04 Display Pipeline

The culmination of a UI is in seeing the pixels on the screen. This is interestingly, an elaborate process that goes through a series of steps: - Define the final output as an object model - Apply layouts, styles, animations - Prepare the bitmaps and composite them for the GPU - Signal the hardware display to render And this is done frame-by-frame with a ton of optimizations for a 60 FPS experience. The display-pipeline is a pixel workhorse.
