I am trying to learn how to use Skia.

I had an LLM generate a basic starter app and it chose Ganesh + GLFW. From a didactic perspective, this is convenient because I am familiar with OpenGL basics and GLFW.

Are there any example programs using the Graphite backend I could look at?

Would changing over to use Graphite require either using Google Dawn which is a pretty big library to build for someone just experimenting or setting up OS-specific windowing and graphics API initialization?

Thanks!
