). L259-259: Body of the “Notes” section. L259-259: Main formula of the “Formula” section. L259-259: Second formula line. L260-261: GLSL fragment shader source (runs once per pixel on the GPU); uses uniforms `u_n`, `u_s`, `u_col`, `u_x`.
Principles
h = Σ sin(fᵢ·x + t·fᵢ) · cos(fᵢ·y − t) / fᵢ Fragmentation = max(h, 0)³ × Strength Surface: Multiple different directions, The frequency sine wave superheaves into water surface heights, where the peak area forms a bright focal-dispersed spot; the pointer moves the phase. Every pixel is here GPU Nowadays run the same snigger independently (fragment shader), Enter pixel coordinates uv And time t, Output the color of this pixel.
