1) Inside shader define path to the WireframeShader.cginc file. This can be easily done by clicking on the Copy Path button inside Wireframe Shader Instructions window. Keyboard memory now will contain path to the cginc file, just paste it into a shader.
2) Inside shader's vertex stage declare TEXCOORD3 (containing wireframe data) and send it to pixel shader stage.
3) Use WireframeShaderReadTriangleMassFromUV method inside pixel stage to read wireframe from the TEXCOORD3 buffer.
Package includes example shaders (Amazing Assets → Wireframe Shader → Shaders → Examples folder) for demonstrating steps described above.

}
ENDCG

Additionally shader API allows to use 4 type of the mask methods for hiding parts of a wireframe: Distance Fade, Plane, Sphere and Box masks. Each methods returns grayscale value in the range of [0, 1] and can be simple multiplied with the return result of the WireframeShaderReadTriangleMassFromUV method.
Clicking on the Copy button next to the mask name, copies method name and variables it receives to the keyboard memory.
Note, Plane, Sphere and Box masking methods require scene object transformation info to be updated using WireframeMaskController script, explained in the Dynamic Mask Controller chapter.
Package additionally contains example scenes demonstrating usage of masks and WireframeMaskController script.
