Abstract
This disclosure describes techniques and apparatuses directed to defining a layout () and drawing elements for display by a graphical user interface () on a display screen () of a computing device (). The process of laying out a drawing area occurs in floating point, but drawing occurs aligned to pixel boundaries of the display screen. Drawing may also occur relative to pixel offsets with respect to the display screen and the layout. This layout process occurs in floating point to avoid accumulating errors. However, drawing occurs pixel-aligned, optionally relative to pixel offsets, to improve visual results including the centering of nested layouts and sharp element edges.
