The earlier design speculated that embedders could affect the same transformations on the layers post engine compositor presentation but before final composition. However, the linked issue points out that this design is not suitable for use with hardware overlay planes. When rendering to the same, to affect the transformation before composition, embedders would have to render to an off-screen render target and then apply the transformation before presentation. This patch negates the need for that off-screen render pass. To be clear, the previous architecture is still fully viable. Embedders still have full control over layer transformations before composition. This is an optimization for the hardware overlay planes use-case. Fixes b/139758641
Flutter Engine
Flutter is Google's mobile app SDK for crafting high-quality native interfaces on iOS and Android in record time. Flutter works with existing code, is used by developers and organizations around the world, and is free and open source.
The Flutter Engine is a portable runtime for hosting Flutter applications. It implements Flutter's core libraries, including animation and graphics, file and network I/O, accessibility support, plugin architecture, and a Dart runtime and compile toolchain. Most developers will interact with Flutter via the Flutter Framework, which provides a modern, reactive framework, and a rich set of platform, layout and foundation widgets.
If you are new to Flutter, then you will find more general information on the Flutter project, including tutorials and samples, on our Web site at Flutter.dev. For specific information about Flutter's APIs, consider our API reference which can be found at the docs.flutter.dev.
Flutter is a fully open source project, and we welcome contributions. Information on how to get started can be found at our contributor guide.
