The `level.Canvas` is a widget that holds onto its Palette and Grid and
has interactions to allow scrolling and editing the grid using the
swatches available on the palette.
Thus all of the logic in the Editor Mode for drawing directly onto the
root SDL surface are now handled inside a level.Canvas instance.
The `level.Canvas` widget has the following properties:
* Like any widget it has an X,Y position and a width/height.
* It has a Scroll position to control which slice of its drawing will be
visible inside its bounding box.
* It supports levels having negative coordinates for their pixels. It
doesn't care. The default Scroll position is (0,0) at the top left
corner of the widget but you can scroll into the negatives and see the
negative pixels.
* Keyboard keys will scroll the viewport inside the canvas.
* The canvas draws only the pixels that are visible inside its bounding
box.
This feature will eventually pave the way toward:
* Doodads being dropped on top of your map, each Doodad being its own
Canvas widget.
* Using drawings as button icons for the user interface, as the Canvas
is a normal widget.
* Add ui.Window to easily create reusable windows with titles.
* Add a palette window (panel) to the right edge of the Edit Mode.
* Has Radio Buttons listing the colors available in the palette.
* Add palette support to Edit Mode so when you draw pixels, they take
on the color and attributes of the currently selected Swatch in your
palette.
* Revise the on-disk format to better serialize the Palette object to
JSON.
* Break Play Mode: collision detection fails because the Grid key
elements are now full Pixel objects (which retain their Palette and
Swatch properties).
* The Grid will need to be re-worked to separate X,Y coordinates from
the Pixel metadata to just test "is something there, and what is
it?"
CheckButton is a generic component based on Button that additionally
takes a *bool variable to manage. When the CheckButton is clicked or
unclicked, it will toggle the bool var and its border style will "stick"
in or out depending on the state.
Checkbox is a Frame widget that wraps a CheckButton and another child
widget, such as a Label. Interacting with the child widget will forward
all of its mouse events to the CheckButton, so that the Label could be
clicked instead of just the box itself.
