In theory, a convex shape transformed by an affine matrix should still
be convex. However, due to numerical imprecision of floats, when we try
to determine if something is convex, we can get different answers pre
and post a transformation (think of two line segments nearly co-linear).
Convex paths take a faster scan converter, but it is only well behaved
if the path is, in fact, convex. Thus we have to be conservative about
which paths we mark as convex, and cant's trust transformed paths to
retain their convexity. We re-calculate when a transform is applied.
This repository holds the code for a unified application platform for XUL-based
applications. It is a hard fork from the Mozilla code repository (mozilla-central)
with an ESR-52 fork point.
In addition to further development based on the Mozilla upstream code, and
selective cherry-picking of directly-applicable patches, this repository has its
own development and holds the base for a future platform to be used by XUL
applications.
This repository will contain at least one application to demonstrate and make use
of the platform: The Basilisk web browser, a close twin to Mozilla's Firefox.
