Description

Currently, the GLSL code for Megaplot is in large template strings in files under src/lib/shaders. As such, code support tooling such as syntax highlighting rarely works.

Instead, it would be better to have GLSL source code live in files with a .glsl extension. These could be loaded directly in TypeScript via the webpack-glsl-loader plugin, or by some other method.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Identify all template string locations in src/lib/shaders, extract GLSL code into .glsl files, and update imports using webpack glsl loader or raw loader.
