```

## Example
```js
const canvas = document.querySelector("canvas");
const wgpu = await WasmGPU.create(canvas);

const glyphField = wgpu.createGlyphField({ instanceCount: 1, positions: new Float32Array([0, 0, 0, 0]), rotations: new Float32Array([0, 0, 0, 1]), scales: new Float32Array([1, 1, 1, 0]), attributes: new Float32Array([0.5, 0, 0, 0]), scaleTransform: { mode: "linear", domainMin: 0, domainMax: 1 } });
glyphField.markDataDirty();
console.log("updated");
