why all the effort to build the flow tree? can't any block be rendered in parallel to a buffer and then copied into the correct location once all the widths and heights are known? in the examples given it seems like all blocks including the green one could be rendered in parallel to separate buffers.
- sanxiyn 13y agoLayout is precisely about learning all the widths and heights. No rendering whatsoever happens in layout. And as you pointed out, rendering can be parallelized rather easily.
