These are work-in-progress proof-of-concept experiments. They may be unfinished, non-performant, or broken.

Experiments

• Debug - Testing or debugging during development.
• Element - A new layout element with unique behaviors.
• Shader - Adds an effect to an existing layout element.
• Utility - Additional functions and classes.
