More thoughts: using a different library like lyon we could have GPU-accelerated rendering for the canvas and potentially for SVGs too. Probably worth investigating at some point. |

This is built over the tiny-skia API (which is already used by the
Svgwidget).The canvas has a built-in cache since it is rendered on the CPU then uploaded as a GPU texture.
Potentially we could add other canvas widgets over other draw APIs in the future, in which case this widget should be renamed.
Note there is already another option for drawing: constructing a new widget with code in the
Layout::drawimplementation (not cached); see e.g.clockormandlebrotexamples.Also: some optimisations to text drawing.
