//! The renderer boundary: a flat list of quads in physical pixels.
//!
//! A backend needs exactly two abilities: draw these quads, and mirror the
//! glyph atlas to a texture. Everything else (layout, shaping, styling)
//! happened already. [`Core::output`](crate::Core::output) hands out the
//! finished frame's [`DisplayList`] together with the window's
//! [`GlyphAtlas`](crate::atlas::GlyphAtlas).
//!
//! Consuming one frame:
//!
//! ```rust
//! use kui_core::{Color, Core, NodeSpec, QuadKind, Size};
//!
//! let mut core = Core::new();
//! let mut ui = core.frame(Size::new(200.0, 100.0), 2.0);
//! ui.leaf(NodeSpec::row().size(50.0, 20.0).bg(Color::WHITE));
//! ui.finish();
//!
//! let (list, atlas) = core.output();
//! if atlas.dirty {
//!     // Upload `atlas.pixels` (RGBA, `atlas.size` square). When
//!     // `atlas.epoch` moved, the page was replaced: re-create the texture.
//!     atlas.dirty = false;
//! }
//! for quad in &list.quads {
//!     let clip = list.clip_of(quad); // physical px, like `quad.rect`
//!     match quad.kind {
//!         QuadKind::Solid => { /* rounded rect, optional border */ }
//!         QuadKind::GlyphMask | QuadKind::GlyphColor | QuadKind::GlyphSubpixel => {
//!             /* sample the atlas at the texel rect in `quad.uv` */
//!         }
//!         _ => { /* see each variant's doc */ }
//!     }
//!     let _ = clip;
//! }
//! assert_eq!(list.scale, 2.0);
//! // 50 logical px at scale 2.
//! assert!(list.quads.iter().any(|q| q.kind == QuadKind::Solid && q.rect.w == 100.0));
//! ```
//!
//! Quads are in paint order. Every quad names an entry of
//! [`DisplayList::clips`]; a [`QuadKind::Fragment`] or
//! [`QuadKind::Texture`] quad also names an entry of
//! [`DisplayList::fragments`] or [`DisplayList::textures`] through
//! `uv[0]`, and the list carries what a backend needs to compile or upload
//! those the first time it meets them.
