agg_gui/widgets/label.rs
1//! `Label` — static text display widget.
2//!
3//! Labels are non-interactive by design (`hit_test` always returns `false`
4//! and `on_event` always returns `Ignored`). This makes them safe to use as
5//! transparent overlay children inside interactive parents like `Button` — the
6//! parent retains full hit-test and focus ownership.
7//!
8//! # Backbuffer
9//!
10//! When `buffered` is `true` AND the active `DrawCtx` supports image blitting
11//! (`ctx.has_image_blit()` returns `true`, i.e. the software `GfxCtx` path),
12//! the label pre-renders its glyphs into an offscreen `Framebuffer` on the
13//! first `paint()` call — or whenever `text`, `font_size`, `color`, or `bounds`
14//! change — and blits the cached pixels every subsequent frame via
15//! `ctx.draw_image_rgba()`. No font shaping or rasterisation occurs on cache
16//! hits.
17//!
18//! On the GL path (`has_image_blit()` → false) the label falls back to the
19//! direct `fill_text()` call; the GL path's `GlyphCache` provides equivalent
20//! glyph-level savings there.
