We can do without pushgroup and make do with temporary surfaces quite easily. | We can do without pushgroup and make do with temporary surfaces quite easily. | ||
We probably don't need the context/surface distinction. We don't draw into a surface with multiple contexts at the same time. | |||
We don't really care about API convenience in Gecko. Unlike a regular application, we don't draw specific content, we just provide abstractions. So for example we only paint gradients in a couple of places, we only paint text in a few places, etc. Therefore we don't need to worry about passing lots of parameters to functions. | We don't really care about API convenience in Gecko.
